Old Is the New New

I’m playing my first gig with Rory on June 7 at the Nash Hotel Richmond starting at 8:30pm.

Epiblogue: I’m sure I’ll be a tad nervous but it should go well considering the time I’ve put into rehearsal.

Well, the house sold for just $2K under a market appraisal we got a few months ago.

 Now the race is one to find something else either to buy or rent if buying proves too difficult in the time between now and settlement.

I’m not jumping for joy at the prospect of having to find a place with the right number of bedrooms in the right area for the right price (dirt cheap) but having half the proceeds of the existing place is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick.

Epiblogue: Considerably better actually.

I recently began rehearsing with Rory Ellis.  At least that’s what I thought I was doing but, the reality is, he’s rehearsing me up.

It might be a couple of months until we’re ready but it’s fun to have some new music on the horizon.

Epiblogue: It’s even further to Rory’s than it is to Mark’s & Nicky’s, but that man really knows how to cook lamb chops.

Well, we’ve just taken the first step to putting the house on the market.

It’s taken me a while to accept that I simply can’t afford to buy Linda out but now I’m kind of looking forward to starting a new chapter.

Epiblogue: Here’s hoping we get what all the real estate agents have been saying it’s worth.

Here are some pics of my recently completed FlipSlide guitar. I designed it after a suggestion by Jack and it works a real treat.

Epiblogue: Like the self-saucing cauliflower the idea is unlikely to gain me too many accolades or make any money but it’s nice to successfully finish a project.
