2nd January - MONA concert - Violent Femmes


Friday 2nd January 2015


Yesterday we spent five hours at MONA, on the lawns, with bright blue sky and brilliant sunshine and MUSIC!  (Ben Salter, Augie March, the Violent Femmes.)

Several thousand people peacefully sitting on the grass.  And then up and dancing when the Violent Femmes did their thing.


Pete found a small patch of shade and huddled there very happily for the first few hours. 


I sat on a wooden hose reel, under my umbrella, next to some nice people from Melbourne, who had crammed in an amazing number of activities into their five days on the island.  Two little boys called Oscar and Connor came to talk to me.  Connor was about three and he informed me that they didn’t live “in this country.”  They live across the river in Bellerive; they were only at MONA “for the party.”  Fair enough!


Later when the sun had lost is ferocity we moved closer to the stage with our friends and relations.


Such a nice way to spend the first day of the year.
