Sabato.

 I slept in. Beh, è Sabato!

I'm working very hard at applying my violin Habits to my four unaccompanied tunes. I want to be able to swap easily between the tune, chords and arpeggios. It takes a bit of practice - knowing the tune and chord progression thoroughly. I'll hopefully get some double bass practice done today too.

This evening we have the Super Rugby Pacific final. I don't really care who wins, but I like these two guys.

Will Jordan and Damian McKenzie

May the better team on the day win. Hey, I know Robert will say it's just grown men throwing a ball around and touching each other, but he's actually getting confused and thinking of Brother Benedict.

'Bennie the B', as students sometimes called him, used to enjoy kicking a ball, at short range, as hard as he could at his 11 and 12 year old rugby players. He thought it was funny. He never managed to hit me, but he did get his hand up my pants a few times.

I haven't got much planned for today but tomorrow will be busy. I have a brunch with Nef (my daughter) and her friends and then I'm big boy sitting for about four hours. It'll be great to catch up with my best pal Harrison. Nef intends to come around and help. Shelley will be there too, so I reckon the three of us can sort him out. (A bit of a joke there.) Well, I mean, his dad sometimes calls him Hurricane Harrison! Ah, but we all love him dearly and it will be great to spend time with him. 

The guy who likes to be called The Curmudgeon never proofreads what he writes, "but It doesn't mean that I have to become involved." Well, I'm only trying to help. He doesn't need that capital 'I' after 'but'. 

Okay, okay, Rob's grammar is often worse. Here's an example.

"Have fun and don't sin (if you do go to confession and get back on the path to the Kingdom and righteousness)." 

Is he telling us to not sin if you're going to confession? I think what he meant to say would be clearer if he had put a comma after 'if you do'.

Ah well, I'm only trying to help.

That's it from me this morning.

Ciao tutti.
