Wine and music

There was a reception last night put on by the Australian Embassy with a great deal of wine and relatively little food. The musicians and visiting Australians attended and many of them went on to the KGB nightclub afterwards. We might all be a bit seedy this morning, but rehearsals continue and no one is late.

There is an official wine tasting tour after tonight's concert butt perhaps there will be less wine drunk than would have been the case had the Embassy not been so generous.
