Back to normal

Well, its been a long month since the last update which was not wedding related. Things are gradually returning to normal over here in Perth. The house is back to normal, there are a lot less cars in the driveway and the police are being called less and less, I think the kongs are worried..... So, on with the update.
 
Liam took me to a footy game last friday. As you all know I am not the sporty type, but last fridays experience was not unlike a person with a fear of air travel flying first class and having a change of heart, Liam and I were sitting in a box on the half way line, with an open bar and a waitress. It was fantastic! I got to understand the rules of teh game and by the end was yelling out all sorts of combination of vowels. "aaaarrraaaaooouuuuuuuuuaaaarrraaa!!!!", "eeeeeaaaaooouuooiiiiieeee?" etc.
 
PLayed a wedding the other day and for down the isle they wanted Guns'n'Roses sweet child of mine. Tristen the cellist arranged it with a great big 8 bar solo entry...THE solo entry. Fantastic!
 
And check this out, its one of the PRoC tops, if you read it upsidedown and in the mirror it says stuff, sort of funny if your a fanatical Corkonian.
 
And check this out. Since the last guest left Jane and I have been on a sort of detox regieme which means no booze or carbs. Its working out good, but to give these new fancy tofu dushes a bit of a kick I have re-discovered tabasco. This stuff is fantastic, bams everything up a notch!

More stuff is growing

 
It seems everythign we try to grow dies a prolonged, withery, drought induced death except for this wee pepper. I think the only reason it has survived this far is because it looks like a leaf and has managed to avoid our horticultural 'attention'.

Happy St Paddies day

 
We did our usual 4 gigs on P-day this year, starting at 8am in JB O Riellys, they had the whole place set up like a wee village, with signposts all over the place, it was very nice, a bonus that they also had chipsticks on sale for $3 per bag. Bargain!

And here was the inflatable shamrock in the Burswood where we played for the rest of the day. We played in the bar and on the casino stage to a few hundred gambling pensioners. Easiest paddys day yet!
