it's raining, it's pouring

and I mean a lot of rain. hopefully some of it will find its way into our thirsty water catchment areas and dams. this is a pretty dry country at the best of times, and a five year drought, combined with global warming and a hole in the ozone the size of alaska directly overhead ain't a good combo.

had a fun sunday session yesterday with mick neville fetch, who finally made it after a couple of false starts last year. his new dvd, live at the duke is out now, I appear in a couple of songs. not sure about sales info, but a few tracks are probably on youtube, I'll have a look.

my daughter headed off for a three day school camp this morning. she seems to be really enjoying her new school, and city life in general, which I'm happy about. the rose is now at her new school as well, it seems to suit her needs this year, and the gypsy gal's begun her new job. so back to routine, I hope.

anyone who knew me in my brief tenure in the country knows how often I manage to get involved in community / charity events. the city's proved no different, as I've just come onboard the exec committee fot the 2nd annual acoustica festival, held here in balmain in april. question for annii, pinny &/or shawree - how do you folks manage on so little sleep? I'm gonna need some pointers, me fears...

anyone bother watching that debacle known as the grammys? not I. but I read that jon bon jovi, of all people, won an award in the country category? wtf is up with that?
