I sent a text to my mum last night along the lines of “Guess where I am!”. But then he came back on stage again and I didn’t see her reply.

Yes, Gin & I saw Leonard Cohen live last night at Rod Laver arena (where the Australian open was, by the way). I wasn’t quite sure what to expect; after all, the guy is now 74. What I wasn’t expecting was to be blown away.
He was magnificent.
In incredible voice, backed by a superb band and up alongside Sharon Robinson (10 New Songs, Everybody Knows, Waiting for the Miracle etc) and seeming to have a brilliant time, he skipped onto the stage and gave a marathon 3 hour set.
And at 74, he still has women screaming their love for him.
Charlotte Robinson p’raps dear?
I called her that at the time, didn’t I? My mistake, as proven by wikipedia!
