I will be going back to look after the folks in the uk, shortly, not sure when.

So a gearfest a bit closer than the auckland/shore thing in november 2029, I'm hoping for aug 21 and aug 22, will be in ellerslie if I can get the place. Or nearby anyway.

Good news for Slowy, he can slope off to Doolans for a kilkenny, or a pint of Boddingtons.

Hope all's well. Will it be long-term?

My dad's 92 now. Being miserable is what gets him through the day.

yeah my dads the same. My mums blind and he's 'primary caregiver'
he stopped eating a few weeks ago. Doctors are still looking into it. And then he had 'a fall'

Ah. All worrisome for sure. I had siblings (well, one - the rest were fucking useless) on-hand which helped.

I'm sorry to read that! Sound like a bit of a shit situation.

Sorry to hear about the whanau. Will try and attend in August. Happens to be just after my next exam so timing is pretty good.

I might be busing down to Auckland earlier that week, but if I have a car I'll bring a 1960 CS reissue Strat, Whitfill T, maybe a Partscaster Radian Tele with P90s and a Taylor Built-To-Order Grand Auditorium.

S'Ok. I'll drive myself this time so I don't have to keep tabs on my ride home.

I'm actually not sure if I feel up to this or not, its sort of hit me really hard today the reality of everything. Might leave it until the northland fest...

Fair enough! Alternatively, it might be a good distraction and boost for your mood. Take a few days to think it over. Not that you need my permission to do so.

thats what I was thinking to begin with, earliest I can fly is 26th. And it will distract me from overdrinking things.

p.s. not a typo

Did you book your return slot in MIQ?

Sorry to hear this BG hope all goes well, being that far away must make it stressful. I know how this feels, had couple of bad falls with Dad but he has bounced back.
