So. Childers. It was absolutely amazing :) Once again I've split my blogs into three, to cover what happened over the weekend.
Friday: I’m currently in the back of the van, it’s 10:30pm and we’re on our way up to Bundaberg to perform at the Childers Multicultural Festival.
The first thing I was entertained with was a hysterical story Hailze told about our Nanna’s friend. She spilled coffee on her new cordless Telstra phone, then rinsed it under water to wash off the coffee. Incredibly, she then microwaved it to dry it off (I kid you not!!). Amazingly, she took this black smouldering mass back to the shops for a replacement & even more amazingly, she received a replacement, because there wasn’t anything in the manual that said not to rinse or microwave your cordless phone.
After Mannie, Paul and I finished wiping the tears from our eyes we got on with the impending drive.
It set the scene for a Sunas road trip nicely :)
We stopped at Gympie for Fat Maccas (there really isn’t any other way to explain, is there?), and are back in the van ready for the next leg. Paul is driving now, and Mannie is taking full advantage of this break by snoozing in the passenger seat with his hoodie on. He looks like a trendy monk :) Paul is blissing out to Vangelis and off in his own little driving world, while my sister Hailze is sitting next to me listening to songs on her phone and bopping her head away. I'm guessing John Butler is inspiring the bopping. I have my lovely latte, but I just can’t get comfortable back here. I’m very appreciative of the beloved van, but the seats weren’t built for long distance travel.
We’re staying with Jan & Col Perrin in Bundaberg. We met Jan through my friend Kristie while performing up at Bundaberg North State High School a few months back. I’m looking forward to catching with Col & Jan, they're the lovliest people, and I know the boys & Hailze will get along with them famously!
Not too fond of this sleeping vertically business - this is shite! Bring on the horizontal spaces. More later.
