Thank you! I got the weather you sent! And the weather was fantastic. I always say there is no such thing as bad weather when on holidays, just bad clothing choices. I saw Les Mis on Thursday night and just loved it. On Friday night it poured with rain, so we choose to wear room service and a doona cover, which made for a perfect night. Vivid was simply spectacular!!!



You really missed a brilliant show. Here are a couple of pics for you. We were in Darling Harbour Saturday night and Circular Quay Sunday and it was AWESOME! I would highly recommend the trip to anyone looking to be left in awe by the explosions of ever changing art and colour. It can only be described as magical.

We still have another week and a bit off, and being home owners now, we are tweaking the garden and garage. I can't believe I am actually excited at the prospect of getting a compost thingy! What has happened to me????

Im not sure whether I had set my expectations too high or what, but I wasn't as overwhelmed as I thought I might be by Vivid. It was cool. The museum of contemporary art was the most stunning thing for me.
 
As I crossed the road today I saw BB Season 1 winner Ben Williams crossing the other way. It must be strange getting even slight eye contact recognition from strangers in the street, so long after the fact. We only locked eyes for 1/5th of a second, not a grease or anything more than recalling eye contact, but it was enough for me to decide it really wouldn't be fun.

I saw Scotty Cam and a camera guy filming the other day. The street was empty except for them and me. It was weird. I thought about photo bombing, for less than 1/5th of a second.

You should have got an autograph.

I'm glad Scotty got some time in front of the camera. He has been so terribly under-exposed lately.

Ha ha. And his belly is terribly over-exposed as a result. Too much of the good life.

GROOVER can correct if I'm wrong but I think she was referring to the fact that she wasn't aware there was a remake/reboot of Twin Peaks in the cards, which it has been for almost a year. That's the impression I got from her post anyway.

Hey Connoisseur. I was aware that there was a possibility Twin Peaks would be rebooted but then it was shelved and I never heard about it again until reading your post the other day, hence my excitement.;)
 
Good morning, oops afternoon to my OT Freaks!!

Your expectations are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high! The Opera House canvas alone made it for me. I think we stood in front of the Museum for a good hour just ahhhhhhhhing at the ever changing beauty.

You really must. It is simply magical. Don't listen to Bleachy! He is a known Negative Nelly!

Right I am off for lunch at Mooloolaba, if you haven't been there, google it. Best beach in the WHOLE world! To those I love - enjoy your day! To those I loathe, oh enjoy your day too. Grudges are aging.

:) :)
 
Haha yeah @Trala is right @crimmy -- it's totally worth it, even if my expectations were apparently too high. Lol.

Here are some of my fave pics. I wish I could say I took the bridge one, but a mate took my camera and snapped that shot!

The ferry ride from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay was well worth it. :)

friend of mine who also went said she didn't find it all that great either. She said she much preferred seeing pics on the internet

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's lovely.. Just not as spectacular as perhaps I was expecting. I agree, looking at pictures of Vivid is heaps more interesting. Good photographers, of which I am not one, can do some cool things with the lights.

The reason I love the bridge shot I posted above, even though it seems a bit dark here... Is the colours reflected across the water.
