Re: Which city?

Re: Which city?

3 shows! I envy you. I'm considering trying to get tickets for a London show too. And possibly for the concert in Spain on Angus's birthday.

Re: Which city?

I'm under no illusions that there'll be things I hate in Oz. Still it's helpful to be reminded of this I admit. I'm not a beach person at all so I don't dream of living a Neighbours/Home and Away...

I know, still it's nice to look at the pics.
