[m i a o w] the cat

I am actually still alive, as long as you don’t go by how little I’ve been posting here on [m i a o w]. There are changes brewing and I hope they will cure me of my non-blogging blues, which have been firmly in place ever since I was stupid enough to commit to working four days a week. It began as a nice three day job, and when it became a four day job ‘just for a little while’ I realised soon after that it’s actually a five day a week job in disguise.

Which is fine, but it should be without masquerade! Our time in Melbourne was supposed to be a bit of a holiday. M was going to finish his boat. I was going to play music. M’s stuff has happened according to plan. My side of the whole thing just got demolished by my new job, and the fact that I’m in Hampton and Christine is in the true depths of Preston and is playing in another band. And she doesn’t want to continue with BM. So…

On Thursday I quit my job. M and I are buying a shed, putting it somewhere in the middle of my dad’s orchard, filling it with our stuff and are going to hang out in Brunswick Heads in northern NSW for a few weeks, surfing and looking for somewhere to rent that we can build the big boat. We’re hoping to rent somewhere with a bit more action than Hervey Bay and not too far from a beach. And also within a reasonable distance to our friends in Rosebank, so we can bother them with Coopers and pesto.

So there’s the gossip. Meanwhile, Small Brother lurks in Rio, not yet having been mugged, as far as we know. We’ve got just over three more weeks in the wilds of Hampton before we put our plan into action. We’re going to be caravan park dwellers, and I can’t wait!

That’s great news B! I look forward to hearing your tales from those parts.
I would also love to say please come via Sydney on your way through and then we could catch a gig at some lovely place like the Hoey or the Annandale but alas I can not. By the time you venture northwards, I will be in the Kimberley. Although if you stick around those northern NSW parts maybe I can find you somewhere on the coast on my way home.
