Ever since Dad’s been coming to the UK & Ireland

Anne’s been working with him

Through many changes, different people, different locations

Anne’s been the one constant

22 years it’s been for fuck’s sake

Shit, that’s a long time

She does everything over here for us

She runs Auslink, which is Dad’s UK office

Handles of all the merchandising

Accomodations, car hire

You name it, Anne takes care of it

I know there’s a million things she does that we don’t even know about

She just get’s it done

But more than all the stuff that Anne does

Is who she is

She’s a great friend to us

And an amazing lady

Her and Dick, her husband, are our family over here

They help to keep it all running smoothly and keep us on track

I know we come into the country for these tours like a tornado

Reeking havoc and leaving a trail of distruction

And Anne doesn’t bat an eyelid

We love her

And while we’re all so excited to being going home soon

It means saying goodbye

She’ll cry

Mum will cry

Dad will look at them like their fucking idiots

She’ll give me one of her famous bear hugs

And as we walk away

She’ll be thinking thank God those little Aussie fuckers have gone back to work, planning the next tour

Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts Annie

Love you x

I’ve been quite the tourist since I’ve been in Ireland

I’m possibly taking even MORE photos than normal

Here’s some of my faves so far

Paging Uncle Pervey!

With Paul, our most excellent tour bus driver, and all ’round top bloke

Mum & Anne, on the bus, checking out the newest video blog

Daz & Dave, who we’ve worked out on this trip, might just be brothers from another mother

This is the look of a man who can finally trust a sneeze

Bus food – looks like shit, tastes surprisingly yummy

And lastly, with Michelle & Johnny after last night’s show in Dublin

Michelle’s Dad, Kevin, used to play in the band with Dad years ago in Kalgoorlie

Apparently if your name’s Kevin

And you’re from Kalgoorlie

And you’re a musician

And you have a daughter

She’ll turn out to be cute and blonde

Or so I’ve heard

There’s so much I don’t remember about Ireland

I mean, there’s a lot I do remember

But a lot of my last trip here is a blur

And I just realised why

I was up the duff pregnant

And just about to pop

And hadn’t had a drink in 8 months

And no doubt a bitch on wheels such a joy to be around

Looking forward to remembering this trip a little better

.

Does that mean I should stop drinking then?

fuck that!

There’s probably worse ways to die

But I can’t think of any
