New Post?

 Sorry, I have no time for a new post this morning as I have to be on the road at 7.30am.

The biggest word I learnt when I was young was ethnomusicology. Actually, I'm not a fan of big or obscure words. I think that clear communication is more important.

Though here is my favourite Italian 'big word' - aspirapolvere.

You boys (Peter and Roberto) can use Google Translate to look it up.

Have fun boys.



Ciao tutti.

Funny, I thought that vacuous might be a word closer to home for you.

Why do you have to be on the road at 7.30am?

That's right:

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.
What you say?

I think that the old Electrolux cleaner is meant to be a metaphor for Richard's Bass Bag. The absence of the 'foot' suggests instability and infirmity.

Well it makes a lot of noise and sucks. What musical instrument might it be?

You boys are giving me a lesson. I think the big word 'ethnomusicology' has set you both off. Sorry.

ell, don't do it again (whatever it was).
Maybe a more benign household appliance might be best for your next post.
are pop-up toasters controversial?

Well then, that was a lesson in how your grammar is better than Robert's.

NOT!

Have you been drinking?

So, one missing 'W' sets you off. You should have been a policeman.

And yes, I have had a couple of wines (chardonnay and pinot noir). Lynn recognised that on our daily FaceTime call a few minutes ago. She should have been a policeman as well.

You're probably in the files though under Proud Boys, Insurrectionists, extreme conservatism, white supremacism, or other right-wing to far-right ideologies in a hierarchical structure paired with conspiratorial rhetoric alongside traditionalist and reactionary aspirations. Oh, and religious nuttiness.
