Almost one week down in 2023.

Why is that important?

I mean, days just pass. Did the pope choose to be a Catholic? Probably not initially - he was just born into it.

Then he got to like dressing up.

I only mentioned the 'almost one week down' thing so that I could tell you about my practice. The first week runs from Sunday until Saturday - 7 days. My aim is to do ten hours of practice every week. So far, with two days to go, I'm sitting on 9 hours (4 1/2 on each instrument). If I do extra hours, I guess that's money in the bank. There are 52 weeks in a year so, if I am successful, I should achieve about 520 hours. It'll have to be quality practice to make the whole thing worthwhile.

Okay, I can sense that some readers might have had enough of hearing about my practice plan.

"Sheesh!"

There has been a storm up north and Peter is sitting at home bored out of his tree.

I just hope that his outside furniture is okay.

I wonder if Peter has a tree that he climbs out of when he is bored?

I estimate there will be at least two blog posts today.

On the other hand, Robert's posts are going backwards. The one with him holding his violin and dancing to disco music has disappeared. Maybe we need to see some posts of Peter dancing to cheer us all up. 

It's wet down here in Nuova Lazio but hardly stormy. I hope I haven't spoken too soon!

I'm off to do my practice - I think I'll start on the bass today.

Ciao tutti.
