Hi Everyone,
as I'm sure most of you know, as of 6.00pm Monday 9th August, Lismore and the surrounding areas have been placed under Lockdown.
And as much as we'd all like my little shop to be classified as "essential", I'm afraid that I don't qualify. But as soon as the government health-orders are lifted you can be assured that I will re-open right away.
If you read this, and want to contact me via email, that would be fine. Clearly though, completed repairs can't be collected, and new repairs can't be accepted, as I am required to have the shop closed.
It's been an interesting few months.
I chose to close the shop temporarily in May, to catch up on the large backlog of repairs. I made good progress. I re-opened in June and actually booked in more new work than the number of completed jobs that were collected. Then came July, and Lisa's illness.
As Lisa's recovery continued I was able to re-open the shop at the end of July. Two weeks later I have to close again by government directive.
The only good thing about this is that I should be able to catch up even further!! Yay!!
Income? Yikes. But as Bob Dylan said, "Everything is temporary".
This thing is obviously dragging on beyond the seven days that they initially imposed, so we will have to contact the "authorities" to see if some kind of "Plan B" is acceptable regarding collection of completed repairs. Friends...I am not holding my breath!
Stay at home, stay safe, and stay positive.
Soon this journal will feature guitar stuff again, rather than public health orders...
Andrew
