No, not the old Marx brothers' movie but a real night out!
This weekend was great as I was visited by some old and dear friends from Denmark I had not seen for many years. I met Jes when I was working in Swaziland in about 1976, just at the end of that tour for me he was joined by Grethe who is now his wife. Jes is a civil engineer specialising in water resources and supply and Grethe is now a doctor. We have kept in touch over rhe years but visits have been few and far between. Anyway Jes and Grethe decided to viist Vienna to see "Carmen" in a new production at the Statsoper - they stayed with me and we all got seats for the second night.It was a splendid evening out and a super way to finish a great weekend
