Kate Ceberano

This morning I woke up reasonably late and started working on a new earring design before Kate arrived with Jessie the dog about 12.45. We went for a walk down to the lakes and did a couple of laps before heading to the cafe for lunch. We sat there for ages chatting and drinking coffee.

Before we realised it, it was 2.30 and it was time to head back. I picked up some stuff and then we drove over to Burnside Primary School to pick up Luke. Kate then dropped me at the chiropractor for my appointment with Malcolm while she did a few things at Burnside Village.

I got out well before her so I started walking to their place up Kensington Road and she would pick me up. I got all the way up to Hallet Road and probably within 300m of their house before she finaly caught up with me.

Back at Kate's place, I had a shower and then Stan cooked us dinner before Kate's friends Alexandra and Kerry came over. About 7.30 we headed into town and found a park off Rundle Street. Poor Donna who was supposed to be meeting us drove in but couldn't find a park so she drove home again and had David drop her off. Eventually she caught up with us as we stood in the line waiting to get into the Speigeltent.

While we waited, I popped over to the bar and bought a bottle of bubbles which the bar lady gave me in an ice bucket with 4 glasses to take back to the girls. This definitely made the wait more bareable although I only had a couple of sips of Kates. Eventually the show before ours finished and we headed into the Speigeltent. It was the first time I had ever been in there and it was beautiful with mirrors on the walls and wood panelling and even a bar inside!

Kate Ceberano took the stage with her brother who played lead guitar and her band. She started with a few classics of hers and a couple of covers before throwing it open to the audience to choose songs out of a hat. She even did a Divynls song which was pretty funny. Some of her really old songs came out of the hat and it was funny to watch Phil, her brother, calling out the chord changes to the rest of the band who obviously hadn't played them for a very long time if at all. Kate was very funny and entertaining and the show was a lot better than I expected. We all really enjoyed it and said that we wished it had been longer than it was.

After the show finished, Donna headed home in a taxi. The other girls and I headed to Cocolat cafe for a coffee and a couple of chocolates - yum! Alexandra drove us back to Kate's place and then Kate drove me home about midnight. I was exhausted but it was a good night out.
