Hmmm, so is this the day for eating of chocolate Easter Eggs? Not sure, pehaps I had better have one just to be on the safe side.
8:00am and it is off to the Poets Breakfast for my first public performance of the festival. It is a poem called "Out Back Yard". See below. It goes down moderately well.
Then off to the piazza to watch the Molonglo Mayhem Morris.
I will have a more complete separate post on Morris later but let me just say that only something this daggy could be so much fun.
Molonglo Mayhem Morris represent Morris dancing from the border regions and are characterised by the ragged clothes costumes and the face painting. If I was going to get into Morris this one would be for me.
Anything that gives you an excuse to dress up like a complete fool and paint your face has to be inherently worthwhile.
There are many jewels hidden amongst the leaves in this forgotten part of the ancient forest. Spend some time browsing and you are sure to find some. Click here or continue your search below
or read the most recent entries here.Heh. Did you read that at the festival?
