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.

What's tomorrow - I'm feeling better Saturday?
Good luck with the tablets and keep away from that coffee.
It's not a good Friday for me.
The Old Girl found my stash of apricot and yoghurt biscuits I hid in the pantry.
Oh no!!!!
Father, forgive her for, although she does know what she's doing, truly I tell you, today I'll be in paradise if I can get my hands on the biscuits.
Woman, be nice and let me have some biscuits.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Give me some bloody biscuits.
Thanks for that but now I'm thirsty. I know, I know, the sugar in the biscuits causes that but it could be worse - I might have had coffee with them.
The biscuits are finished so Father, into your hands I'll commit my spirit if she finds out.
Sinner!
No more comments. Ah well. I'll do some more bass practice.
Be careful unless you are a qualified OB-GYN.
How are those new pills working out?
When I say “working out”I don’t mean … well, you know.
I know that they have been to the gym, if that's what you mean.
They're good. I've had them before. I've got two months worth. Bliss.
Minto.
Unverich.
