annoying week it was. Thank God it’s Friday. I’ve had enough of the car repairs, the wars and the shitty weather. I feel like I need a vacation from all of it. Where to go, what to do? I dunno. I need a vacation from this weather. Next week it’s going to be very hot and humid. I don’t like it at all. It reminds me of Sydney weather in the summertime. I didn’t like that at all. At least the truck is fixed now. That took three days to complete. They don’t make Explorers like they used to. I don’t think I’ll be buying another one anytime soon.
There was no band practice this week. Ricky was “moving stuff”, Jon was driving a bus or something. I don’t know. I’m on my own with all this. When it’s working it’s great, but when it’s herding cats time, it’s not.
At the beginning of the week I decided to uncover a stained glass window that was on the front the the house. The previous owner had boarded it up because he said someone had either shot a hole in it or thrown a stone through it. I can’t remember exactly what he said, but it has been hidden under a piece of tin for the past 60 years. It’s quite nice to look at even with the damaged part visible. It hasn’t been seen for the last 70 years or more.
Whoever the asshole was who broke it, I curse them. What kind of shit head would do such a thing? Fuck them. I could probably fix it myself, but have to take the whole thing out, frame and all. I was watching some dude on Youtube repairing some old stained glass. He made it look easy, there isn’t any black art to it, you just have to be patient and take your time. There are two more stained glass windows from around the front door that I found in the basement under the stairs. They too, need fixing and they are in much worse shape than the one I just revealed.
While I’m writing this I’m getting texts from Gazza, aka Gary the bass player. He sends me memes, some of which are funny and some of which are annoying. I’ve just been told he’s getting on an earlier bus…Things I don’t really need to know. Thanks Gaz. Fairly soon we’ll have to take a drive down to this particular supermarket near where he lives. It’s the only place that I know anywhere for miles around that sells Vegemite.
It’s 8 dollars a jar, but sometimes you just feel like having some. What am I doing this weekend? Trying to stay cool and not doing much I would expect.
The weekend is here as far as I’m concerned. Trump hasn’t started bombing Iran, so that’s a good thing. It’s all we can ask for at the moment.
Happy Friday
I posted this yesterday, It’s worth another look. I will upload more next week, so nobody has to go to Youtube again.
Friday Bonus audio track – the band’s bassplayer, Jon has recorded a version of “Close to You”. If Trump doesn’t go to war in two weeks (which I hope he doesn’t) we can always beat them into surrender by playing this non stop over their state media. The horror of this is unspeakable.
