Boxing Day sails

 


I can never understand why Boxing Day always has to be about bloody yachts and sailing ships


It's very wet in the Nui and I would have thought, if you had to do something today, you'd be better off going shopping.

Ah well. I certainly won't be out on the water. 

Actually, I think it all relates back to Jesus. 

He seems to have had a thing about water.

In reality, to walk on water, you'd have to be very light or have very wide feet that could function like a couple of boats.



Peter probably learnt about all this in 3P, while I was learning to sew in 3G. In 3P they spent most of their time learning how to be priests and talking in Latin. 

I didn't do any practice yesterday. I think that, instead of going out to watch the boats, I'd be better off doing some violin and double bass practice today. Obviously, I'll kick off with some long notes. 

This note is called a breve and
it is twice as long as a semibreve.

You don't see breves in modern Western music. I don't think that students were introduced to them in 3P. Peter could verify that, either way.

Well, that's it from me on this box sing day. There actually are a few boxes singing at our place as I write. That makes the day feel quite special.

Enjoy your day and remember that sinning was created by silly religions and is not worth worrying about.

Ciao tutti.

Ricorda che l'italiano è più utile del vecchio e sciocco latino.

I wonder what Robert’s up to?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

In what way?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Are you referring to the one true Catholic Church?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

That's a religion that made all people on this planet and then branded them all with 'original sin' because one person screwed up. The only way their god could see to correct this was to have a son and give him a rather dreadful death. Sick nonsense.

If I wanted to listen to a cracked record I'd have kept all my old vinyl.

Nothing new over on Robert's blog though. Maybe Ai has figured out a way for the characters in those PS shoot-em-up games to fire back through the TV screen.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Well, you did keep your old underpants.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Maybe Rob has booked a place on a cross?

Rob ha detto...

Not yet, but it would be quite fun to go 'cross to the South Island.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

The South Island is nice.
