What's new on the blogs?

 Nothing from Peter.

Big surprise! NOT.



Some silly shit from Robert.

Big surprise! NOT.




I've been playing my travel violin for the last three days. It's sounding pretty good and works well with that new chinrest. I've just decided to add Nature Boy to my eight unaccompanied violin tunes that I practise every day. That makes nine. Three originals, four jazz tunes, an Irish medley and OBS. That's enough to play unaccompanied for at least 45 minutes. Probably more like 50 minutes, by the time I blow my nose between tunes.

I'm heading out soon, so that will have to do for today.

Divertitevi e non preoccupatevi del peccato.

Ciao tutti.

OK. Enjoy heading out but hold on to it. You don’t want to end up like that guy in Robert’s parable,

Good advice.

I'm assuming that was a Northland joke. They did better ones at 61 Garden Road, in a different Northland.

I suspect that Peter might settle in Newlands.

A big big day here for us overseeing cleaners ( they did a damned good job Robert and the Old Girl’s prior cleaning helped to keep them on track for the more difficult stuff)and doing last minute clearance.
The house looks magnificent as we hoped and the new owners will be happy with the price they paid.
We made an effort to have things repaired and put in good order before the changeover, leaving useful items like matching paint, garden tools, hoses, some he furniture and fridges they liked and … lightbulbs, good quality toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, official council rubbish bags, some cleaning materials, champagne and sparkling wine glasses in the fridge … you know, welcoming things.
We leave tomorrow knowing that we’ve done our best.
I’m tired as is The Old Girl’s and she has to go to work in Wellington tomorrow.

To explain the earlier comments about cleaning and toilet paper in the previous post I’m aware that some miserable scrotes not only leave a house dirty but take away everything not nailed down.
Maybe, in Robert’s world we gained some indulgences to get us out of purgatory.

I stay her to hand over the keys after I take Lynn to the airport and then drive to Wellington arriving Friday midday.
