Lolloping down the Back Strait, EBooks etc

I've been beavering away here and looking at the EBooks and the whole Gutenberg Project and the World Public Library thing is amazing. What a brilliant initiative!
I tried to subscribe but then got stuck at the last when it wouldn't accept my username. Had to abandon it for the moment and am a bit concerned about the online security of those credit card details! but will try again later.
I'm very excited today as we are going into Arts centre this arvo for a concert by one of Greece's favourite female singers. We'll probably be two of the few Anglos in the audience, as Eleftheria (meaning freedom) is pulling a sellout Melbourne Greek crowd.

  1. I can blame you and the Greeks then can I?! ;-)
    No street parking, last park on that level in the Arts Centre car park (whew!), footpaths awash with people .... ages since I've seen crowds like it. I was heading to the Recital Hall where Diana Doherty played the oboe brilliantly with the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra. I hope your concert was as good!

  2. It was great! We got there pretty early and on foot(went by train) I HATE car parks and parking generally! Your concert sounded good as well. I think its great seeing so many people out and about and enjoying the city and the cultural pursuits :)
