Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

We may have daffodils, lambs and lovely sunny days but winter hasn't admitted defeated just yet.

Torrential rain over the weekend that my veges loved and more today. Had snow down to 400m on the mountain so we're back to looking like a postcard.

My favourite view from work is standing at the photocopier of all places looking out the window with crackly handblown glass onto the mountain which is beautiful on any given day.

I keep meaning to take a photo of it and keep forgetting. I must post one, it's a beautiful view.

Sick

I'm sick of:
Being sick
Having people laugh at me because I'm sick
Having to blow my nose 50 million time during the night
Waking up and having my entire head blocked up until 10am
My voice deciding it suddenly doesn't want to work
Not being able to go to the gym
Not being able to eat proper meals

But on the bright side this is the best cold I've had for awhile, no aches, no pains and I don't generally feel like shit :)

INXS

Is there a group of men over forty in Australia that are any sexier than the blokes in INXS (bar JD)?

I saw them on Saturday and they are amazing. I love their music and like their new stuff and had been looking forward to it for months. JD Fortune was pretty hot in the clip for Pretty Vegas so was certainly looking forward to him!

The show was fastastic. They were supported by The Dead Abigals, a great Hobart band who are doing really well for themselves. Our seats were 4 rows back and smack bang in the centre. 5 mins before they came on a countdown came up on the stage and sent everyone nuts. The crowd was exactly how everyone predicted - in our row to my left there was a man in his late 50's and on my right a 10 odd y/o girl (now doubt there because she has JD Fortune posters on her wall!).

If JD Fortune hadn't won RockStar he could have easily become a stripper instead. Within 1 minute on stage his shirt was unbuttoned and the tie was starting to come off. Within 2 minutes I didn't want to touch him with a barge pole and even now cannot think of anything remotely attractive about him. Great voice, seems to fit well with the guys, brilliant performer but all over himself. He spent most of the show with either his hand on his crotch or down his trousers. And doing freaky jolty things with his fingers and jumping up and down. Very strange.

The remainder are incredible musicians and I would love to see them perform without JD.
