Friday 21 October 2011
It was an easy day, picking up some groceries for Colleen and ourselves. Nicole and Dian practiced a bit for their night of singing at Juni's four-star restaurant.
Lisa generously took Nicole and Dian to her house to pick out some flashy "performance clothes", which helped spice up the two a great deal. She even let Nicole keep the dress she had picked out, though she gave back the necklace given to Lisa by Desmond Tutu and the fabulous jacket Nicole is now on a quest to find one similar to.
We all ate a splendid dinner at Juni's that evening, filled with fantastic seafood to warm up any singer's throat to their finest. We were joined by Lucia, Colleen and Lisa's fellow ex-pat from Australia. We found out later, to our surprise and delight, that we had been comped!
Nicole and Dian got up to sing a few songs, but were soon joined vivaciously by a table of Dutch tourists. It was all in good fun, and they shockingly knew just about every song the duo played! They even took to suggesting some later on. A slight negative to the rowdy crowd was that Dian and Nicole strained their voices a little too much in order to be heard, resulting in sore throats the next day, but all is fair in wine and busking.
As a farewell gift Dian gave Juni a Vava LaVoom CD, which she seemed very grateful for.
Great food, great company, great music-making, great day.
