I'm bedridden (unfortunately not being ridden in bed, or maybe fortunately, as I'd probably pass out or something)
so it looks like my evening of being dressed as a king prawn will NOT go ahead. Which is a shame. Apart from the whole not-having-to-endure-Walkabout thing. How has today been treating you?

Oh dear. That doesn't sound so good. (I was looking forward to seeing photographic evidence of this prawn costume...)
My day's been alright by comparison. Yes, I slept poorly (I think I was repeatedly awoken by the deafening flatulence of the drunken gastropod asleep on my floor) and I had to make a heartbreaking decision between seeing Hawkwind on Friday or John Crampton on Saturday. But I'm plodding on ok today. Plus they let me sing at the blues jam last night, so I think I'm still on a bit of a high from that.

Did you not let him into your bed? You could have spooned!
Is it lack of funds that's preventing you from going to both? That's a shame. Which one did you go with in the end?

Glad to hear about the singing, though. I don't know, I might be able to make it out of bed but going to an Australian themed club that will be packed full of SPORTSpeople and drunks does not really appeal. Ideally I would have a roaring fire and a bottle of gin, but, you know. Life goes on -swigs milk-

We could have. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the bed wouldn't be able to cope with our combined weights.
Unfortunately it's a lack of time that prevents me from doing both. One of my bands is pestering me for a rehearsal on Friday night, Saturday night or sometime next week. As I'm away next week, I chose Friday. I know Crampton will be good and will be in my old local, whereas Hawkwind will actually just be "Dave Brock and cronies."

And yeah, I think even if I were at the peak of my health and in a phenomenally good mood, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near a bar/club full of drunk sports-types.

But then you could have made a nest for yourselves inamongst the shattered springs of the bed, in the path of so many bumders before you.
Oh, I see. That's a real shame, and I imagine this is one of the bands you enjoy. And on that note enjoy Crampton, too. I have not heard or heard of him but I'm sure you'll have fun.

Though everything would seem so much better seen through the beady eyes of a prawn...
