They were too busy. I suppose the boys must be too.

What happens when your hairdresser is busy too often.

Another stimulating morning on the blogs?

 Good morning. I think I'll get a haircut today. Before that I'll have a peanut butter toasted sandwich, I'll have a shower and I'll take my pills. Hey, I know that doesn't sound very exciting but what else have you got to read on the blogs this morning? Rob briefly told us about a book he was reading and paying his accountant for sorting out his tax return. Peter's last effort, if you can call it that, was yesterday when he handed us over to his 'Agony Aunt'. 

Boar ring.

Obviously I'll be doing some practice today. I only managed one hour on each of the last two days. Going to work and then picking up my elder grandson took up quite a bit of my time. I'll try to make up for it today. I'd better get some double bass practice in there too.

What else can I tell you?

Hang on, I'll make that toasted sandwich first. 

Done and dusted.

[I'll add a bathroom visit to that list of things to do this morning.]

Okay, there is really nothing more to tell you, so I'll get this day underway.

Ciao.

Really no time to post this morning.

 Though, I must say that a comment by Rob on my last post has disappeared.

A post, but not my blog post.

STRANGE.

Hey, I know his blog disappears a lot. Maybe this is just a minor version of that?

Well, I'm off to work on this cold morning. I have pills to take and I need a shave, and possibly a bathroom visit. I've just had a peanut butter sandwich.

Have fun but develop a good set of morals that have nothing to do with sin.

Ciao.

The day starts with a banana toasted sandwich.

 I'm up and cold. I got dressed fast and have the heater on full.

Lovely.

I got two hours of practice done yesterday. I've been doing quite a bit of work on diminished scales and arpeggios. I've also run over the two whole tone scales. Yes, there are only two. Just like there are only three diminished arpeggios and three diminished scales for playing over dominant 7th chords and three diminished scales for playing over minor chords. These sounds give lovely character to a solo. 

I don't think that Robert likes me replacing the c**t word with Catholic. He said, in one comment, "As Phillip Jenkins said in 2003 anti-catholicism is the "last acceptable prejudice"." Okay, maybe I'll have to find another word. 'Benedict' would work because he certainly was a c**t. What Catholics forget is that, through their clergy, the Catholic church has done a lot of harm. I'm talking about hands up little boys' pants, etc., etc. I remember some very sadistic nuns too.

I'm off to work soon. I didn't sleep well last night, but I'm up early because it was cold in bed. 

Ciao tutti.

Here we are again...

Happy as can be.

All Good friends and

Jolly good company.

The heater is on. I've seen that Rob has posted and Peter hasn't. That's what I'd expect to see.

Rob tells us he's up early, "... to clean the creche which RBB says isn't a kindergarten." I didn't actually say that. There are childcare centres and kindergartens. Quite a few of these places fulfil both functions. Ah well. He also tells us, "Those in purgatory desperately need our prayers." I don't know how he knows who is in purgatory. He has got to be guessing. Never mind. 

Rob also left a comment on Peter's blog saying, "Did you hear me beep at 12.40? I drove passed to show K your house." Rob, you drove past Peter's house, and there you are criticising (in a comment) my lack of vocabulary! Gsus!

I practised for two hours yesterday. Not too bad. 1/2 an hour on the double bass and 1 1/2 hours on the violin. I won't tell you what I practised because I know that no one is really interested.

Moving on.

No gigs coming up but the PBs are having a play on Sunday. Oh, yes, I told you about that in my last post. What else have I got to tell you? Nothing really. I really need some biblical quotes like Rob likes to drop into his posts.

Derek 23:7 Gsus was walking through a town and he spotted a group of people praying. He walked close to them and listened. "Lood, please save the people in Purgatory and don't send them to Hell." "Who is Lood?" Gsus asked. "He is a fourth person who missed out on getting into the Blessed Trinity. He's the older brother of God the Son." a man told him. "Well, that would make him my older brother and I've never heard of him." said Gsus. The people ignored him and carried on praying. Gsus walked on, looking for someone else to bother.

I hope you enjoyed that biblical quote. I hope you learned something from it. 

What a wonderful chord the dom7b9 chord is! Oh, that's right, you're not interested.

Hey, I feel like a banana toasted sandwich. I should eat something before taking my pills. It might mean another trip to the bathroom, but what the hell!

I was told, at Peter's place on Saturday, that I'm not allowed to use the 'c' word. I'm talking about the word that has 'u' as its second letter. I think it is troia in Italian. I did get called tonto when I was in Italy. That's pretty close too. 

Okay, okay, I've run out of things to say.

I think I'll leave it there for today.

I'll go and make that banana toasted sandwich and take my pills.

Ciao tutti.

No coffee this morning.

 Today is Rest The Bathroom Day.

RTBD

It was great to see Peter and Lynn yesterday. They have plenty of bathrooms, so it was a relaxing visit. Thanks guys. I found a good park too!

Today is Mother's Day. I always think that it should be Mothers' Day because there are a lot of mothers out there. I gave Shelley a gift, even though she is not really my mother.

I must make sure that I get some double bass practice done today. I only did half an hour's practice on my violin yesterday. Ah well, that sort of makes it like a rest day. I'll endeavour to make up for it today. I probably should record my six original double bass unaccompanied pieces, not that anyone really cares. Well, I do. Recording is a very good form of practice. You certainly find out what you need to work on. 

The PBs are having a play next Sunday. I'll take my violin. There will already be basses at Daryl's place. He has converted his large garage space into a music room. It'll be interesting to see the finished product. It has been functioning as a music room for quite a while, but he has put in some finishing touches. 

Well, that's it from me for this morning. Hey, I forgot to tell you that Lynn and Peter have some amazing art on display in their residence. I didn't see anything that I didn't like! Well done, you two.

Oh, and judging by the comment he left on my last post, I think that Robert wants it known that he does believe in sin and will continue going to confession. Ah well, that's his problem. 

Ciao tutti.
