Who said being Unemployed wasn't fun

I'm currently watching my mama clean the kitchen.

I get to do fun stuff like watch day time tele, there's nothing more entertaining that seeing a friends episode you've seen at least four hundred times before.

When I have petrol money I get to drive around for a bit. Run some errands.

I can take daily naps, especially when everyones at work.

Bad Writers Ink

Going to start writing 'Skeggs and Suze' today, a sitcom based on true events and people I found via facebook.

Was inspired to write about being normal, when I saw two children shout at a girl "You're so weird!"

I hate children.

Need to write a piece about a celebrity for an internship I'm applying for however don't know who to choose!?

Sunday of Sorting

I still haven't unpacked from tour, which ended three weeks ago.

I need to sort my shit out.

Newcastle

It is always nice to be in Newcastle, as our Mum lived there from the age of three upwards; and we have too many family memories there to count. We all woke up pretty late, and after ringing around to sort out a few people coming to the show; I wandered off to the shops whilst Kate did some press and promo. As we came out of the venue we bumped into Elliott and Brett who had just spotted Professor Green in the café down the road.

I love shopping in Newcastle, it’s like a cleaner and less busy London!

After buying a particularly furry bag and an unnecessary ring watch, I met up with Kate, Ryan, Alicia, and Jay and Zack from Brigitte Aphrodite and the VOBs, for lunch in Mark Tony’s for ice cream! Not the healthiest of dinners however it did the trick for brightening everyone’s day.

Whilst Sister Lovers were showering, Ryan may have walked in on their driver: Damien “Bazil” O’Reilly, who had completely forgotten to lock the door and he caught a full shot of Bazil’s bits!

The gig went really well, except for some idiot throwing a drink at Brigitte whilst she was playing, although she handled it in the best way possible, “Is that piss?! Cause I love piss!”

Kate said it had been the best gig of all the tour, and the audience were all so pretty! So we went outside after the gig and got loads of photos with everybody. Once bus call went, Sol whacked out his brand new pack of cards and everyone got their poker face on.

Manchester

Manchester was so much fun, we had the best night out after the gig. As we have friends who live up there they organised an after show party in Night and Day which lasted til around two. Everyone came down after the show and had drinks including all of Sister Lovers, Brigitte and the VOBs and Jay Malhotra; which some of you will notice is no longer playing with the band but luckily he came up to Manchester and played with four tracks!

Once we left Night and Day we wandered the streets of Manchester for about half an hour; it was a Tuesday night so there wasn’t much going on. Luckily we heard the out of tune attempt at a power ballad as we walked past a dark side street and found a karaoke bar, this is where we stayed until 4! Everyone belting out ridiculous tunes, with the odd local doing their “usual” in between. Kate covered Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, Ryan sang Craig David’s 7 Days and Peter Andre’s Mysterious Girl. Then Brigitte’s friend/stylist did the most amazing karaoke of Wuthering Heights with Bri and “Little Pixie” Zack accompanying as backing dancers. Then Kate and Bri covered Saturday Night.

Dublin

Apologies for the lateness of the blog, however in every venue there has been internet difficulties however today its all shiny and working!

Dublin was so much fun, even though most of the band and crew were suffering with colds (which have no passed onto me, everyone is avoiding breathing in Kate's direction to keep her voice safe!) everyone still had an amazing time.

The gig was soo much fun, we had a lot of family there alongside all of Sister Lovers gang, as this was their hometown gig. Everyone got down early which is the advice on this tour as there are TWO support acts! Remember that for the next couple of gigs.

We had a day off after the gig, so we all partied it up in Whelan's on the Sunday night with friends of Ryan's. After about 3am I could feel my cold coming on so I had to retire to my bed, however everyone else partied up til the early hours of the morning in Kate and Ryan's hotel room.

On our day off, Kate had to get up early and do a day of radio interviews and promo so once she got back she practically dropped into bed, so there wasn't much wondering around Dublin as we would have liked!
