I'd love too, but its a struggle getting cash sorted for this trip. I have no idea how long I'll be there - my workplace won't hold my job open longer than a month maybe. I could be waiting for miq for longer.

Can you work remotely?

Me and my boss are happy to do that, People & Capability have different guidelines, they may be a bit more flexible but I don't know yet. If not, fuck them. Bloods thicker than water.

Ah bugger, not good. Having all my family in the UK and parents with health issues I'm expecting something along those lines coming up, but being on the other side of the world definitely makes it hard.

I hope something works out for you.

It shouldn't be unexpected, the old fella is in his 90's but he was really good until recently - the decline is shocking. They're both so bloody obstinate too - I've found out much more than they've said, about falls and all sorts of things. "Oh, we'll get by..."

Its really just the covid thing thats really fucked everything up. Prior that, I'd have been on a plane within 24 hours at the first inkling something was wrong.

I didn't want to turn this into a poor me thread, I'll get by.....

Missus is staying put, cats to look after etc. So who knows how long before I'm back. She'll probably sell the house and leave no forwarding address.

It's not a poor me thread. This forum is more than just a place to talk about pedals, pickups, amps and guitars, it's also a place to talk about stuff when it's getting on top of you, with people who care. Which we do.

If you come along to the gearfest I'll even let you stroke my beard again, which I know you love doing.

I love your beard feels, none of that girlie oil thing

Well, lockdown is taking care of this one

So glad I had an impromptu super mini gearfest today. Both acoustic and electric. Yes, two is a crowd

I have a photo, but publication would require a release.

Nothing so exciting that it breaks the Covid spell... Both of these have had their neck reset and reattached like a Collins or Tayler more or less...

Bump. Hoping we're allowed a gearfest by late November. I'm bloody fizzing for one, in any case.

Never been, but would be keen to attend the next one.
