Melbourne Weekend

A Birthday and a Going Away Party.

Both Andy and Mitch have a great bunch of friends and they all feel at home with us.
Mum and Dad to the left, Mitch beside Mum and leaning to the right. Andrew is in the tie-dyed T-shirt.
Most likely something he won't have a lot of use in London. It's predicted to be 0 degrees and snowing.

Our youngest, Mitchell James turned 25 this week and Andrew Cameron now 27 returned to London this Sunday to resume studies for the final year of his PhD. The boys also had a reunion gig with their old band, In Tongues.

They played to a booked out venue on Friday night with many disappointed people being turned away at the door. Having seen some of the footage (it was recorded), it seemed like an outrageous night.
So that those who missed out among their friends and of course us, Mum and Dad, we set up the equipment in the backyard. A couple of their Musco friends joined in for an impromptu jam session - a great night it was.

Both our sons also play in other bands but In Tongues is the main one. Andrew plays a different genre of Music with his mate Lloyd (below photo) and Mitch fills in with a couple of other bands while In Tongues is in recess.

Andrew and Lloyd recorded a few tracks and this is the cover photo.
Just a couple of Dandies.

I must admit that my head was not wanting to lift from the pillow this morning but we did need to get Andrew to the airport for his flight back to London. Naturally we'll miss him but there's great experiences and opportunities out there on the international arena.

Sue is calling me for dinner so I must go but I'm sure she will keep me awake tonight by following Andrew's flight path on her iPad. Oh, yes and there's a new series of Australian Master Chef starting tonight as well - that should help to take her mind off Andrew's empty bedroom for a little while.

See you on Wednesday for the next post on our 2010 France escapade.
