Hello again from sunny Sydney! At least that's what it was meant to be when I got here... Sunny... But for some reason this is not the case. Probably not the worst thing based on the colour of my skin, which now sits somewhere between "milky" and "snowy" courtesy of three months in the Irish winter. If only I still had the hair to match! Those were the days...
Anyway you'll be pleased to know that sun or no sun I still haven't lost my ability to spit out the most inane rubbish for your reading pleasure. Here are some of the brief highlights of my trip so far:
* My first trip on an A380, and my window seat was hijacked by screaming kids... Tragedy.
* I got an eagle on the 7th hole at Avalon Golf Course. That's a 2 on a par 4. Really. But nobody saw it... Tragedy.
* I spent one hour on a surfboard yesterday without catching a single wave... Tragedy.
Fortunately things can only go up from here, especially if I manage to find a cheap set of wheels. Ideally something slightly better than the one fitting this description, which I came across on gumtree:
"Needs a new motor, but runs great".
If I didn't know any better, I'd say I was still in Ireland!
Good thing there are a few gigs to look forward to.... Provided I can get to them...

Incidentally, the sun just came out. Bonus!

Round Robin with Sam Buckingham, Sarah Humphreys and Kent Eastwood

A set of solo songs, intermission, then all four of us together - harmonies, different instruments, stories, laughs and more.
Would recommend booking in advance - tix are selling fast.
