A pretty shit couple of weeks with being back in Level 4 Lockdown and a death in the family. Tired of seeing conspiracy theorists and "the woke" getting air time.
A kind gift from a good friend means another beautiful radio waiting to be polished up.
I am now half vaccinated and have not yet died, grown an additional limb or been contacted by Bill Gates.
This is very very cool!

We are entering week nine of our level 4 lockdown and I'm completely over it
August 22nd, 2021  
Nice to see you back. Like the classic radio
August 22nd, 2021  
Nasty to hear life's been rough. But it's good to see you back.
What doesn't kill you, makes you tougher.
So I can forget about Bill becoming my pen pal??? All that fuss and vaccination in vain? He's not calling? Bugger!
August 22nd, 2021  
Current times have taken their toll. Sorry for your loss.
August 22nd, 2021  
The world is a mad place at the moment. Being in some form of lockdown seems to be the norm these days.
My sympathy on the loss of your family member
August 22nd, 2021  
condolences to the family
August 22nd, 2021  
good to see you back, we are in lockdown too
August 22nd, 2021  
Great composition - beautiful classic radio
August 22nd, 2021  
But have you become magnetic? ( *%^$#*** anti-vaxxers).
I love the surface it is on, floor? table? Great pattern and textures.

Well my view is the world up shit creek in a barbwire canoe, every ones talking but no one is listening and the ones who run it won't do anything about it because they might lose some money in the deal. when it all go's tits up money won't help them. It 's out of my control so fuck it I will sit and have the good beer and not worry about it all.
Very sorry to hear of your family loss.
August 22nd, 2021  
Love it!
August 22nd, 2021  
Sorry to read your sad news and the covid situation sucks, but glad to know you've been shot once and still live to tell the tale. My deepest condolences to you & your family.
August 22nd, 2021  
Your exasperation comes through loud and clear. I'm sorry to hear you lost a family member. I can empathize very well with that. Take care, Graeme!
August 22nd, 2021  
Hard to be going through all this. Wishing you the best under the difficult circumstances. Still loving your images.
August 22nd, 2021  
Superb imagery! So sorry to hear about your loss

@kjarn I sincerely hope that our doesn't last that long!
August 22nd, 2021  
Glad to see your back and sorry for your loss. Its an interesting ensemble of a shot! Every country seems to have there own way of dealing with it. Over here were meeting it head on hoping the vaccine is the route out but with the clown leading the charge I'm not very convinced!
August 22nd, 2021  
@rjb71 I think our current lockdown will last a while - more cases everyday and it's spreading across the country with a will of it's own
August 22nd, 2021  
I have had a shot as well, dont know what the fuss is about... wont tell a certain family member, sick of the stupid arguments! hope you were able to have a sendoff for your family member before the restrictions.
August 22nd, 2021  
@kali66 I have a "friend" who is vehemently anti-mask, anti-vax and is consumed by proving that the whole thing is a hoax designed by all the governments of the world colluding to decrease the worlds population as a way to deal with the global warming that he says also isn't happening....deepest of deep sighs
Anyhooo...."thankfully" the funeral was the Monday before lockdown!
August 22nd, 2021  
Sorry for your loss. Radio is a great friend for these crazy times.
August 22nd, 2021  
Sorry for your loss - be safe,buddy🌻❤️
August 22nd, 2021  
@joemuli Thanks very much - it's all we can do at the moment!
@haskar Thanks very much
August 22nd, 2021  
Brilliant. But it does look as if Bill is trying to contact you on that fancy radio
August 22nd, 2021  
Crazy as ever.............great composition!
Stay safe...........sorry for your loss!

The master of the macabre is back …
August 23rd, 2021  
@pdulis Thanks - I'll take it and run with it
@radiogirl There was never any hope of me arriving at Sane...
@jgpittenger Well I for one will not be answer in his calls....I'm more of an Apple guy
August 23rd, 2021  
Thank you for acknowledging reality, its
an uncommon thing these days -

why is he pointing up? I like the swirling screen on the radio it makes me imagine that fuzzy sound and old times stations coming in and out the ear.
August 23rd, 2021  
@catcarter19 I was trying to convey that "I'm only going to say this once" but it didn't really work...I'm kind of in a "meh" headspace at the moment.
August 23rd, 2021  
I think you conveyed the only going to say it once well
August 23rd, 2021  
@jgpittenger Thank you :)
August 23rd, 2021  
So good to see you're still sparking on all six, mate. I do miss your succinct summaries about the state of stuff. I see someone else mentioned being up shit creek in a barbed-wire canoe, but he forgot the 'no paddles' bit.
August 23rd, 2021  
My condolences. Sad state of affairs all around. Thanks for keeping us entertained
August 23rd, 2021  
@jackies365 Thanks very much :)
@golftragic Thank you kindly - long time no see…not that I make it here much myself these days!
August 23rd, 2021  
good on you, on all accounts! but, sorry for your loss and NZ's entry into the new normal.
August 23rd, 2021  
Oh it is a grim situation and I am really sorry for your loss. Over here, we are all busy acting like everything is back to normal when it quite clearly isn't. Good to see your artwork hasnt suffered along with everything else.
August 23rd, 2021  
@helenhall I actually think normal is a long way off yet
August 23rd, 2021  
@blueberry1222 Thanks, thanks and I guess it is what it is, we just have to roll with it and do what's right!
August 23rd, 2021  
first off, sorry for your loss. and glad to see you again.

if only to make you feel better, we here in canada, especially toronto where i live, had been in lockdown since march last year. we have opened the last couple of weeks, but a lot of the businesses have closed and everyone is still mandated to do the usual physical distancing, masks, etc. etc. we're still working from home and have limited social activities with a limited number of people. i've got days muddled up as well as dates and times.

you guys were lucky compared to the lot of us here.
August 24th, 2021  
@summerfield I know we've been extremely lucky compared to others....the Delta Variant finally made it here but so farthings aren't looking to bad as again we've "gone hard and gone early" with the Lockdown....still, it's winter and not great weather for sunbathing!
Also, thank you very much
August 24th, 2021  
You've expressed my feelings perfectly!
August 24th, 2021  
@vignouse There are high levels of stupidity, selfishness and reckless disregard at large in the world these days.
August 24th, 2021  
Love and agree with your commentary! Sorry to hear of the death in the family. :(
August 30th, 2021  
@gardenfolk thanks and thanks!
