Well, not "finito" , as in "cease" , in a personal progress sense. More along the lines of "god be with you", adios, au revoir (or this au revoir .. heh.) - but "technological factors" will soon prevent me from posting to "Wombat's Waffles" .. within seven days. Odd, in many ways, that the word, or concept, of "god" has to be involved .. but it IS so ingrained and interwoven with much of Mediterranean thought processes.
had assumed it simple .. just find a suitable video/song with "Soo long, it's been good to know ya" .. but there are several versions on uTube, some terrible, some - more or less along the lines of my thinking ..
This is one of them ..
.. but wasn't quite the tone that was looking for, so then thought .. OK, Gracie Fields - "Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye" .. and found this one (it's part of a movie, "Shipyard Sally" - 5min25sec). ummm, sort of close, but not quite.
Then found this ..
(almost 8 minutes)
Make of it what you will .. heh ..
I will have access to landlines and "easy internet" for a few more days, and this is a sort of "warning" that Wombat's Waffles will be shutting down soon.
On one hand - I will miss it, but on the other, am looking forward to being able to "smell the pheromones", see the subtleties of eyeblinks and frowns, subconscious and instant shifts of stance within visual distance .. moving "backwards", so to speak, into the community of human beings.
[and yup, have added a bit more and couple of pics to "Odds, sods and bookends" in case yer too lazy to scroll back that far.]

Poop, this bum is going to miss ya.
Happy and interesting paths and trails to you. I hope that you can check in once in a while.
Good luck Davo.
Thanks fellers -- hmmm, only two? Tree fellers wanted .. gahhh, this sitting round the house all day in nuttin' but me birfdy suit is sending me (further) round the twist.
Thanks Amy .. but in my experience "luck" has bugger all to do with anything. There is "good management", "bad management" .. and "manipulating yer chances" within the confines of the two .. heh
Good luck. Hope you might occasionally find your way into an internet cafe, Davo.
We'll miss you too you old buzzard. (I almost said coot, but I have co-opted the term) Internet cafes are fun (though some of them expect you to buy booze or food. well?)
Do leave the blog up, Davo. I am a very slow reader. Am killing off a bottle of Kim Crawford Sauvingon Blanc as a salute to our occasional connection on issues and bemusements.
You can just put "gone sailing" in the description field of the blog settings so people that aren't good at reading anything older than 15 minutes can just surf elsewhere.
You are going in a good direction: away from icons and towards real warts-and-all faces. May you have smooth sailing. And I hope the folks you run into appreciate your particular kind of sanity...I sure have.
Go long into the day, Bro -- wish I'd found you earlier.
beaks and all faces?
