no more cactus

Been missing me?

Yeah,  I didn’t think so

I realised that I’ve been spending all this time on TWITTER

And farting around on FACEBOOK

That I haven’t been being a very good blogger

Sorry ’bout that peeps!

Good news though

The tour’s still going great

Three shows to go

Tonight we’re in Gladstone

It’s always a good time here

It’s a great town on the coast here in Queensland

One of things I’m looking forward to tonight, is meeting a fellow blogger

She lives with her family in Queensland, and is making the trip tonight to se the show

Her blog name is BUSH BABE

And her site is always a great read

I love going there to get a good dose of Australiana

Well written, with fantastic photography

A lot like my bog really

Except Bush Babe’s  doesn’t have dick pictures photos are well taken

There’s no sarcastic bitchiness

Or excessive use of the word fucktard

Other than that – our blogs are EXACTLY the same

Bush Babe is a top lady too, so I’m looking forward to meeting her face to face

That’s if she’s still talking to me after seeing me perform LIVE

Finger’s crossed!

Also had time this trip to catch up with another great mate of ours

Cactus

Cactus (who, when she 1st met Dad, was given a choice between the nick names KILLER or CACTUS PUBES, ’cause Dad is a nut job does that to everyone) started working with Dad over 20 years ago

When I was a kid back then touring with Dad, she was my surrogate big sister

I may, or may not have had my first cigarette & alcoholic drink (ever) with her as a kid

So it’s fair to say that she’s probably at least partly to blame for me turning into a shithead part of the reason I turned out so awesome like this

.

She’s gone on to have great success in the industry, and without going thru her whole resume, I’ll just tell you that her current project is, wait for it…

THE WIGGLES

This has led to Miss 4 to now refer to her as MY FAVOURITE AUNTY CACTUS IN THE WORLD!

So, we’ve had 2 days off on this tour

And we spent both of them with Cactus

It’s rare that we get to see mates anywhere other than at the shows when we’re touring

So to catch up TWICE, on DAYS OFF?

Man, the odds of that are….well…

Let’s just say that there’s a better chance of me fitting into a pair of my pre-baby jeans than that happening again

Which is a good thing

‘Cause as you can see by the pics

There was merriment aplenty

I mean, check mum out

2 different nights

Same hysterical face

Although none of us can seem to remember what the fuck was so funny

Cactus even offered to make the trip to Rockhampton on Saturday for the last show

To celebrate my birthday with me

And while I love her more than my laptop

My liver politely told her, to go fuck herself

child labour

I mentioned a while back on twitter that Diamond had come to the conclusion that our kitchen was too small

So he went and knocked the fucking wall out

Problem solved?

Yeah, that’d be a NO

I mean, technically it DID make the kitchen bigger

But now it had that exposed beam, insulation, dusting inhaling, half demolished look

Which I’ve never been much a fan of

So I was all, soooo, when do you think you might want to PUT THE FUCKING KITCHEN BACK TOGETHER?

OK, so I might have actually said it like that on the inside

On the outside, it sounded more like, wow babe, you’ve started already. Can’t wait to see how it turns out

And Diamond’s all, well you’re leaving soon, so it’s going to have to stay like that for a while. I can’t do it when you’re gone – I need someone to help me

And oh, how I love to help by yelling out instructions from the comfort of the couch

In all fairness though, my tradesman’s crack IS pretty impressive

It’s eerily similar to this one if you added 10 years and 30 pounds to it

I’m pretty sure that’s why he likes having me around

Anyhoo

I think he must have just remembered that it’s my birthday this weekend

And although I won’t be home until after, he’s worked out what would REALLY make a great gift

He’s always maintained that I’m really easy to buy for

Of course I am

How easy is it to shop for crotchless undies, fury steering wheel covers & gold leaf earings?

Who says I need to LIKE what I get?

Anyhooo anyhooo

He sent me thru some pics

And I seriously did big snorts and had sprite come out my nose when I saw them

(FYI sprite out the nose BURNS like a mofo)

He’s got the KIDS helping him

Measuring, up on the ladders

Miss 6 looks like she’s right at home

Enjoying herself even

Miss 4 again proves that she’s mine, all mine

With a face like a busted arsehole sour puss

Looking very unamused at being forced into child labour

I almost for bad for them

But if it means getting my kitchen put back together?

Then they need to suck it the fuck up
