Troops,
Right, well here we are in Byron Bay. So far it has been raining most of the time so unfortunately, a fair bit of recording and studio time has interrupted what was supposed to be a golf/ surfing holiday. So we are in the studio working hard and waiting for the weather to break.
The most interesting and exciting thing that has happened so far is that our accommodation was 'almost' washed into the ocean. There was talk of SES evacuation plans and all sorts of amazing stuff. There have been excavators blinking, grunting and beeping day and night, filling sand bags and generally making hapless attempts to hold back the king tides that have swamped the coast these last few nights. We have armed ourselves with an EPIRBs and a surf mats in case in case our oceanside mansions are washed away in the dead of night.
Speaking of surf mats......................Cogs, DZ and Hoggy all went for a surf this morning. Cogs reports that he was 'in the green room in a wave of consequence'. He also claimed that he and Hoggy 'dominated Darius "Brizzo" Middleton while they were out there.
The second most interesting thing that happened was that JC and I both wore the same jacket to the studio on the same day. It was SO embarrassing. Luckily the paparazzi were busy shooting Cogs, Darius and Hog waxing their surfmats, to catch us in such a sartorial dilemma.
Tomorrow is "Gentleman's Friday" which is designed to improve our standard of dress, once a week, while we make our record. I will report soon about the outcome. I have especially bought a tartan green number which I am expecting will set a benchmark for the rest of the album session.
Oh yeah, and Nick Didia is back at the helm and doing a fabulous job.
OK, see you all soon.

Glad to hear life's progressing well enough up there!
And you guys should really ring around to see what each other is wearing before you come in each morning. It would save a lot of potential embarrassment.
Nice to see you taking some time off from your "golfing holiday" to speak to your peeps.
I hope we are going to see some "Gentlemen's Friday" photographic evidence on the website. You know we love to critique band members fashion sense (or lack thereof).
Speaking of fashion faux pas...Did you made JC run back to his room to change; or did you lose paper/rock/scissors? haha.
Seeing as it's raining buckets down there, I'll send you some floaties just in case your waterside mansions get washed out. I'm so considerate.
See ya Boof

Gold star, Liz.
Bit of action makes for good inspiration, but please stay dry!
:-/
EPIRB's...Edible Panties In Resealable Bags..Just the thing for anyone's survival ;p
maybe they were a batch of factory seconds that were dumped in the op-shops bin?
On the styling issue - is there any truth in the rumour that Bruno is en route to Byron Bay...?
Oh lordy if Bruno makes it to Byron while the boys are there he may try to introduce bleaching into Gentlemen's Friday.
I heard a snippet of Drag's "Long Way Home" on channel 9 tonight. I hope Darius is collecting his royalties so he can afford to wax his board (or whatever Bruno suggests requires waxing).
First new promo photo has them decked out in Bruno's microshorts. oh wait, I think I've just freaked out my mind's eye. I may just have to go back to perving... I mean watching Federer.
