I see that Rob took Peter's advice and returned to a long, silly name.
Was Peter's advice good advice? I don't really think so. |
I had a change yesterday, something I haven't done for about 35 years.
Can you guess what I did?
Is it to do with music? Was it something to do with work? Did I give up drinking Cleanskins? Did I start growing a moustache? Am I now wearing shorts and a t-shirt everywhere, just like Peter? Have I changed Richard's Bass Bag* to something silly like 'Richard the bassist and violinist and occasional trumpet player who sometimes, through necessity, has to clean the toilet at home and always does the vacuuming'?
Have a think. I'll ramble on for a while to give you some breathing time.
I have an important gig on Wednesday. It's a jazz gig in Wellington. I'll be playing double bass and maybe a couple of violin numbers.
We have a late practice in Wellington tonight, so the pressure is on. The traffic into Wellington, around 5pm and 6pm, is very bad at the moment, so I'll have to allow about 1 1/2 hours to get to where I need to be.
Okay, okay, I hear you. You're waiting impatiently to hear about my change.
Here goes...
I changed a nappy yesterday and, yes, it was poo.
My son and his wife picked up some food poisoning and were not well, so Shelley and I spent most of the day looking after our grandson Harrison. It stood to reason that, sometime, in the 7 hours we were 'in charge', he'd likely 'use the bathroom'.** Sure enough he did. Shelley held him down a bit and used a toy to distract him from endeavouring to get his hands in on the action. I went to work. Like a lot of things in life, the process came back to me quickly. Harrison seemed happy with the result.
Mission accomplished!
I've got to admit that it was fun spending so much time with him. It's amazing watching his development and his interaction with us.
Let's hope that his parents have a speedy recovery, but I'm standing by today - just in case.
Another nappy change? Ah, all in a day's work!

** in this case the bathroom would be a nappy

I was almost right.
I thought the change might have been about you changing your underpants.
There you go.
If this was Rob's AI blog, that comment could get deleted.
Anyway, I change my undies every four months - whether they need changing or not!
What do you have in common with those nappies?
Please tell me TC.

You're both full of shit.
At least I don't fight with Roger.

Gosh, Richard (of RBB), the comments are building up!

Nothing from Rob the the the the though.

I apologise for the scatological comment I made earlier. It was unseemly and below my usual standards.
Maybe I can contract Robert to say a few Hail Marys and some other stuff for my atonement. I can pay him in blogging accolades of his choice.
Do you mean Robert the branch?
Richard (of RBB)
This is a first!
Richard of Richard's Bass Bag - the blogger so desperate for comments that he writes most of them himself - deleting real comments from readers!

I’ve got a cleaner coming in today.
A house cleaner.
I might write a post about it later. At least Robert might be interested even if there’s no mention of Trent Horn or god which he probably thinks is the same thing.
