Hello long lost folks of old,
So about a year ago everything was going well; my shed was creaking yet resilient as was my IT infrastructure and I was posting about getting 0.4dB increase in performance on ADSL.
Then : stuff happens.
In summary : Work, My Dad is ill, I move in to care for him; He improves but later he gets ill again. In February 2017 my Dad passed away.
Not unexpected, I'm practical and take things that way, also the practical side of sorting stuff out has distracted me. Though sometimes when I'm out I see something and think that I'll tell my Dad about it because he'd be interested. And... oh.
Gardencam was meant to continue; indeed I had a contingency plan. Which I changed at last minute and caused it to fail a few days after I'd left it.
Right now I'm still sorting through my Dad's stuff, and my old stuff. Lots of my old stuff. Boot sales and ebay sales and charity shops and just putting stuff on the wall next to the road. (ALL the VHS video tapes have gone that way, even though charity shops don't want them)
Also looking for somewhere new to live. (Complicated involving owning property but not because bequeathed from late mother and move in to Father's property and...) anyway I'm not homeless and not without money but I have to find somewhere new. And I don't know where is best. Suggestions?
In the last few months, as well as involving myself with solicitors and the like. I've been sorting things out and going to boot fairs to sell things, which has been great fun. I've also been selling junk on ebay

In the short term, I'm sorting things out. A lot of things. My Dad has lived here since 1962. I've wooden stepladders and solid paintbrushes to put on ebay.
Meanwhile, hi to everyone here I've said hello to, or asked advice of or, rarely, given advice to. HiHi.
