We're moving back to Adelaide in 2 weeks, so opportunities for social faux pas should increase exponentially!

Despite the promising potential of Saturday, I failed to commit any major faux pas either in the afternoon, or at Radz' gig that night. The best I could manage was when Radz pulled out a 96 page exercise book full of his handwritten set lists and I asked him if it was his thesis. That was pretty dumb ( Read more... )

Rory hits individual keys on the piano for the first time while I fail to get beyond the C major scale ( Read more... )
