Hi, P.Eater here.

| I've been happier. |
I'm trying to do a declutter job for our big shift to Moera. I'm looking forward to catching up with Robot. I'll probably also pop over to Wainuiomata to catch up with Rich Head, an old mate from 3M days. Actually, he only made 3R but let's not go there. He's done quite well for himself - and he's a folk musician. I was quite surprised to see that he knows about five chords on the guitar and also a couple of barre chords. He told me that he also knows one pentatonic scale that he can move around to different keys.
Anyway, my latest problem is this - I've discovered grasshoppers in the shed.
I went to our local hardware shop, Mitre 9, and found some insect bombs. I let a couple off in the shed. I'll go back and check the shed later today.
It's a holiday up here today. Something to do with dustmen needing a day off. Reminds me of Lonnie Donegan.
Now here's a little storyTo tell it is a must
About an unsung hero
That moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune
Others earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact he's flippin' skint
Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper nana
In his great big hobnail boots
He's got such a job to pull them up
That he calls 'em daisy roots.
etc.

We don't have nambly-pamby dustmen up here. They always collect the rubbish on the due day - Monday - whether it's a public holiday or not.
I might have to reconsider going to Wellington.
The post title puns are getting better. It's amazing what the threat of some competition can do. Maybe I should take up the double bass and violin.
"Maybe I should take up the double bass and violin."
Do you mean like a seamstress takes up a dress?
The bass would need to be fitted with a longer end pin. The violin strings would become higher.
Ours only collect rubbish on Mondays too. I wonder what they do for the rest of the week.
Maybe he means that he found them in the basement under some detritus and is thinking about taking them up to the dining room because the old gal is in the office.
