Hello,
We did try and do a quick update after the guilty pleasures thing but the wierd ass computer in The Internet Shack wouldn't let us.
The Internet Shack is in the caravan park where we are currently living. I know, Alex thinks it's trashy to live in a caravan park, but it's strictly temporary. Basically, in a week's time Dave is going to Edinburgh and vacating his large air conditioned apartment with a pool and a view of the river, and where the Dockside office is, and so we are going to live there for 3 weeks and save up lots of lovely money for going to Tasmania when he gets back. Ideally we'll move into a place when we get back from Tasmania, saving ourselves about a grand in rent. Tomorrow we'll be staying in the comedian's apartment for 3 nights, between there being comedians in it (the current lot leave tomorrow and we don't get new ones til Wednesday) then back to the caravan park for a few nights.
The caravan park is basically the cheapest alternative for short-term accomodation. For $40 a night we could get two beds in a 22-bed dorm in a smelly hostel, or we could have our own caravan with our own bed and a table and a fridge and cooker and space, and right near the bus and train! So we went for that. It's the same place we lived when we lived in Humphrey back in October, but Humphrey is terribly hot and small (not that we don't love him) and now we can afford a wee bit more. Humphrey will however be well used in our big trip to Tassie. You can camp for free there, and we'll hire a car and drive him around and make sure he's just fine. Don't worry Sian.
Well, Dave just called to inform me that the people who own the actual venue where we run the comedy have called up and told him he can't have the room tonight as there's a wedding on. This happens occasionally but normally we know a couple of months beforehand and don't book people in. Tonight we have 185 people booked in and an alternative room offered which seats 100 max. I have to go to work now!! Bugger.
Will write again soon.
