Cloud day.

 

Yesterday, on Sit around day, 

Shelley and I helped our daughter move into her new flat. Fortunately, we had two young men to do the heavy lifting. I drove a rather big van and took charge of loading and unloading it. Once you get comfortable, big vans and trucks are pretty easy to drive. 

Today I guess we'll do a bit of Christmas shopping. That'll include stocking up on a few Cleanskins.

Cleanskins are Peter's first choice for vino bianco and he's the wine expert, so I just follow him.

Robert has his friend down from Bowling, so there have been no posts from him this weekend. 

Christmas is very close now - three days to go after today! 

Christmas trees originally came from a Pagan tradition and, from what I read this morning, Jesus probably wasn't born on December 25th. Ah, but who really cares. Anyway, it's all that bird's fault for getting young Mary pregnant.

For those who didn't read my last post, that bird is the Holy Spirit.

I hurt my left hand playing the violin yesterday. It's possible that lifting stuff in yesterday's house move set it off. Anyway, I'll have to be very careful with it today. Remember that I've got that solo gig on the 24th. Ah well, I think quite a few people may not like my solo violin tunes, so here's to nothing. Still, I do want to get those pieces right AND there will be one guy there who really enjoys my playing.

I have a double bass rehearsal on January 2nd. and I've done VERY LITTLE double practice this year, so I'd better get into that too!

It's good to see a new post from TC, and I enjoyed his joke about chick flicks. The cartoon shows a man named Roger in bed with his attractive wife. 

She asks, "Fancy a bit?"

Roger, after too many chick flicks, replies, "Couldn't we just cuddle and talk about my feelings?"

Ha, ha, ha!

99.9% of the films I get to see with Shelley are chick flicks. She's not into action movies.

Fortunately, I call the shots in our marriage and decide what we do and what we watch.

Okay, that's about it from me. 

I just found out that my old friend Chris M reads my blog. Welcome Chris. I hope that leg gets better soon. xxx

Ciao tutti.
