I decided I would go to Queenscliff this year as they seem to have given the Festival a broader appeal this year.
For the first time in our lives Lady Bear and myself were treated to
Xmas dinner put on by our boys, Merlin and Somerled. As Lady said, "This was nice, perhaps we could do it again next year".
I did Bluestone 2008 from home this year. After being in and out of
hospital with Eric since September I just did not feel up to camping so I
went home in the wee hours of the New Year to recover then came back
again mid morning for the next day's bands.
New posts will be continue to be added here on Blogspot as I have caught up reposting the blog that originally posted on MySpace from the late 1990s onwards, as with its demise and changes it has become unusuable.

Lighthouses of Australia Reunion
In November (2008) we had a reunion with many of the foundation members of Lighthouses of Australia at Point Lonsdale.
This is the part of my life that I really miss now I am on dialysis, the adventures we had.
It was good to catch up after all these years, and this would be the last time we would be all together with Ed.

Eric, a short bout of freedom
- I felt the need to return to my own country.
- Catching up with Lady Bear and Maldon.
- Exit Bubbles, the dialysis machine.
- Apollo Bay Music Festival 2008.
I have not felt like adding anything more as so much has been up in the air. There have been a few issues with Eric The Kidney and I have felt that I would rather say nothing for the moment until I have more of an idea how things are travelling.
It all came to a bit of a head with me ending up in St Vincents for around 6 weeks with no real outcome. It became quite frustrating as I semed to be in their too hard basket, but some respite came as I did make it away for a few days to get to Maldon.
I am now at home again. I went back for another 10 days and then we all agreed as we were going nowhere, and things seem to be stable, the best place for me was at home.
I am now going to Monash Medical Center under a different team and am much happier with how things are being handled. They feel I am stable and seem to be happier for me to be at home, only coming in when something needs to be done.

Eric the Kidney
I had a kidney transplant on Wed 12 Mar 2008 and came home on Fri (Good) 21 Mar 2008.
This year (2008) Ruth and I went to see Bell Shakespeare's "As You Like It". Despite being 3 hours it was good. I love the way John Bell presents Shakespeare. See it if you can!
I have been able to get away a bit now I am not tied to the dialysis machine.

Out and about 2007
I went to the Maldon Folk Festival again and got really bad food poisoning on the first day and went home early!!
But I made up for it with a few other activities to finish 2007.
Og enjoying the company of fellow blues fans at the Sleepy Hollow Blues Club in 2007.
Og Bear trying to get some relief from the heatwave New Years Eve at Bluestone 2007.
