MUSIC MADNESS ....... and more

Hi everyone, hope your weekend was a pleasant one and all the Moms were treated royally. 





MUSIC LOVERS 


Well for the weekend I ,we were totally immersed in watching the Eurovision song contest. For those who don't know about it  or maybe only heard something about it. Well let me tell you it is  a very BIG event in Europe.  Just to give you an idea, Celine Dion  sang at the  contest and i do believe she won.  And of course ABBA  made it big from it.

So basically all of Europe is part of it,  as is Australia as a guest .  I was lucky enough to actually see the contest live  here   a WÖW moment.   For anyone who loves music and live performances it is
the best show in town. This year it was held in beautiful Portugal.

25 performances, and voting done by public and a jury. IT lasts hours, so a die hard fan will be watching it till the early hours.  Even here  some restaurants and theatres were holding  song contest parties.    ITs almost as crazy as the soccer events.


Some of my favourites from the event... the songs and singers

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
