Tree fellas wanted.

 

I've got a guy coming around early this afternoon to look at some of our trees. One has blown over and there are 'tree' others that I want removed. It'll cost a bit, but it'll be good to be rid of these four trees. 

I'm thinking of going to an open mike concert, in Newtown, on Sunday evening. I'd like to play the two original tunes that I have been working on - The Accordion Lady and The Immigrants. The Accordion Lady is quite a tricky one, so I'll have to put in quite a bit more practice. I did 30 minutes of double practice yesterday. I have a couple of originals (well, four actually) on il contrabbasso that are sounding pretty damn good. Hey, but it's much easier to lug a violin to one of these concerts.

In a comment on my last post Robert gave me an English lesson.

"It's a gerund and is considered to be singular. If I bantered I would be having light hearted conversation once."

Yes, a gerund is a singular word BUT I can find no reference to 'banterings' anywhere. Boring bantering can be something you have a habit of doing, something that you do more than once. Bob's boring bantering CAN be a regular occurrence.

"People dancing are fun to watch." Should this be, "People dancing is fun to watch."? No, not necessarily.

Ah, why am I bothering? Unless Rob decides to become an English teacher, most people are safe. Though, judging from the bad grammar I see on Facebook, there is worse grammar out there.

Spell it however you want, Bob. Just go easy on the banter because your latest posts are a bit boring.

"A lot of you're posts are boring to Richard!
Get of your hi horse and support gay rights!"

Okay Rob, you've got me there.

Ciao tutti.
