Good Saturday.

 Good morning Peter, and anyone else who looks at this blog.

Okay, perhaps that's being a little bit optimistic.

Cut all the crap about Gsus, today is a good day for me because I got through last night without spending half of it in the bathroom.

That's all thanks to a med I'm taking that you can't take all the time. Hey, I'll hopefully even be able to have a little breakfast a bit later. Well, I'm writing a post at the moment. I can't do both at the same time. 

I got 1 1/2 hours of practice done on Not Too Bad Friday. Not too bad at all! First thing today will be some more double bass practice. Yes, that's right, I have a potential solo concert coming up in late August playing both violin and double bass. Really the building up for the concert is the most important part. I'm sure that a lot of people might not like what I'm doing, but who cares? It doesn't really matter. Some people need to protect their own egos. I know people like that. Quite a few. No, I'm doing this for myself. To keep me moving forward. 

That was bad news about old Peter* losing his favourite biscuits. I hope he can score an Easter egg tomorrow. Maybe a sugar free Easter egg, or two, would do the trick?

Well, I'll sign off there for today.**

Sii gentile.

Ciao.

* He is quite a bit older than me.

** On a day that I can go to the supermarket!

Not Too Bad Friday.

 

Tim bumped into his old acquaintance Brian, and he was pleased to see him. "How's it going, Brian?" he asked. Brian replied, "Not too bad."

This phrase is used a lot, in places like supermarkets, when two people meet unexpectedly. It's a positive statement because it's really one up on, "My life is a mess!" It is also not as positive as, "Very good, thanks." which can be seen as a bit of a brag.

Well, supermarkets are closed today. Among other things, that means that you can't buy wine. I hope you stocked up yesterday! Many people will be happy because they don't need to go to work today. For others it will present a bit of an inconvenience. Especially when there is another 'supermarkets closed' day on Sunday.

The term 'Good Friday' may be overdoing things a bit, especially with all the problems going on around the world at present. I've heard a rumour that institutions, like the Roman Catholic Church, have got together and agreed to tone down the name from Good Friday to Not Too Bad Friday. I feel that this is a good decision.

Is there a direct link to God (the one true one) in music? Yes, there is.

In music there is a chord called Gsus, mostly referring to the chord Gsus4. This chord contains the notes G, C and D. Traditionally it would be resolved onto the chord with G B D (G major).

It is important, on Not Too Bad Friday, to spare a thought for Gsus. This is a chord that creates tension but then is resolved, sort of like Gsus rising from the dead a few days later and closing supermarkets again. Oops, sorry, I meant Jesus.

I have to take some new tablets, starting this morning, for 8 weeks. Hopefully they will quieten down my present issues.

As God said to Moses, "Don't forget to take the tablets."

I was told to take them with food. Okay, you probably know that food doesn't work too well for me in the morning. Is this like medical officials suggesting that a coffee might be a good idea too? Well, I suppose that would be one way to celebrate Not Too Bad Friday. I'll give it some thought as I write.

I started writing this blog in 2007. Soon after, two other people joined into this little blogging community. Nineteen years later we all get lots of comments from many different people. It seems that one of these bloggers has left.

There has been nothing on this blog for about a week. Okay, this blog often wipes all its posts, but I think it really has gone this time. Ah well, there's still one other blogger out there.

Peter (the other blogger) keeps us updated about rooms in his house, politics (sometimes), clothes he has that don't fit properly, golf and tennis. What an interesting mix! 

* * *

Well, that's just about me for Not Too Bad Friday. This should be a good day to get some practice done. Remember that the concept of sin is just Christian church bullshit. Just try and be nice to people.

Sii gentile.

Ciao.

April 1st.

 

"April Fools’ Day, in most countries the first day of April. It received its name from the custom of playing practical jokes on this day—for example, telling friends that their shoelaces are untied or sending them on so-called fools’ errands. A successful April Fools’ Day prank ends with the exclamation of the phrase “April Fool!” by the prankster."

It was great this morning to wake to such a great post by Peter. This new post has nothing to do with rooms in his house or clothing that doesn't fit properly or is a bit worn out.

He is making a big effort to choose topics that may be interesting to readers and promises to post more often.

Also, Robert is back posting and has promised to give all that biblical shit a rest. He also admits that the record of Catholic clergy, 14% up to 'no good' since 1950, is a disgrace to the church. He actually advises people to give the silly church a wide birth.

APRIL FOOL!
