3rd March 2026
After the hectic experience of yesterday I decided to take things easy, and build up the excitement gradually.
I had a list of things I wanted to take back, including hard drives, cables, Tapes and microphones.
I will be restricted by weight, but with careful selection it should be okay.
I had to venture into the shed, taking my life in my hands, I lifted the large plastic boxes down and rummaging through them found just what I wanted.
There also boxes of cables, that I needed to sort out. I emptied them all out and sorted them into audio cables in one pile, power cables in another and computer cables in another.
I found the hard drives, and set up the Mac to check they were the correct ones.
However I felt there was one missing, so no doubt there will be a frantic search for that.
I did start to cut back some of the overgrown shrubs in the garden, I will need to get the incinerator going to burn them.
I took a walk, intending to visit an old school friend who I hadn’t hear from in a while. I had emailed and left voice messages, and not got any reply.
I knew he had some health problems, so I had concerns. I didn’t receive any reply to my knocking, all the curtains were drawn, and generally the place looked a bit neglected.
I saw a lady cleaning her camper van, and I asked her if she knew his whereabouts.
Although she knew of him, she didn’t know where he was , but she took me to a neighbour who would know.
Well I did receive a very detailed account of his current location, and his state of health.
She mentioned a ruptured diaphragm or something like that, it sounded pretty serious.
That explained everything, and I passed that information on to other school friends, if there is time I might try to visit him, but sometimes hospitals restrict visitors to immediate family only, we shall see.
I was really tired, and I fell asleep on the sofa, the jet lag had caught up on me.
