Last Post.

 No, this won't be the last time I am posting. The title refers to the fact that I have already played The Last Post twice this morning.

That's not me, but I played the same tune.

One more to go - the big one, where people march past and a guy goes on and on about God.

"Thank God for all the wars."

I don't know why God gets a mention. See how I used a capital G. That shows I'm talking about the 'real' god and probably not Zeus. 

This year my practice paid off. Two performances and I didn't crack any notes! I did a lot of work on pitching and breathing. I think I'll keep practising the trumpet throughout the year. It's kind of fun.

Hey, I got a comment from 'Rob' on my last post! He told me that 'transgender' is a big word and that Tent Horn isn't a fan of it.

"RBB used a big word 'transgender', so I looked it up: 'A person whose gender identity is different from what they were assigned at birth'.
Evidently some children in the USA are believing that they are trans-species, and that they are really cats and dogs! (Tent Horn podcast)." said Rob in his comment.

I took the liberty of adding a couple of spaces to Rob's comment. Proofreading IS important. Oh, and I corrected the spelling on Tent's name.

I actually have two close relatives who are transgender. Two people who I love very much. It seems to me that they are being what they need to be. One of them is in her late fifties, no kid. Tent can go suck his own horn for all I care. I had a boss who was transgender, and I can tell you that he is much happier as a man.

It's now 7.12am and my two female flat mates are asleep, so music practice is not possible. I guess I'll just write on. Peter won't be up yet.

Peter in bed.

Peter's last post was written under the name of The Happy Curmudgeon.

However, he starts writing, "Hello readers.
I thought that a post from the Happy Curmudgeon is in order after that rather dire one from The Darker Curmudgeon yesterday.
I'm happy today - how are you all going?"

Is that The Curmudgeon or The Curmudgeon talking? I honestly don't know.

Anyway, then he (whoever he is) gets onto food.

"It's a smoked salmon and cream cheese pizza with red onion, capers and Feta. I'll further experiment tonight but think I've got the recipe right. I promised to make it for The Old Girl when she gets home in a few weeks time."

Is The Happy Curmudgeon in a relationship with 'The Old Girl' too? Well, the bad grammar (a few weeks time - should be 'a few weeks' time') suggests that The Curmudgeon (aka Peter) is still writing.

Anyway, it is probably the most boring post you could read. Maybe The Happy Curmudgeon is happy for his boss to take the 'credit' for this one?

Well, that's just about it from me. 

Though I still have time to fill in.

Maybe I'll read a bit of Italian.

Ciao tutti.
