Just got back from the taping of the Randling Grand Final.

I am not permitted to say anything about it (well, except maybe that the warm up guy was a friend of mine.)



But I will say - go and watch it. It starts tomorrow 8:30 on the ABC and is very much a show in the style of QI (but with obvious scoring.)

And someone will have to record the grand final with me in the audience, as we'll be in England at the time (in October.)

Mainly because nothing much has happened of import - it's all about to happen.

In summary:

- My brother is getting married for the second time in June. His fiancee is his old childhood sweetheart (I think I met her at his 21st birthday) so we'll be going down to Canberra for that weekend, but it will be all family business, so I'll doubt we'll get the chance to catch up with anyone (unless you want to meet us at the Bus Exchange Markets on the Sunday.)

- Tweatre is on hiatus at the moment. We got great reviews in Adelaide but minimal audience, and the show needs to be worked on more. We're checking out venues in Sydney at the moment, hoping to run it on a weekly basis. More news when we've nailed a home down.

- We're spending our 10th Wedding Anniversary in Paris this year and moving on to London during September/October. We have our London accommodation and flights booked but still need to work out where we are staying in Paris. All suggestions gratefully received.

- I saw my old friend Shane Dundas' stand up show on Friday night. (He's one half of the Umbilical Brothers - the other half, David, was in the audience and we hope to catch his show next week.) Shane's show "Believe" will be on in Canberra from the 4th of May so you can catch it then.

At the end of the show Shane started doing a Rolf Harris impression with the white board he was using (he's a talented cartoonist, so I was hoped he was going to do it DURING the show) so I just had to take my jumper off so he could see the t-shirt I was wearing



- I'm off to the Randling grand final on Tuesday (the audience, that is.) It will be weird to be in the studio audience for the final episode of a show that hasn't aired yet. No spoilers.

So how are things with you?
