G'Day mate, the wife informed me she was taking me to the Opera House to see some musical thing called Madame Butterfly. ...well I was watching the Aussie Rules on TV but she promised me a case of Fosters so I put on my strides and off we went. I knew something was wrong as soon as it began cos they were singing in Italian. Fortunately there was a translation on a screen above the stage or I would have been as lost as a blind dingo in the Outback. The story goes something like this....bloke from America goes to Japan and cops off with tarty geisha girl. Has a good time then does a runner home. When he returns 3 years later she gets all upset cos he's married someone else and she claims her child is his (that old chestnut). She's as mad as a cut snake but rather than hit him for child maintenance she kills herself. As I said to Mrs C at least there was a happy ending. Not a bad night out really and better than watching England play cricket......Mrs C had a tear in her eye at the end but I think it was her contact lenses playing up. All well and good here in Oz.....goodnight all x x
