Ok, again no ‘more’ today either. If I keep on moving the ‘more’ ahead I forget what ‘more’ is about. Although the ‘more’ story about the eucalyptus is spinning in my head I do not find the time transferring it in digital transportation bits. Tomas (the dog; remember?) came home with a serious heavy bleeding wound so I rushed to the veterinarian. Next the chainsaw broke down. Again jumped into the car and drove to the machine repair doctor. Its busy keeping the family going. So here another picture to keep you in the mood:

Don’t know how it is at your whereabouts but here spring definitely arrived. Weather is amazing sunny and warm. The air smells and sounds like spring. Flowers are blooming, birds singing, bees are busy buzzing. Lots of fresh new activity on the land, in the trees and sky. All works positive on me too. The cold nights (had only a few) are finally over.
Got new musical ideas. Will work the new DKK soon. My mind flows over. I call it ’The Avant Gardenist’, or ‘Eucalyptica’, or maybe both. Whatever. by the time I got my noisy shite together all these brain spinnings changed with the wind, sun and no-rain. Although ‘Eucalyptica’ is a strong title. I will store that one.
Its time for a new vid too. This thing on the frontpage runs for half a year now. Hope you don’t get too annoyed. Move your cursor in the vid, operating buttons will appear and click on ‘pause’ to stop. Ofcourse the crappy slow internet I am connected too is another reason why I didn’t bother much changing. Loading up a vid takes that long the complete internet world wide jumps on a time-out. ‘Time Out’! Hmm, not bad, probably used before. Too obvious. Leave that one to the ‘pop’ among us.
What a nonsense post today. Will try getting back into more serious writing from tomorrow on.

Every day a post this week. Not bad uhh! Today the ‘easy’ one; a picture. The forest burns again. This time over hill:

The smoke is not me burning big cigars in front of camera lens, it’s a fire at Mega Cimera. Funny, that’s where last fire (few months ago) stopped. Today it decided to finish the job.
Yep, forest fires in February. Who would ever expect but here in Portugal its possible. Didn’t rain for months. Everything is extreme dusty dry.
Don’t worry about the eucalyptus, what burns are mostly pine trees. Rumors go that these fires are set up by eucalyptus growers. I must say it raise questions why never eucalyptus forests burn down.
No worries regarding my safety this time. The fire is far away and wind blows other direction.

Computers and people. These two don’t go together. My life will be perfect if one of the two definitely disappears forever. I am sure its possible someone can construct a program fed with all previous Limbabwe posts used for the basis producing new ones. Other computers can have fun downloading these daily texts. That way I can find my final peace without digitally disappearing. Maybe all this is already going on. So far in the lost and lonely forest I might be the last (forgotten) human. Maybe all I receive through the only medium I use, the rotten internet, is generated by programs. Hey there, are you all still here. Oh what the hell, it doesn’t matter. Human race was the biggest mistake of evolution anyway. Let it disappear. Don’t see me as the last crappy Hollywood (mad Mat) hero trying to save human existence. No way! The eucalyptus trees around me will be happy if we go forever. Us being their only threat they finally can take over the planet that will have to change the name from ‘Earth’ into ‘Eucalyptica’. Blame it all on ‘Kill Bill (Gates) Microflop’ and ‘Mac Rotten Apple Inflop’.
There is still a way to stop all this. Send me your address and I mail you my daily posts on good old fashioned analogue ink on paper sealed in a stamped envelope. Material for which eucalyptus trees can become very handy (raw material for paper production).

Sitting on the veranda. Temperature warm like summer. Dog asleep at my feet. Cat spinning on my knee. Wind, some birds, distanced mountain stream, the only sounds. World passes by on me. Neighbors too far. Town on the end of a long downhill. No tv, no newspaper, no messenger. Just an old radio playing a local ‘art’ station. Switched on in the evenings. Always John Coltrane after 8pm.
I look up to the new construction. Little bit more progress today. Life can be very satisfactory without the rat-race. No competition here. There is no one to compete with. That makes loosing impossible so I am always the winner.
Fights start later in the evening when activating the computer making attempts loading new posts on this site. Dealing with the world satisfied with a primitive communication system called ‘internet’ is one of my most stressful daily moments. But even here I win proofed by this text. Tomorrow my next struggle.

Let me restart this posting activity. Last post was one week ago. A personal record! Never had such a long break between two posts. You have to be informed about my latest activities. From now on I will force myself into the almost daily routine of writing.
First the rock ‘n roll news: I’ll be back on the road again. Short trip with PTV3. Here the dates:
May Friday 18, St Petersburg @ S.K.I.F. 16
May Sunday 20, Moscow @ P!PL club
Yep, Russia only. If you are around do not hesitate to say hello. Like usual you find me at the FOH position or (under?) the bar.
Juntas: The construction started. Using the huge pile of eucalyptus trees I chopped this winter building a barn/cabin. Here a picture:

And ofcourse the mimosa is in bloom:

Tomorrow more.

Juntas needs a new road for easier access with the lowest (downhill) part. Here in Portugal they are very easy with a job a like this. A bulldozer comes and rams straight trough every obstacle on its way. Tall trees, heavy rocks, steep cliffs, nothing stops this bulldozer. Job is done in one afternoon. Within a few hours a wild impenetrable jungle turns into one decent dirt road. Most surprising was the bulldozer. A museum piece. Here a picture. Look what a beauty. Main thing: it did the job!
