So I spent most of the weekend in those places listed above, would rather post pictures than relay the various gossip items as enjoyable as I found them, suffice it to say, it was exactly the kind of thing I needed. It is nice to be reminded I have good friends and even the capacity to make new ones, and it all worked really well tbh.
These horses were hanging out somewhere and we all turned up to rehearse. So, the plan was that Loaded and True got offered a support slot with The Bats at the Coledale RSL and they asked me if I would play with them, I'm not sure why but I said OK. This was the one rehearsal we had (after Alec sent around a big 30-minute MP3 of the songs).
The songs are really good, it was a pleasure to play on them.
We didn't rehearse long, then I went to Amanda and Greg's place where I was staying and that evening we saw Dave Graney and Clare Moore at the Heritage Hotel. Two sets. The new DG&CM album is called Laburnum of the Mind and it's really good.
A&G have two really nice and skittish small cats, this is the less scared of them (though when I got up on Monday morning at 4:30 the cats really loved me). Austinmer cockatoos, they're obviously a horrendous nuisance except I just love those scallywags.
On Sunday we took a trip to Port Kembla to have lunch basically and see the great bizarre jumble of things they have there.
Guess what these Five Islands are called. I don't mean individually, I mean collectively.
We walked out on this, I'll make that a separate post, sometimes if posts are too big and exciting, they buckle.
