It's been a while since I've blogged, and I think the girls have done an admirable job in the meantime!
Things worth noting:
In the 'Twiddling Her Frog' blog, Ren mentioned that I was staring up at the sky looking a bit dazed. That might have been because there was a massive storm brewing, and I didn't want to go inside, I wanted to watch this thing develop (which disappointingly never hit Meadowbrook at all!). Yes, I do love looking at the sky, I'm hopeless like that, but I love Mother Nature and all the wonderful things she throws at us :)
My crazy big-haired little sister Hayley has been such an godsend these past few months. Her voice is stunning, and she has given us lots of laughs. Cheers Hailze! The funniest thing people say to myself and Hailze is, 'I can't believe you're related!' Heh, neither can we!
Ren is only allowed a maximum of three coffees in a night, otherwise she starts getting really jumpy & paranoid. I'm fearing for Mannie's safety if she keeps it up! Kudos to Eric the Meadowbrook Barman (no half-a-bee in sight, I'm afraid) who makes the coffees :) The look on Ren's face when we took her to the 'dodgy servo around the corner' was utterly priceless. She was literally stunned. Must've felt like Alice when she fell down the rabbit-hole :) I can understand how dodgy servos can look like a fluro Wonderland with the attendants sometimes resembling a Cheshire Cat . . . sort of!
At the last gig Paul's new guitar pickups debuted, they sound fantastic. Keep up the harmony singing, btw, Paul! :) Poor Mannie, he'd flown in from Mt Isa that morning for work, and was understandably & not surprisingly 'knockered'. At times like this Paul or myself drive the van so he can chill out. I lent Renee my mirrorball silver glitter to outline her incredible eyes, and halfway through the gig she forgot she was wearing it and promptly rubbed her eye! Well. The panic that ensued! I half expected an ambulance to turn up at one point. But she bravely played on like the trooper she is :) And you go girl, the voice that came out of her last Friday during Dreams sounded completely different to the one we heard last time -she had practiced her head off and she sounded amazing. Bring on the songs!
