It has been raining all day and all of last night; very welcome, but very wet.  Actually is has been raining on and off since Friday, and today is Monday.  Opera on the Mountain was due to happen yesterday, and I heard on the radio that they might cancel.  I understand they didn't cancel but relocated to the Vonda Youngman Community Centre, although I am not sure how they would have all fitted in.  As I haven't set foot out of the house, except to take the dogs for a very wet walk, I haven't seen anyone to discuss it.

 Graham and I were asked to film it again this year, but we decided against it as we will be filming the Christmas in July next month which will be quite a feat, as it will entail three full days of filming.  It is put on by the Make a Wish foundation for the little children who may not see the next proper Christmas.  What we will be hoping to do is to film the whole process so that we can give a DVD to the parents.  We feel this is such a worth while occasion and as the two functions were so close in time we decided to forgo the Opera.  As it turned out we certainly made the right decision.
