Nearly 3 weeks ago we'd just finished our first proper tour. I was lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself while eating junk and catching up on Big Brother while everyone else went back to their jobs. It was only a small tour but..boy did it drag! Of course not! It wizzed by! We had a lorra lorra laughs! Pictish & Rozi (& her band) were such great fun to hang out with. We'd love to do another tour. Let's do another tour! It'll happen again soon i'm sure. Like with most things we seem to do, it takes a few weeks to recover and blog the photos, videos, etc. I'd love to go into great detail about the tour but i won't because it'll bore me and it'll no doubt bore you. Plus i don't think it's a good thing telling everyone everything!..i can't believe i just said that. It's really hard remembering everything as well. I enjoyed doing the tour diary on Twitter..thats the way forward! short simple facts, instant bubbles of guff, snapshots of what's happening at that very point, rather than this, which is basically me dragging out an excuse as to why there's no proper tour diary (see below for a link to my tour tweets). I think the best thing for any OLO fan (if there are any out there!?) to do would be to have a look at the holiday snaps and the 4 videos that are linked below. Deal!? OK.
