Beautiful weather - yep - perfect. 22 degrees. Winter-sun. Clear blue sky.
Perfect.
Mind is willing to go and DO things.
Body's being strange!
.............feels like I'm writing in my daily diary!!!!

Some aspects of this celebration were, for me, out of the comfort zone, a bit surreal, or strange.
My "Tom-tom" took me off the main road and into the countryside around Scheyville, leaving me wondering for a while, if we'd find the place.
But we did!
And I carried my (heavy) piano-accordion towards the main area, until I was helped by a kind NPWS officer. She brought it to the area, around the monument for me, where I'd been invited to play, to, basically, attract attention to the ceremony that would take place there, in an appropriate way, i.e., playing a larger version of the instrument that I'd brought to Scheyville, as an immigrant of 12, in 1956.
