Two hours of violin practice done.

 I made our local paper this week.

"Richard Prouse (spelling!) playing the last post. The Parade Marshal
Richard Nixon (left) is saluting."

I like the way the newspaper has to explain which person is which. Normally the trumpet would give it all away. I'm now famous, but not as famous as Pope Donald I.

Robert sent me a nice video of him playing the tune from Witches' Dance by Paganini.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.

AND he's playing the violin back to front!

Actually, he makes a very nice job of it AND he looks like he's enjoying himself - a good thing when you are performing.

Well done, Rob.

It is stormy in Wellington and people are being told to stay home. I don't think it's as bad in the Nui, but we are warned that there could be further power cuts.

I'm sort of stuck at home today, so I thought that I might practise the violin for four hours. I'm halfway there, so I'd better get back to it.

Ciao tutti.
