With Mum's current wellbeing overflowing into all facets of life, we're keen to make the most of this special time when she's free from pain and feeling well enough to go out and socialise.
The other night, we booked tickets to the upcoming season of South Pacific at the Sydney Opera House, and we're both looking forward to the show immensely. Mum saw a production of South Pacific with Dad a number of years ago and loved it; and she's keen to compare this new production with the other one that she and Dad saw. I am also looking forward to the show because the lovely Teddy Tahu Rhodes will be playing one of the leads, and I have heard that his rendition of One Enchanted Evening is goosebump-inducing. There's also the added bonus that an old Hobart friend is in the cast, so it will provide a chance to catch up with him too (and it's always exciting to see friends doing so well at a national level).
It's somewhat of a nice change to be planning social activities rather than medical appointments.
With Mum being so well, I'm thinking that now could be a good time for me to take a brief trip to Melbourne for a bit of a break. Mum's neighbours will be able to keep an eye on her whilst I'm away, and support her if she needs it. I'd been thinking of this for a while, and then today, I received an invitation to a friend's 50th birthday party in Melbourne later this month, which provided the perfect opportunity for me to take that trip to Melbourne.
I'm looking forward to catching up with some friends and colleagues down there, and am grateful for this chance to do it.
