Buskin' & Booze

To answer all the comments:

Sometimes I get frustrated.
Sometimes when I get frustrated, I do the opposite to what I should.

When the doc said, 'Don't drink on these'
I didn't.

But with yesterday finding me not much better, and heading towards the end of my tabs, I said feck this, I'm not sitting around my favourite beers any longer, while other people get to enjoy them and I don't.

So I had some Coopers, and some spicy Thai dish, which probably wasn't recommended either.

I feel better now.

My leg looks better.

The swelling is going down.

I'm so glad I went against orders! :)

I put it down to spices and alcohol cleansing the infection.
Try it folks.

I called out to a friends house, which turned out to me another friends house too, we played trad for about 5 hours I'd say.
Left to right: Amy Fiddle, JP Fiddle, Leueen Fiddle, Evan Flute & Christian Flute.

Man I love the trad over here. It's how I've met all the greatest people in Melbourne.
Myself and JP Fiddle went busking for a short while today. It's not as good as home for general busking. The buskers here get dressed up, usually on stilts or crates, and have speakers and all sorts of gadgets. So two Irish fellas with just instruments was probably boring. We still managed $45 despite not being in busy areas, so we were happy enough.

Twas on up the the library afterwards:

JP reminded me about the free net service, but it turned out I'd have to deposit my guitar and bag, for a fee, in a locker beforehand. So I left JP to it, and came down here to the corner of Elizabeth & Flinders to type to y'all!

The last session of my trip in Melbourne is tonight, looking forward to it, will be meeting some more of the tradheads from when I lived here before.

Sweet!

Following the adventures with interest, anyway. Yasmin
