YOU WON’T HAVE MICK FARREN TO KICK AROUND ANY MORE!

(This is really for my friends in LA.)

In a week’s time, I am leaving California and heading back to England and the pleasant Georgian seaside resort of Brighton. The original idea was to have a farewell party at my apartment, but since the chaos of moving has reduced it to a Hollywood House of Usher, we are decanting the celebration to Chavito (the bar on the other side of El Chavo restaurant) at 4441 W. Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake. (323 664 0871) That's just east of the Vista Theater on Sunset, on the north side of the street. And there’s free parking in the back, you enter on Sunset Drive.

All this is happening this Saturday (Oct 23rd). And we’ll be kicking off at 5.00 to avail ourselves of the happy hour.

SUNDAY BREAKFAST NEVER CAME














Well no, not really all, folks, but in just twelve days, unless something goes traumatically wrong, I shall be relocating to the UK. The reasons are multiple and will probably be discussed in future posts, but suffice to say that it has a lot to do with healthcare and maybe a trace of an inbuilt instinct to return, late in life, to whence one came. This is essentially why no Doc40 has appeared in the last week. I have been sorting, packing, arranging, and discarding – a lot of discarding – so that Finn the cat and I can fly out of Los Angeles at the end of the month. By the same token, posts in the immediate future, are guaranteed to be sporadic, short, and probably pictorial, as the process of moving homes becomes increasingly chaotic. But don’t despair. All will be back to what is laughingly called normal in early November as soon as the technology is reconnected in the pleasant Georgian seaside resort of Brighton. Also our pals in the USA shouldn’t worry. I still have the same news sources and will not be turning my back on the American madness. I’ve been here too long for that.
