Hi there,

it's me again...

I have to close the shop for a few weeks so that I can, a) finish about a dozen long-term and quite major restoration jobs that the continous flow of regular work has somewhat stalled, and b) get some of the domestic stuff back on track.

As many of you probably know, my wife Lisa has been seriously ill for a couple of years and this has meant that routine home stuff has been de-railed, and consequently I have to take time out to do stuff such as fixing the deck, trying to get rid of the lantana (!), and generally doing the stuff that you normally do around the property. 

Lisa and I used to tag-team this stuff, but her immobility makes that impossible.

I will re-open on Tuesday the 4th of July.

If you have an instrument already with me, and you want to either collect it or check its progress, then shoot me an email. I will check 'phone messages every few days, but email will get a quicker response.

If you have a job that you'd like me to do, then thanks in advance for your patience - please feel free to contact me to "book it in" for when I re-open. I should be pretty-well up-to-date by then.

Been a weird couple of years - with the whole covid thing, Lisa's illness, the flood and long recovery, as well as the maniacs at the Reserve Bank. It would be nice if things could get back to normal. Or at least what passed for normal a few years ago...

Hopefully the re-opening date (fourth of July), and its association with re-birth and independence, is some kind of positive sign! 

Er...I might be clutching at straws there, but nevertheless my little shop and all of the stuff I do for you guys will definitely be back to "normal" next month.
