I took Skin to the Coral Sea Resort on Sunday afternoon to hear a soul filling band play jazz. They are called the John Garland trio.
( I think John might have a sister called Judy!)
As we are both on a health kick, we walked to the resort through the little township of Airlie Beach and up an enormous hill.
We certainly deserved to sit in these comfy cane chairs when we arrived.
I looked out to sea and pretended that I was SHIRLEY VALENTINE!
Then I introduced Skin to the members of the band, John, John, Reg and Jennifer.
Skin was very confused to meet four people in the band when TRIO means THREE! He was also confused that two of the men had the same name.
( I told him that we can't be good at everything and that the music played by this trio certainly made up for the fact that they couldn't count.)
Skin agreed and immediately decided that he would become a musician too.
( PROBABLY TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS 'RUNNING AWAY PROBLEM!)
First he had a go on the drums....
Then the bass guitar.....
Then he tried the keyboard......
Then he decided he would be a conductor and tried to read the music......
I was beginning to feel so proud of Skin as I watched him develop his musical skills, WHEN.......
OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE.....WHO SHOULD I SPY BUT.....
LYN AND FLYNN CARROT!!!!!!
They were watching the band, AND SKIN from afar.
The next thing I saw was Skin strolling over to say hello.
He asked me to take a photo of them all relaxing on a COSY cane chair.
I turned away ,just for a second, to put my camera in my bag and when I looked up, this is what I saw.....
Skin and the girls were heading off along the jetty in a trolley.
Just then I heard some soft music coming from behind....
I turned around to see......
A line of chairs waiting for a BRIDE AND GROOM.
COULD THIS BE AN OMEN?
