No Comment.

 The down side of starting a new post is that you know you'll have to build up your comments again.

Back in the days before Trent got into kick boxing and ram raiding, Robert used to hang onto his every word. Trent told him how abortion was bad but, once they were born, you didn't need to worry so much about kids. Trent had also told Robert that comments were sinister and evil. Then Trent took up knife fighting and he fell from grace. Even today Robert is not known for leaving many comments.

For Peter it's swings and roundabouts. On those days when he's bored and hasn't been out picking fights at the tennis club he is prone to writing lots of pointless comments. Robert's blog is Peter's favourite place to comment. I think he really likes Robert's ideas on the world, politics and life in general because you'll often find him over there leaving lots of comments. It's obvious that he learns a lot from reading Richard's Bass Bag* because he'll leave simple comments that say things like, "That was great!" or "So, what strings did Paganini use?"

I've taken today and tomorrow off work. We're heading up to Martinborough tomorrow to spend a couple of days (and nights) with friends in a rented house. I'll take my violin so that I can run through some Paganini and a bit of jazz. I'm building up the 9th variation (of Caprice 24) that features left hand pizzicato. Some of my fingers have been a bit sore lately and I'm not sure if that is caused by practising Paganini or playing with my phone too much. Maybe it's just part of getting old.

Miss-spelling, silly errors and difficulty with grammar seem to feature as an important part of Peter's and Robert's blog posts. Neither old man seems interested in proofreading. For example, they both struggle with knowing the difference between 'to' and 'too'. Maybe, at their age, they're too old to learn new tricks.

Well, that's it from me for today.

Ciao tutti.
