Next to my Jeff Lang book, also at Melbourne airport, since May 10
Lockdown found me gardening. Ordered some plants from Tauranga that were shipped on the 4th. Still no sign. Not that there will be anything remotely alive left to deliver.

I should add I guess I’m not a good gardener. The plants I did get and plant aren’t doing that great either!

Conversely, ordered a new PS4 controller from Mighty Ape 2 days ago and it got here this afternoon. Basically 48 hours when the target was 3-8 days.

You have to put them in the ground with the green side up. This is important.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I just put them in the ground and hoped for the best. the best is apparently a flourishing weed garden. Not the smokable weed mind.

On the flip-side, the IRT-X from Tony arrived, overnight - so not "in the mail", but at home waiting to be rocked!

I have a feeling those parcels that look like they are stuck abroad are probably sitting in Auckland awaiting the next update.

My daughter ordered some clothes from AU on the 5th April, they arrived yesterday. The tracking still showed them being stuck in AU until they were delivered.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Keeley Caverns 2 reverb / delay. The /13 and 65Amps are crying out for reverb.

Thanks RS Dave.

I see your Keeley Caverns and raise you a Neunaber Immerse. Hopefully it'll make it here from the USA before the end of the year.

I should call this guitar 'Boomerang'. Actually forgotten how many times I've bought it back but I think it's maybe five. Four or five... This time it's a keeper... :roll:

It's a late 90s PRS McCarty. I first bought it 'new old stock' from Rockshop about five years ago. I think half the forum's owned it since then.
