Up early again.

I don't think that Robert is reading these blogs anymore.

Last night I received lots of messages from him on What's App. He obviously set up a link with me. He's telling me about every step of the book he is reading.


Personally, I'd be happy if he just read the book. 

Thanks for the email, Peter. I definitely think I'm on the mend, but it will take a little while. It'd be great to see Lynn.

By the way, Robert got up to page 32 last night.


I wonder if carrying a rainbow flag will become one of his habits?

I was hoping that the book would inspire him to get the most out of his life. Maybe he is doing that by reading the book to me? Sheesh!*

I'm popping into the hospital early this morning for a chest Xray and another blood test. As I said, everything seems to be going okay - my potassium level is way up - and then I have an old friend, Saty, coming for lunch. It'll be good to catch up with him and his lady. 

I also need to get my violin practice (habits) done and I should really do a bit on the double bass. It is also nearly time to start practising for ANZAC Day. Think trumpet here. It's important to work up those lips and the breathing.

Nui colours.

As you know, I have a green and black plastic trumpet. I use a Dennis Wick gold mouthpiece. Surprisingly, the plastic trumpet does a good job. The mouthpiece isn't made of gold, it's just that colour.


That's it for this morning.

Ciao tutti.

From the web:

"What is the downside of WhatsApp?
Security features are lacking: Vulnerable to hacking and impersonation. Arbitrary account bans: Accounts may be banned without clear reasons. Misinformation spread: The platform can be used to spread false information. Impact on mental and physical health: Overuse can lead to social isolation and health issues."

OK, situation normal then.

Hello, Mr. Happy.

You don't get to be a curmudgeon by being nice all the time.

Or by not getting your jokes up to scratch. PLEASE no 'scratch' puns!

Just popped in to say hi.
Jolly good, off to read what Pete's been pontificating.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Hi Rob.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

PONTIFICATE:
1. Express one's opinions in a pompous and dogmatic way.
"he was pontificating about art and history"

2.(In the Roman Catholic Church) officiate as bishop, especially at Mass.
"he pontificated at three Christmas Masses"

Thank you Robert. I obviously assume that you didn't mean interpretation number 1 but I have to disappoint you - I won't be officiating as a bishop at Mass.
