It's weird but I find myself spending less and less times on forums, Zappa and SHP all seem to be sliding downhill...

Forums are about dead, now. Everything takes place on facebook, instagram, etc. I remember the days when I used to spend hours discussing various subjects on different forums. Yours and buckethead.tk are the only forums I still visit. I left Zappa a loooong time ago, when there was a kind of redesign, with the appearance moderators, beings who'd been, until then, completely absent from the forum.

And, by the way, 36 is a great age.

Not only that but I find the discussions a lot less interesting.

Or maybe I don't have enough time to delve into other people's experiences.
The mods are largely gone at zappa.com. Except for the deletion of JPFunk (which took way too long) there doesn't seem to be any moderation at all. There've been some trolls since then that make me lose interest.

Something woke me up in the middle of the night around 2:00am on the 16th here in OZ and I checked my phone and saw the live stream of the cathedral burning. Very disturbing.

I sat up until the message came through that the structure core could be saved...

Easter's a busy time. We fortunately got our easter packages today: a huge chocolate egg! Yumyumyum!

Now that my wife's a consultant, she no longer gets school holidays, so she's currently enjoying the Easter four day weekend. We've had little family get togethers every day so far and one more today, so some food prep is coming up shortly. Tomorrow we'll just put our feet up.

That's lovely!

I've found a little art project to do with all those perler beads I have.

Went to town today, had a bicycle breakdown and had to walk home. The usual.

Will be at BFs over the weekend!

You and bikes - what is that all about?

A bike is with ease the best way to get around with distances under 10km in these parts. And they're tiny Rube Goldberg machines with a lot of parts. If one fails on you, they'll all fail.

I understand the value of a bike, but you do seem to have a lot of bad luck with bikes. That's a funny joke about them being Rube Goldberg machines, but modern bikes are engineered to be very efficient in their purpose - localised circular motion in, transverse motion out. I haven't ridden a bike since I had my nasty accident last year.
