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?"

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

d b c d d

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

But I was only guessing.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Like Catholics do I guess.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

See, still guessing.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

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.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

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

Anonimo ha detto...

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.)

Wow! Quizzes certainly get you comments!
RBB

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

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

Anonimo ha detto...

Roberts? Are there more than one now?

RBB

Anonimo ha detto...

He's even making me comment twice.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Didn’t you know that Roberts is Cockney rhyming slang for testicles?

Bollocks!

RBB

Anonimo ha detto...

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.

RBB

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Jeepers! I hope everything's allright.

Why did you get in a fight?

Anonimo ha detto...

We don't drive a jeep, but everyone is alright.

RBB

Anonimo ha detto...

Thanks for your concern, old mate.
