In which the health gremlins are not done with me yet...

 We went to see Sisters of Mercy last Sunday night. We have had the tickets for months, but the closer the night got the more I started getting the 'I'm getting too old for this shit' jitters. I mean - going out on a Sunday when there's work the next day and kids to get to school; loud rock music when the ears have lost their youthful resilience. But we went. And it was really, really good. 

And then the next day I got really sick. As best as I can tell it seems to be a combination of irritation from overuse of the smoke machine at the concert, on top of existing hayfever inflammation and a cold that Liam had a few days before and my upper respiratory tract went a bit nuts. So here I am a week later flat on my back on the couch, stuffed full of steroids and antibiotics and feeling like I've been run over by a steamroller. Yay.

Hope you feel better soon

I really must pay more attention to music gigs, especially the larger acts. Too often I find out about their shows as they are winging away from Australia (although I'm probably not as ready to dash off to Melbourne to see a show as I used to be).

Oh well.

According to one of my staff there, they are playing in Brisbane this weekend, if you really want to dash across the country and see them :-)

What sane person would want to go to Brisbane? Or insane person for that matter (and more to the point). <shudder>

Still, it's better than Darwin, one must admit.
