They say sequels are never as good, and that goes for lockdowns, especially if you’re up to number 6. (I know they’re necessary, but they’ve definitely been financially and mentally tough to live through.) Still, the sun was out today, and I’ve had my shots (5G to brainstem connection is growing in nicely), so I’m doing ok overall.

Hey all, After 4 lovely years in Melbourne (where I was made to feel truly welcome & loved by @etherealdrifter and @Amazonian), I’ve relocated to the mid north coast of NSW (Forster-Tuncurry). So, once we’ve settled in (and assuming we don’t all end up in lockdown), it would be cool to catch up with any peeps that might be around this neck of the woods.

I suspect the binfire (or bonfire) is going to get hotter in the near future @Darklight. There are some pretty heavy hitters who are unhappy with MMA, and at least one of their paid staff has left recently (with more rumours of mismangment and disaffection, including amongst volunteers).

Yeah, that would be nice.

This whole thread makes me deeply happy. Also, unhappy.

Yeah, still some of us old-timers lurking here, our shapely skulls replete with forbidden knowledge.
