Braved the ridiculous and brutal 44C humidex to see one of my favourite Taiwanese performers, Waa Wei, at Mel Lastman Square today. And I'm not leaving our AC again for a few days!

We got to see Yo-Yo Ma perform yesterday!
He shared stories about his life and how music can guide us on a path towards hope.
And he played Bach Cello Suite No. 1. Fantastic.
It was delightful 😊
