It was my guitar that hurt my left hand and not my violin.

When people bump their toe on something or hurt one of their fingers, two common phrases you'll hear are, "Jesus Christ!" and "God Almighty!" To understand why this is we need to read Jim 7.
"Alimana had two sons, Manoah and Bumcover. Both boys were keen carpenters and, for some reason, refused to wear shoes. One day 888 visited their workshop. Bumcover said, "Hey 888, what's a good phrase to use when I accidentally bump my toe on a piece of wood or something?" 888 told him that he was often called Jesus when he preferred 888. He suggested that Bumcover use Jesus Christ, but he should say it with emphasis - "Jesus Christ!" Manoah asked if there were any alternatives. 888 replied, "When I'm angry with dad, I say "God Almighty!" Notice that I've built emphasis into that statement too."
When Alimana heard her sons using these two statements she was happy because she assumed they were praising two members of the Holy Trinity."

It's another cold day in the Nui. I heard it said that this is the warmest June we've ever had.
Che stronzata!
Oops, sorry about the Italian. That's bullshit!
Hey, Peter is wearing a jacket everywhere!
I've got to say that this is one of the better photos of Peter I've seen. It's almost up with this one.
Yep, Peter knows how to pose for a photo!
Rob, on the other hand, would have us all wearing barrels!
Weird!
I think this guy looks better in pants.
Hey, but I've already told you that.

Well, I guess that's enough for today.
Rob has a new closing statement, "Embrace your cross."
I think he's telling a lady named Embrace that she is angry.
I know, I know, he should have said, "Embrace, you're cross."
He could have even put a question mark at the end of that statement.
Oh, well, there you go, I'm just trying to help.
Ciao tutti.

Are you sure that Robert hasn’t taken up baking and wasn’t saying embrave your croissants?
No. I think I might know the lady he's talking about.
She is often cross.
She might be flakey.
Are you sure you're not thinking of cornflakes?
No - they are the sort of jokes you make - corny and flakey.
Nice with a bit of yogurt though.
Yort?
You two are a barrel of fun but my lady is not flaky nor cross. So there!
I guess that told us.
Saturday, getting close to 3pm. It's wet and cold. The Hurricanes are playing this evening. I won't be there, but I will be in spirit. I'm a bit tired today and some of my muscles are a bit worn out. I spent a large portion of yesterday tidying up a large part of our section.
I've read quite a bit lately about people going on about there only being two sexes.
Then I read an interesting article by a biologist who said that x and y chromosomes can turn up in quite a few different combinations. It appears that, in reality, it's not that simple. That makes sense to me.
Gosh, it's hard work typing on your phone.
I think I'll stop there. Ta ta for now.
Yes, I agree with you on the different combinations. It has always been this way but society, and particularly the Christian and Moslem religions buried their heads in the sand about it and shamed, ostracised and murdered people who were 'unlucky' to have different combinations. It's only now that sensible people take notice and show understanding and support . Not Christians and Moslems though. I don't know enough about other religions. Christianity and in particular Catholicism continue to show double standards by preaching love but practising hatred. Robert's caught up in this getting his 'feeds' from the Vatican propaganda machine via Sunday sermons. Shame.
Have a hot bath with Epsom salts ir Radox in it to soothe those tired muscles. I've just done that as I was tired and sore from collecting artwork from the lockup and transporting lots of heavy packs of paintings up into the attic.
Wine calls - some chardonnay and pinot noir I think to go with the small roast vegetable and schnitzel dinner I'm preparing. Lynn is in Melbourne this weekend.
Hey old fella
If you change your mind about going to the game you can park outside my garage.
It’ll save you a long walk to Mount Victoria.
I’m staying in and not going to the stadium. I only follow international sports.
Hurricanes 60 Chiefs 5!!!
Yes!
Sorry about not following up on that grab a coffee idea. I’ve brought another two carloads of paintings from the lockup and stored in the attic.I’m a bit stuffed now.
The lockup’s almost cleared out now with just a few things to store in the garage. The $250 a month savings might make a small, no, tiny dent in the spending Lynn is doing while shopping in Melbourne.
Mind you, she earns all the money so why not.
