3 loads of washing

yep. 3 loads of washing is what you get when you camp in the rain. we're at a laundromat near home, and have realised one of the really good things about melbourne is the coffee. there's a great cafe near home that sells really good coffee and biscuits, quite cheaply.

before i rant and rave about how amazing kate is, i feel it is vital to inform everyone of yesterday's adventure:

EXTREME SIGHT SEEING!

This involves driving alone the great ocean road, stopping at each tourist site, getting out of the car and running (literally) to lookouts and taking photos for 2 minutes, then running (again, literally) back to the car, before bolting to the next one.

we managed to see everything we wanted to see - although scotty and liz refused to let me go to the national wool museum, which irked me considerably. what's the point of sight seeing without wool, i ask you?

anyway, we managed to do all this and still get scott to the airport early enough to have a drink with the others before the plane left. for once, liz and i both got to be passengers and see the sights because we were being chauffeured by scotty, which was wonderfully decadent for us. cheers scotty!

on the way to port fairy we drove with our delicious Em, and girly gossiped the whole time. well, the whole time we weren't singing tragic 80s songs, at least.

anyway, i know this is all out of order, but you'll work it out. Kate's cd sales were awesome - on the first day, at her first gig, we only had 100 cds ready for sale. we sold out in 5 minutes. overall, liz and i sold about 350 cds for her, plus what she sold at the shop.

yay kate!

everyone was raving about her and calling her the "find of the festival" to which we said, "yes, we know".

actually, liz and i seemed to be getting quite well known ourselves by the end because we wore tiaras to all her gigs so people could find us easily to buy cds. we were known as the "tiara girls".

the festival itself was awesome but weird. lots of rules (you had to bring your own chair, and if it was higher than 35cm you had to sit at the back. we took a sarong and always sat at the front, or backstage). the coffee was truly shit, but the company was excellent. no dancing though - weird.

at some of kate's gigs liz and i would be dancing in our tiaras at the side of the audience, while everyone else sat still. luckily for kate, they showed their appreciation financially.

our next mission is to get the transport boys and em's sales to the same level - it can be done!
