Yesterday afternoon I went to Kedron Wavell to see the legendary British group Hermans Hermits which it was my 15th seeing them and I had not seen them live for nearly 6 years since Friday August 17th 2018 at Redlands Performing Arts Center. I caught the bus from the city to Chermside, had an look at Dymocks where I bought an book by Billy Connolly and QBD and walk to Kedron Wavell. Went to the Kitchen, saw Maggie, Lorriane and Sue, rang home,ordered my meal, got Coke with No sugar and did writing.
