Overcast.
No, I'm not over the cast of any show. I just mean that it's cloudy in Wainuiomata.*

| These guys are fine. I don't even know what their show is. |
The washing machine is going and shortly it'll be time for violin practice. Then double bass practice in E A D G - no more silly tunings. Then I'll put normal strings on the Bob. After that I'll fix the door in the spare bedroom and vacuum the house.
Robert will be at work listening to podcasts. Peter will not be long up. The same height, actually.

RispondiEliminaBut I was only guessing.
RispondiEliminaLike Catholics do I guess.
RispondiEliminaSee, still guessing.
RispondiEliminaI'm light-headed from sun exposure and maybe dehydration. I started early to trim trees, tidy up the basement and add things to the trailer for the tip but it's still too hot.
RispondiEliminaTime for a break.
In case you're wondering, I don't like Kit Kats.
RispondiEliminaNo probs about the Kit Kat, you won a Sunday at St. Mary of the Angles. (No, I didn't mean Angels. The angles are that they'll be trying to convert you.)

That's OK. Roberts says that sacraments are free so stock up on them before they run out.
EliminaRoberts? Are there more than one now?

RispondiEliminaRBB
I spent the whole day in A & E with Shelley. Luckily it all turned out fine but there was a punch up in the waiting room while we were there.
RispondiEliminaRBB
Jeepers! I hope everything's allright.
EliminaWhy did you get in a fight?
We don't drive a jeep, but everyone is alright.
RispondiEliminaRBB
Thanks for your concern, old mate.
RispondiEliminaRBB
Wow, so many comments!
RispondiEliminaRBB
Glad Shelley is back home and well. Robert cares.
RispondiEliminaThanks Rob.
