That makes life a bit harder for birds and worms and flies.
I'll need to cut my fingernails today before I do any practice.
My goal for 2023 is to complete at least 10 good hours of practice every week. I'm also aiming for 50% bass & 50% violin. That'll be tricky when we're away from home because I can only take the violin.
I'm sitting on seven hours for this week, with three days to go. The rain helps because I can't do jobs outside.
The weather has been very wet up in Whangarei. I know this because Peter keeps writing about it. At least the rain up there rules out garden posts and trip to the tip posts and golf posts.
Though, the old chap does like to link up to old posts.
Shoosh! I hope he doesn't do that!
I went up to Himatangi yesterday with my son.

We had two weed eaters and we cut a lot of very long grass. We also sorted out a few other things. It was nice to catch up with Giorgio. It was very hot in Himatangi.
I see Robert is now working on a different Paganini Caprice.

He says, "Somewhere in Caprices I to VII is the instruction on how to play the first variation. I only have the later caprices." He's talking about no. 24 when he mentions the first variation.
So, he has started on no. 8.
"That's like saying I should only read the last chapter of a book!" he said when I said that he should keep working on no. 24 because he'd already started working on that.
Okay, but he won't get back to that 'first variation' until he's about 78. Variation 1 of no. 24 is all about arpeggios, and a bouncy bow. Why not just work on playing arpeggios around the violin? Then he could work on the bouncy bow.
Nope. Ah well, he can play whatever he likes. I hope he has fun.
Well, it's time to get a bit of practice done. I'm not sure which instrument I'll start with yet. Mustn't forget to cut those nails! I wonder if TC is up yet?
I wonder if he really wears that cap to bed?
I'm sure he'd take his glasses off.
Ciao tutti.

If the rain in Wellington is as bad as it is in Whangarei (of Biblical proportions) I'd start building an ark if I were you. Either that or waterproof that double bass (the fiddle could be used as a paddle).
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
"Don't rain on my parade".
Shelley just said to me, as I read your nonsense, "I'll see you when I see you."
Shoosh!
Go outside and belt it out then you could be "singing in the rain".
Shoosh!
Look, well done for your attempt at creativity - you do your best - but I need to point out to you that 'sheesh' is a soft alternative to the blasphemous use of 'Jesus' and 'shoosh' is nothing at all unless there is some deity named Joosus.
Other examples of soft or euphemistic versions of blasphemy are 'crikey' for Christ, 'zounds' for God's wounds, 'odd's botkins' for God's body and 'holy mackerel' for Holy Mary. I hope that this is helpful to you.
Actually, 'shoosh' is a euphemistic version for 'Zeus'. I thought they'd teach you that in 3P!
Zeus was a very special god. He even swallowed one of his wives whole. Now, that's some god!
Nice try Sparky but I like that Zeus and the wife thing. I wonder what wine he matched her with?
Selaks Taste Collection Buttery Chardonnay 2021.
You would have learnt about that in 6P.
Beaune white Burgundy I would have thought.
'That'? I'm not sure. Is it a dairy product or something perishable?
You're a funny guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about a late in life career in stand up comedy here. Best to stay in your seat at social gatherings. Social gatherings, unlike your blog readership, are when at least ten or fifteen people are present.
