RIP old PC.
Back in the rat race. I have so little spare time left - maybe half an hour on working days - but I picked up one of my hobbies, knitting, again.
Spent one month on a sock that wasn't finished.
Knitted thygh high stockings before and those took me about that long to make and it was a much harder pattern with cumbersomely long needles.
Discovered I made a bad mistake that would require pulling out over half of what I'd done so far.
Figured I'd start again all over. Don't want a repeat of my infamous vest that only older Zappa forumers remember.

London area sounds perfect for gigs. The jazz scene has taken off in the last few years. I've tried a few of the new artists online but haven't been
too inspired so far. I need to dig deeper. What sort of music do you perform?
I'm all in for wool when travelling. Merino primarily. It is warm in cold weather and cool in hot and after several wears it doesn't smell and dries
easily when it has an occasional wash. However it is so fine that I'd imagine the home knitter would be 'knitting one, purling one' for an eternity
just to get a cuff done.

Hurray Eddie, good going!
I need to start up my old laptop as well, it needs a new battery. You know it's a tiny one that needs to go somewhere in the laptop, but I haven't
figured out where yet.
At least I backupped recently so I won't lose that much of value.

Zappa influenced prog? I'd come and watch if you were in my area. Sounds pretty good. It'll be interesting to follow you as you get established in
London.

Henry, it’s always nice to get positive feedback, cheers. Frank Zappa is my favourite composer, but King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin,
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stravinsky, Varèse and a certain style of jazz are also major influences.

This might be a small forum but it is concentrated with high powered creators. I have nothing to offer unfortunately, I'm just a consumer.

The most noteworthy thing that has happened today is that I have been informed that one of my nieces has become a nephew.

Having a relaing weekend.
Except I cycled for 45 minutes to the second-hand store and nearby supermarket, to find that I forgot my wallet. 
Seriously since Dad landed in ICU last year my brain's been worse.

My bastard neighbours in Cohuna are at it again, even thou I'm now living in a new house 500km away they are still at it.
Yesterday morning we get a phone call from the old neighbour across the street that she has received a text message from Rachel the Bastard neighbour
that late the night before she had seen someone with torches in our empty Cohuna house for sale and that her son (the Bastard Darcy- who verbally
abused Mrs Eddie was away with his girlfriend).
No 1 They did not directly report this to the police, which left us to do it the next day over the phone from 500km away. took 4 hours of calls to get
the bastard police to respond.
No 2 we did not need to know that Darcy was away with his girlfriend - I bet it was Darcy how broke into the house.
Upshot nothing was taken from the house but the back door was unlocked- looks like someone got in thou a window, Police are dusting the place for
finger prints and real estate will keep close eye on house and bastards next door.
Good news thou we have 2 interested parties looks to buy the house.......... and professional photos will replace the existing shots- some I took
shortly

What are the logistics for getting a restraining order on a neighbour. Particularly if they had to be a minimum of 500 metres away.
