Monday Morning.

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.

"Richard is doing some
good jokes this morning.
Maybe he should do a quiz?"

Ciao tutti.

  1. No comments. Maybe the questions in the quiz were a bit hard for the old boys?

  2. I'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.
    Time for a break.

  3. In case you're wondering, I don't like Kit Kats.

  4. No 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.)

    1. That's OK. Roberts says that sacraments are free so stock up on them before they run out.
