Lovely list of music. I would leave the cobwebs. They catch flies like nothing else will. Remember the sticky fly papers that we used to decorate our ceilings with? We did not remove them before they were black with the bodies of dead flies. Cob webs work the same way.

The flies here are too smart for that ! It looks so untidy. This particular decobweb job is the lead up to cleaning the windows.

Black Sorrows of course.
Reward for having done that shit of a job of decobwebbing the house, dealing with wasp nests and spiders falling from under the verandahs. Come 5 pm and some refreshment other than rain water. Tacos for dinner – I’ll groove over to the stove and get something started.

I’ve piked out from the Barnsey, Mossy, Richard Clapton do here next week. Realised it was a very very big gig – outdoors and standing and I think half of Albury-Wodonga will be there (thousands anyway!) – starts at 4.30 and goes through to near midnight. I just couldn’t stand up for that long. I’m cranky with myself but the reality is that I couldn’t last the distance.

You could always sit but I’m with you with the standing.

Oddly enough I used to recall the 80s music as not being too hot – thinking more of the 60s and 70s stuff. On reflection there was a lot of bloody good stuff, especially Australian. It all stacks up very well. Of course Midnight Oil always saved the day for me in the ooomph department.

The Lord Nelson, what a fine old pub, one of the oldest in Australia, plus they do a great brew. Granny and Merv would be envious!

Said to be the oldest ‘continually licensed’ pub, established 1841. Of course there were many pubs before and some are either still standing but not a pub, or might now be licensed. In the beginning there was no licence required. I’ve been doing some homework.

Mrs M and I met up with some of her old nursing friends there, last year. Downstairs has a great, ‘old-fashioned pub’ atmosphere, with copper vats in the background, etc. Upstairs has a restaurant with the most overpriced wine list I’ve seen in my life!
LikeLike
I work near The Rock. If you walk north of where I work then you leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. If you walk to the east for about the same distance then you’re in George Street, totally different feel. Been a while since I’ve had a Terry Deer there, though I remember it being expensive.

Yes, the beer’s dear, but the wine list in the restaurant is out of this world!

Don’t think I ever had a beer there. I worked just up from the Opera house and we used to go to the First and Last – I think all demolished now with that redevelopment and the toaster etc. Is the Island Trader still there – I nearly always had their whole sole, cole-slaw and chips and carafe of wine (shared the wine).

I’m grateful the the pub’s in Newcastle have started to take food seriously…one can have a decent lunch or dinner with a few sherbets for a decent price. Not like the old beer gardens where one used to cook one’s own steak on the barby!

So now I find myself checking out the Models and looking at Mark Ferrie and James Valentine’s involvement and how they looked back in the 80s. The music is so good and I just wonder at that and what we have now (which ain’t nearly as good).
LikeLike
James Valentine is quite on his time with the Models. I agree it was a golden period in Australian music. There are some great more modern acts about.

I remember James well when he first did some TV stuff (not in the band) and of course now watching Exhumed.
