Luke 1:8 Zechariah prayed to the Lord. He asked for a son. For the first time in our words of teaching God swore. "Sheesh!" he said, "What the shit! You're both too old!" The priests of Abijah tried to justify the Lord's words, but none of them could work out the word 'Sheesh!'. "Did he mean to mention sheep?" some of them wondered. "Did he also mean to say, "What a hit!"? The priests of Abijah decided to blame it on translation.
Luke 1:9 Elizabeth prayed to the Lord and asked for a virgin birth, but the Lord said that was just not possible.

So, I'm off to play Irish music and Jazz tonight on my violin (with backing tracks). We're staying the night, so there won't be a post in the morning. Maybe Peter could write one? He could just write one of those short ones, with a video and a picture. That wouldn't take him long. He'd only need to write a few words. Hey, here's an example he could just copy, if he'd like.

IT'S UP TO ME THIS MORNING
So, Richard is off on a sleepover. Inconsiderate of him really because he normally writes a bolg in the morning. Yes, I know, we'd be better off without his Wainuiomata attempts at humour.

Well, locally I am writing this blog to myself, now that Bob has disappeared again. Fortunately, I have many overseas readers.

Well, that should cvoer my obligations. I don't want to show him up too much, poor old 3G guy!

I put in two typos to make it realistic. Thanks, TC, for filling in for me.
Ciao tutti.

Good luck with the Irish jazz night.
Hey! Here's a joke for you.
Two deaf guys walk into a bar in Dublin.
One goes and gets a seat while the other orders two pints. "That'll be 30 euro please." Says the barman. "30 euro!" says the deaf guy. "Why is it so expensive?" "We've got live music on tonight" says the barman. "Oh." says the deaf guy. "What kind of music is it? Is it some rock and roll?" "No, it's not rock and roll" "Is it some Jazz?" "No, it's not Jazz" "Is it some Pop?" "No, it's not pop." "Well what is it then?" asks the deaf guy. "It's some Country and Western." says the barman. The deaf guy goes back to the table where his friend is sitting. "It was thirty euro for two pints!" he says to his friend. "30 euro!" says his friend. "Why is it so expensive?" "They've got live music on tonight" he replies. "Oh." says the friend. "What kind of music is it? Is it some rock and roll?" "No, it's not rock and roll" "Is it some Jazz?" "No, it's not Jazz" "Is it some Pop?" "No, it's not pop." "Well what is it then?" asks the friend.
"It's some cunt from Wexford."
That'd work okay in the Nui.
