| This is Bowser. |
Bowser was named in the tradition of most dogs in English speaking countries. His name begins with a capital letter - no one thinks of him as 'bowser'. A bowser is traditionally a petrol pump in a service station but, these days, there are comic characters who share this name, but with a capital letter.
Dogs are often named by their colour - Cocoa or Inky. A black dog with a white spot is often named Spot. Always with a capital letter.
Okay, that's enough about dog names.
I played a bit of golf today. I got a set of old clubs together and headed to Berhampore. My first job was to find some gold balls as I forgot to bring some.
As I climbed down to the stream where people tend to lose golf balls, I thought about how I would never turn up at a double bass or violin gig without rosin. Then I remembered that golf is Peter's thing and I haven't 'played' the game since the 1970s. I'd just let my mind wander.
It's funny how your mind wanders when you are tired, and I am tired tonight - it has been a very funny day but I won't tell you about it right now. Instead I'll end with a couple of quotes.
"In a day there is really only one day but it is sort of divided into segments. It starts dark and it ends dark. This is really just to do with the movement of our planet, so please don't read anything deep into it." Bert Gettothepoint.
"Bananas are yellow, oranges are orange but grapes are not grape." Ben Notsosmart.
Ciao tutti.

Is Bert a saint? He should be with wisdom like that!

Ah, I always love reading Ben Notsosmart's thoughts. What a master of making simple but deep statements!

No, commento critico.
What did you learn?
Ma mi ne frega una sega.
Parli merda. Non capisci la differenza del un'altra lingua. Tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare. Ma mi ne frega una... sega? Sì. Esattamente.
Isn't Google Translate wonderful when you can't speak a language!
A question would be followed by a question mark. That would inform you that it was a question, along with a bit of relevant grammar.
My other statement regarding people who use Google Translate to give the impression that they speak a language was cynical - hence the word choice.
Looks like it's a hot old time in the Hutt Valley.
Get out the cleanskin chardonnay and the Speight's beer.
How about a new post so that I can comment on it without facing that hurdle you created - "Please leave a comment if you enjoyed this post."
By the way, by commenting this time is no admission that I enjoyed the post. OK? I'm well aware of 'Catch 22' conundrums.
Oops, I just realised that I had commented earlier - last night -but my excuse still stands.
Nuts!
Sorry but I've had a lot of stuff going down this week. Pretty serious stuff. I'm finding it hard to get upset if Robert talks in Google Latin or if TC didn't enjoy this post. Hang in there boys, I'll be back soon to lift the standards in this little blogging community.
Give me a call if you want to talk.
Grazie ma tutto bene. Qualche settimane sono molto interessante.*
* no Google Translate was used to write this comment
As my schooldays Latin failed to shed light on the comment, Google translate had to come to the party. I'm afraid that I'm none the wiser (not a usual saying amongst the 3P guys) but hope all is OK. See you on the ZOOM tomorrow.
That was Italian.
Which explains why Latin didn't really help.
