Had a little note from a choir ‘friend’ telling me this is what we (girls) will be rehearsing next term. Quite a haunting tune and we’ll be singing it in its original language (hopefully sounding a little like these singers).
Song of the Beach (seashore) – Japanese folk song.
Sung by KRAJA – a Swedish group
The Song of the Seashore (English translation)
If I wander about ashore this morning
It will bring me back to good ol’ times
The sound of the wind, the way clouds change.
Waves breaking in, the colour of the shells
If I roam about ashore this evening
My beloved will bring me back then
Waves breaking in and waning back
The colour of the moon, the light of the stars

It’s Monday and we’re about to start our journey home, today we’ll begin making our way south down the east coast on the Bruce, 500+kms to Rockhampton.
Then there’s another 2,000 km after that 😊😎
I said to The Golfer I thought now was right time to go home, it really has become a bit on the warm side and humid as well…yes Melbourne can become hot and have its humid days but they’re not normally continuous one after the other. We’ll just have to see what summer brings won’t we😎
Anyway guess what I’ll be missing during the six hour drive??
I’ll be back sometime soon – will have a wee break after we get home
Bye for now.

Ahhh! Beautiful Rose Bay, with Gloucester Island off in the distance.
Take good care…stay safe on the long drive home, Cathy. 🙂 It’s ages since I’ve done that drive down along the Bruce. Last time was in April, 1998…Mackay to Gympie…at night.
