Good to see the legend back at it..

Well, I don't feel particularly great at the moment, so apart from re-profiling the neck of my Jap Strat (to be more like the 'soft V' of my DG Strat), haven't really done anything today. It's been threatening to rain, but didn't and has only now all just cleared up with the sun out.

So here's a picture from the sailing holiday, taken by my oldest friend, Steve, with Jim (an Australian) by the mast and me helming.

I hope you are ok Simon? You are quite absent lately and I think I can say that we miss your input. Great picture!

[Simon Barden]

As I said, I've been on holiday, then had distractions with a new driveway being installed. My depression is also a bit worse at the moment, so I've been finding it hard to contribute much. Also my head feels really mushy/fuzzy at the moment, so I'm taking it easy and not trying to do to much until it passes.

[Kick]

Ok, I understand it. Take care Simon, your health is the most important thing of all!

[Drummerdude]

Simon I hope things get better for you .you have lots of friends here even though we have never met in person. I will be praying for you and your health.

Best wishes,
Jeremy

My partner suffers from depression , on and off, and she really gets benefit from exercise and even more from meditation. Easier said than done tho. You've got tons of support here Simon. Jim

Sorry to hear that Simon, take care of yourself mate.

Depression is more common than people think and I believe that by talking about things it makes it better. You're a good man for not being afraid to mention it mate.

(still really excited about your build also and want to see how it all comes out!!!!)

Take care of yourself Simon, the reason I build kits is to keep my mind off crap.
