I got to play Sheik Yerbouti at work.
Unfortunately the home situation has been much lately, with the works. Today we got new French doors, which meant that 1,5m behind the doors had to be
cleared of all furniture and junk. Of course that'the place where Dad slept since his stint at the hospital last year. So past weekend and yesterday I
cleared out the spare bedroom (that was my office but that had never really got clean since the 2010 deaths of my grandmother and great aunt).
After that I could move one of the closets to the other side to make room for Dad's bed, then move my desk to the attic to make a workspace for Dad,
then move the desk chair to the ground floor, move the ground floor desk chair to the attic for that work space, and then move Dad's bed upstairs. Of
course since Dad has like no muscle strength or oxygen left, I could do it all myself. Consequently I'm exhausted to the point I left work early.
So now I'm listening to the rest of Sheik Yerbouti.
The AIVD puzzle has been released , so that's what I'll be doing the next month.

Sheik Yerbouti is good stuff, sounds like a lot of hard work at your place.

My dad is an Eddy but I don't think Flo and Eddie would be his jam.. He is aware of Eddie Are You Kidding though, immortalised in one of the finest

Bonny, Kat and I have been doing musical furniture around the palace for several weekends. Kat bought all new furniture for the spare room and between
building that and merging and moving two houses of stuff around and stuff from the room and garage to storage it has absorbed some time.
Conclusion we have way to much stuff and need to have a yard sale come spring.
The dresser I am scheduled to assemble today is Ikea on steroids, I checked out the directions and the number of parts and mass quantities was
astounding.
As to Sheik Yerbouti it was the first Zappa concert I saw on Nov 20th 1977 at the UCLA Pauley Pavilion with my skater bud Ron (RIP).
It was a Saturday and this band comes out of all young guys bouncing around, we thought it was a Punk Rock Band opening act, it was the intro!
Then Frank came out and the crowd went nuts, we were very close in the riser next to the stage on the left the side where he was posted up.
We heard a lot of music we never heard before because Sheik Yerbouti came out over a year latter but when he played the guitar it blew us away.
We new he was good and I had seen some great guitar players but I told Ron he was the best I ever heard or saw hands down and Ron agreed.
Here is the set list I found:
Intro
(excerpts from "Knick Knack People" (through PA system) and "The Purple Lagoon" theme)
Peaches en Regalia
The Torture Never Stops
Tryin' to Grow a Chin
City of Tiny Lites
A Pound for a Brown on the Bus (The Mothers of Invention song)
Bobby Brown
Conehead
Flakes
Big Leg Emma (The Mothers of Invention song)
Envelopes
Disco Boy
I Promise Not to Come in Your Mouth
Wild Love
Titties 'n Beer
The Black Page
Jones Crusher
Broken Hearts Are for Assholes
Punky's Whips
Dinah-Moe Humm
Camarillo Brillo
Muffin Man (Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart cover)
San Ber'dino
Black Napkins

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Our lives have been pretty crazy since August 20th. Our last holiday in UK/Europe was July 5th to August 10th this
year. Didn't mention it before Bonny because we weren't able to come via Eindhoven this time. We had a great time at Zappanale again (except for the
horrendous drive from Hook Of Holland to Hamburg - normally due to arrive around 4pm but dragged out until after 6pm).
Just before we went away we found a lovely place on Zoopla, in Husbands Bosworth, which we viewed three times while in England. As we were getting
ready to come back to OZ, we booked a top level building inspection for August 20th, ten days after we got back. We got a positive recommendation,
made an offer which was accepted and from then until about a week ago things have been seriously intense.
Our house settled on 19th November, and that went very well, according to plan, staying at a family member's place after the 19th. We had a flight
booked to move to England, departing November 22nd and arriving November 23rd. Around this time we discovered there was a delay in the settlement of
the house we're buying. Our long term plan involved buying a motorhome in February next year ... screech!!! ... somehow managed to arrange buying one
before we got there and have been living in it since - more than three weeks now on the road. Settlement is at the end of January, if there are no
further delays.
Final complication? Because we found the perfect house unexpectedly (as perfect as they get in reality), after looking for about five years, we've
ended up coming here before our youngest son's wedding in January - so we're back in OZ for Xmas and New Year. We've organised secure storage for the
van while we're away, so we're finally pretty relaxed about it all. I'm looking forward to seeing OZ family again, but also jonesing to be settled in
our new place. Trying not to wish my life away.
Aside from some seriously stressful legal stuff that I won't go into, Julie and I have been having a pretty good time driving around England visiting
relatives and friends.

That sounds exciting and stressful!
I had enough stress on my plate, particularly when movind Dad to the top floor of the house. Luckily, the last major overhaul will be while Iḿ on
vacation.
Currenty Iḿ at BF's. He is spoiling me rotten and is taking me to the Seal Center of Pieterburen again. We'll see if I can out-noise the grey seal
pups, which are (much) noisier than the harbour seals. But theyŕe fluffy as newborns. <3

Yesterday for Zappadan I got to live out the Sheik Yerbouti song Flakes, I had been having trouble with the toilet stopping up in the master bedroom
and having to do some plunging every morning after doing my morning business...
So I called my guy, who said it was most likely a calcium build up since the commode was very old...
We decided to change out the toilet and when he pulled it there where an incredible amount of roots in the sewage pipe...
We were able to get a Rotor Company out in a few hours and he could not get the plug and wanted to get into the sewer pipe by digging a hole outside
the house (that is just asking for a huge billable $$$)...
My guy said no way lets remove the other toilet and come in from there, which they did and it worked, both porcelain thrones are back in and the shit
is flowing down hill again...
The issue is the roots must have got in through the clay pipe that goes to the city sewer system which means it is breached and that is big doings, a
future toilet goes crazy event in waiting...
I guess I better find the Flakes Extended Version to find out what I am instore for…

Awwww poor Leon!
Did I mention I'm back from vacation? BF spoiled me rotten by renting an apartment in Pieterburen for 2 nights, so I could visit the seal centre
again. Twice. And they were cute and I got lots of pictures.
As opposed to three months ago, there are now also grey seals, these are born in winter with a pretty fluffy white coat looking all adorable. A number
were blown away from their mothers during a storm about two, three weeks ago, and are now being reared with the intention to release them back into
the wild.
Seals may look adorable but they can be pretty fierce, even as as juveniles. As this lady exprienced in a hilarious sequence in the livestream.
