Sabato.

I'm up early again.

I see that Robert has dropped by. He said something about deleting his blog because the dark web is after him.

Today's priority is to try to finish 
assembling this.
It looks easy enough, but it's not.
Harrison turns two on Monday - we're celebrating tomorrow.

Thanks to 'Atomic Habits' I have developed three types of habits.
1) I've already told you all about my violin practice.
2) I'm doing two 5 minute spots on the double bass, just to keep in touch with it. 5 minutes arco and 5 minutes pizzicato with a metronome.
3) I'm back practising my Italian language - reading my old notes, reading a book and listening.

The meds I'm on seem to make sleeping a bit of a challenge and I'm up frequently throughout the night. I aim to make sure that I get eight hours of sleep. Before 6am I have achieved that goal, so I get up, have a coffee, have some cereal, use the bathroom and write a post. It's now 6.41am in the Nui and I'm surprised how dark it is outside! I wonder if it is light enough now in Wrong-a-way to play tennis? Probably not. Peter will still be in his Dutch oven. 

Peter's Dutch oven.

Rob is up. I don't know if he has to work on Saturday morning. Maybe he's cleaning a Presbyterian church? Maybe he's cleaning his cello or fixing it with sellotape? Maybe he is working on his habits?
He is certainly not blogging.

I'm pleased to see that Richard's Bass Bag* is getting plenty of comments. It seems that we are attracting friends and family members of some of our regular readers.
Paarth Ernie Nis, Paul Hire, The A A guy, Chris Ock and Tui Balls, to name a few. I wouldn't mind betting that we hear from Paul Emery Nis soon too. Like myself he's a Nissan Note driver.
It is great that the blog is so popular!

Well, that's it from me for this morning. 

Ciao tutti.

Hey, it seems that Robert is 'blogging' on 'The spiritual diary of a sinner'. (under 'Robert' on our LINKS service. I left a comment on a new post saying, "Well done." It probably won't be shown in his comments. Anyway, it's good to have him back.

Thanks older and sometimes wiser brother. I'm off to Pak n save to get some supplies, pop up to check on the grave, then I want to transpose 'Mind over Matter' to the bass clef and practice it on the cello. I'm thinking a lot about your book. Especially that part that says we are what we identify ourselves to be. Rather than thinking of myself as a shy introvert, I'm identifying as socially confident and stable. I use the word omnivert to describe myself now (I saw it on a profile). We shouldn't put ourselves into boxes.
Have a great day.. I'll check why the comments aren't showing, it's not deliberate.

Fixed it ... had comment moderation and Google only on. You might have to retype your generous and kind remarks.

You guys should practise Billy Field’s ‘Bad Habits’ song.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Shuddup TC! Those jokes still have a long way to go before you come to the Nui.

Well done Rob.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Yes, it is a long way to 'the Nui'.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

“Well, I'm off the rails, my resistance fails
A temptation's got a hold on me
And I can't refuse because I always lose
I can't help myself, bad habits”.

Well sung, The Curmudgeon!

We have enough Ronald’s commenting.
We need more Rons.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I meant to say “we don’t need more Ron’s”.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

No, damn it. Bloody spell check on iPads!
I meant to say “ we don’t need more Rons”.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Sheesh!

Anonimo ha detto...

Ah well, at least it's keeping you busy.

RBB

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...
