a stitch in time

One of the perks of this job is the people we meet

So many of them have now become friends

Example:

Brett & Debbie

They’ve been coming to our shows in the UK for years now

And in that time have become great mates of ours

They’re always laughing and great fun to catch up with

.

And they always bring us pressies

Always!

This year they outdid themselves

Great wine for mum and I

that lasted all of about 20 minutes

Yummy

And Dad’s present?
A handmade picture

That Debbie made by cross stitching

It’s incredible

And it took her over 200 hours

No, that wasn’t a typo

200 FUCKING HOURS!

It’s was so labour intensive ‘cause it’s so unbelievably intricate

And Dad LOVES it

It blew him away

He gets some great stuff given to him

When we’re on tour we try to travel light

So we usually box up all our gifts and send them home

And it’s always fun to get home and unpack it all

.

But this one’s not getting sent home

Nope, too valuable Dad’s decided

So he’s thrown out 2 tracksuits, one work shirt and all his undies

So he can fit it in his suitcase

And now ‘he’s freeballing and pretty much naked’

*MOUTH VOMIT*

But he doesn’t give a shit

Because his new picture can travel everywhere with him

.

So Deb, you can take that as a huge compliment mate

For a job so well done

.

Deb’s been working on it for months

Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the unsung hero in all of this

Poor old Brett

While he didn’t actually help ‘make’ it

He’s totally suffered for Deb’s art

.

Debbie’s been so busy and engrossed in getting her picture of Dad cross stitched

Poor Brett hasn’t been laid since July

Sorry ’bout that dude!
