88/365 – I can’t dance

“This photo was created for two very special reasons.

1. To make Lucy smile. She’s a bit stressed out with her workload at the minute and is a tad frazzled. Hopefully this photo of ‘your dag’ dancing very badly will make you laugh and smile, even if just for a minute.

2. It’s also a Happy Birthday dance for Rosie! Happy Birthday!”

A text message plus a phone call later confirmed that my photo did indeed make Lucy smile and laugh … and a message early this morning told me that lot’s of people liked it as it made Flickr’s “explore”.

Another ridiculous day coming up which makes me wonder why my brain won’t let my body sleep past seven am. I’m playing in Queenscliff tonight for a military ball scheduled to finish at one am.

After which I’m driving home. Expecting to hit bed by about three thirty.

This post is being written at 0636 … in the morning.

I could have written it at 06.05 but my brain wasn’t up to being creative.

Lucy is spending the day in Brisbane for work today so she had to be at the airport for an early flight. Being the caring sharing partner I am I happily got up when the alarm went off at 0500 and left when she did.

Poor thing looked rather tired this morning.

Last night was the dress rehearsal for the Murder Mystery she is taking part in over the next three Fridays. Funny show with a lot of improv ability required by the cast. I took the cast photos for the foyer and will be taking photos of the show next week.

Hope you all have a great day … I’m thinking of going back to bed. I have a army rehearsal tonight but not until seven.

Seven hours straight sleep ( a miracle for me) and 45 minutes on the computer catching up on things and I feel much better.

Now to shower, grab some breakfast, organise my clothes for tonight and uniform for tomorrow and I’m out of here.

Thanks to Ben from army for lending me his GPS unit for the road trip.

I know a couple of the army crowd read this so this is for you:

My side drum is on the floor in the middle of the bandroom hallway, please bring it on Sunday as I had no more room in my car – Thanks!

Time to move.

I’m writing this at a net kiosk at Brisbane airport … in a nutshell, the parade for the departing soldiers went very well. It was bloody hot and I may be a little redder than when I left Melbourne.

Flight is not for another hour and the bar to my left is looking mighty inviting.

Hope you are all well. I’m rather knackered.

Must dash.

Last night was going to be the first night in ages I was around the house when my house mates were awake. But that all changed when Lucy (bugger, secret’s out now) emailed and asked if I wanted to go for a drive to Mornington with her.

This would actually mean we drive to Mornington and I entertain myself for three hours whilst she is at a rehearsal but I jumped at the chance to see her again as we are both busy over the upcoming long weekend.

To cut a long story short as I have to go out and pick up some last minute items for her diving trip:

• Met her at her home
• Drove to Mornington
• Said hello to some people I hadn’t seen in twenty years
• Went for a drive and a pizza and a walk and more of a drive
• Came back to the rehearsal and ran into the fianace (spelling?) of one of the guys at army who is in the show with Lucy (this world is too fricken small … frick!!!!)
• Drove back to Lucy’s and watched her pack whilst screaming my lungs out to the Robbie Williams live at the Albert Hall DVD
• Went to sleep

There you go.

Off to Queensland today … if I can poach some more wireless access I’ll write more later.
