Things not great. Wife still in hospital. Iām seriously worried Pete. Hoping to get her home for Christmas. Trying to distract myself in music and the community. Scrolling back canāt believe how much Iāve missed. Apologies if Iāve missed important posts.

Weāre a bunch of single minded music lovers that stick (usually) together. Iām sorry to hear that your wife is still in hospital and can only imagine what youāre going through. Hopefully you can have some kind of Christmas, stay in touch and take care.

Yes, you can read all about it here. They are all egging me on for a NAP500 DR and new speakers already, the buggers.
We have updated our Wills and they include a Trust arrangement for Miss Mike that covers our wishes around self autonomy and empowerment with supported living arrangements if needed. We are signing them tomorrow and will go out afterwards for a little celebration. This has been quite a big deal and milestone for us to get this sorted, and itās been quite empowering in its own little way.

Weāre updating ours in the new year, in theory ours is simple we have 4 kids so everythingās divided into 4. Weāre hoping thatās how it works in practice.

Weāve another farm booked for Christmas (mark 2), Iām looking forward to seeing my youngest daughter who happens to live the furthest away. My first Christmas Day with her since she was 2, sheās now 41. Her 4 kids will keep Mrs Pete and I busy, Iām hoping I survive it. 
So Iām cramming in some albums before weāre off tomorrow for a week.

Have fun. At least you should be safe from buying any hi-fi gear 
Iāve still got my QBās to pick up, until we build and I know whatās left (if anything) I wonāt be upgrading anything.

Been in Christchurch for 3 days - havenāt been here for 5 years - lots of small bars and the food is really excellent so pretty good vibe all round. Unfortunately the pandemic has slowed the pace of major construction projects so still lots of vacant blocks used as car space. Will be at least another 10 years before infilled which is a pity, still the younger generation getting on with life.
Off to Queenstown in morning to consume gallons of Pinot noir 
Merry Christmas to all on forum
