January 14. Day 14. Kicking one entry off the bucket list

 It is disgraceful but me, the performing arts tragic, has never been to a performance at the Sydney Opera House - until today.
Indeed it is was on the bucket list. But as part of the 18th Birthday Festival - which is after all the 18th anniversary of the day I gave birth - I have crossed that off the list.
Because it is the Opera House, it was decided an Opera should be the order of the day and the Magic Flute seemed perfect.
Not even afternoon storm when we picked up the tickets and a security scare that temporarily closed the venue could dampen the enthusiasm - after all, a bucket list is a bucket list, and a bit of water shouldn't rain on that parade. In any event it was a triumph and an event befitting of the occasion!
