Hi Guys Alistair here from Scotland still going albeit with very limited energy.The morphine is doing no good with my hobby life. Bronwen cannot walk much now it has been very sad to watch the love of my life go downhill so quickly over the last decade she is now 70 and I am her toyboy she says at 67 in a few months MAY. anyway I don’t write much eyesight is not great but usable and I am getting quite deaf, apart from that I am doing fabulously well lol. It is nice to look you guys up and I will try harder to be a good boy and write more often as I miss all my friends here God bless all of you Alistair -- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease |

Hello my friend ! Good to hear from you. News could have been better, but age shits on us all, I just keep trying to remember that the alternative sucks….I wouldn’t be able to play with my lathe or experiment with new techniques from an urn on someone’s mantle. So on I go. I don’t give a rat’s ass if anyone likes my work anymore, or comments on here, I am having more fun now reading how seriously some of us are still taking ourselves. It is also good to see so many new younger lumberjocks popping up from time to time. Goodony’a Alistair ! Hope to see you post some work in the future . We all still have something to share and I for one, like the opportunity to see new directions. At 74 I could care less wether we have a crazy shithouse rat in the Whitehouse oval office or not (actually I find the nonsense emanating from there enjoyable and a laugh or two is good for the spirit) The next generation of Lumberjocks coming up are bringing new techniques and directions and it is uplifting to see their work …... Goodon’ya my friend ! -- The pig caught under the fence is always the one doing all the squealing ! |

Just keep on plugging along, Alistair. As others have mentioned, we are all getting older, so we are in your corner. Take care, summer is coming soon, get out and smell the roses…. -- Jim, Anchorage Alaska |

Alistair, all we can do is hang in there as many of us are all in the same boat to some extent and we are in your corner! -- "It's fine in practise but it will never work in theory" |
