New outdoor cinema premiere

Well, we finally got around to using the new outdoor cinema.

First viewing of the winter season kicked off to a toasty start.

Did a concert last Friday at my school, look where someone left the cowbells!

Jedi finn

Red Bull Air Race

we went down to see the red bull air race at the weekend. This is a video of Mick and me at the end of the runway with planes landing above us.

Showtime

We took Finn to the movies the other day to see How to Train your Dragon 3D (hense the glasses). Here he is tucking into the popcorn.

Happy Anniversary

We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary the other day and had a great day out, and Jane got me this as a present. Its a lego replica with nearly 5200 pieces. Im sure there are some cars (possibly toyota's) with less parts.


The instruction manual is nearly 300 pages with a few steps on each page. the bags of bits are not numbered and arranged at random. I'm clocking an average of 20 mins per page, so I should be done this time next year...

More broome shots

Here is one the guide took on my phone

Check this one out, I had to refill the tank of the scooter we rented before dropping it back, full tank $3.33.

And have a look at this, its the Tommy Fleming CD, available in record stores over here in OZ, this guy sure gets around!

Camel Ride

We went camel riding on the beach one evening

As the sun began to set our shadows got really big

Here I am on my guy, note the fancy indiana jones style hat and manbag......

I was at the back and here is the turnaround point.

We hired a scooter from, wait for it, the broome broome car hire company. Classic.

We went to broome for a few days over teh easter break, it was great craic, here is the plane we flew up on.

I am currently on school holidays and am up in sunny Broome for a week, normal service shall resume shortly....

upgrades to the upgrades

Last week I pondered getting a basket for my bike as it comes in quite handy when doing the shopping, you know the way you would pick up some groceries then spend the cycle home with one bag of shopping hanging off one side of the handlebars and one on the other, vainly trying to balance going around corners without the front wheel tearing the bag. Well, the little clip I put on was so good I substituted it with two larger ones and a stronger set of cable ties so now I can carry loads of stuff, and as its in the centreline of the bike it doesnt effect the balance.

Check out what Im having for breakfast this week at work.

Stormy weather

A storm blew through Perth last night causing all sorts of damage, check out the size of these hailstones!

Atticus Morris

Born on the 22nd of March, all doing well.

More upgrades......

It is coming into the autumn here so we get the occasional shower, so I felt it necessary to pack my all weather gear this morning on the way to school. Three cable ties and a keyring clip and away we go. (note no duct tape OR velcro was used.....)

Gig storage

Check it out, door to door comfortably in 25 mins, from my house to His Majestys Theatre in the city centre where I am playing in Oklahoma for a few weeks, and I can leave my bike backstage under a table whilst all the rest of the crew battle with inner city parking. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

short back'n'sides please

So there I was, playing away at a gig the other day, irish band stuff, really loud and lively atmosphere so i got stuck right, gave it absolutely welly and literally shredded my bow! Broke a few hairs at the start then a few more, then a few more, after the gig i looked down and the floor was littered with discarded bow-hairs, so I got the sound guy to turn me up a bit and it was easier to play after that.
