Okay, I've told you that my metronome only goes down to crotchet = 10,

but the metronome in your head can go as slow as you want it to.
How to use the metronome in your head:
You must get used to counting seconds in time. If this is giving you trouble, just set your metronome to crotchet = 60 and get used to counting seconds (Peter, there are 60 seconds in a minute - I'm not sure if they would have covered that in 3P). To count crotchet = 4 you simply count like this. Click 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Click 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Click 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Click 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. You'll notice that the time gap between clicks is quite big.
Now, at this point, you have to have faith in time. If you concentrate really hard, you can bring everything around you down to crotchet = 4. Yes, birds will fly slower, blowflies will appear quieter because they are not going so fast, those racy utes that are always driving up your bum will be going much, much slower than 50kph - it'll feel like all those powerful oversized vehicles have been replaced by Noddy cars.

I think I'm going to have to give you all time to digest that, so I'll change the subject.
It's Wellington Anniversary Day today and it is a holiday (No holiday in Whangarei) except that I'm on holiday anyway. I don't go back to work until early February. Actually, it's a holiday for Peter too because he doesn't have a job besides downsizing and making a bit of a nuisance of himself at the tip. I don't know about Robert because I've been shut out of his blog site. Maybe they have different rules in Moera?
Wellington Anniversary Day is not a holiday from violin and double bass practice. Actually, I really need to do some good double bass practice today. When I practised yesterday, my left arm felt sore from cleaning the house. I was practising Swing In, Swing Out, as I told you I would, but I just couldn't get comfortable with it. I love that word 'comfortable'. I always think, "Come for table." Hey, stay on topic, Richard (of RBB)!

Well, that's probably a good joke to leave you with. Peter can practise it up and use it when he visits Wainuiomata.
Ciao tutti.

It seems like transcendental meditation to me.
A doctor recommended that to us years ago. I've used it occasionally but Lynn practises it much more. It's good for when you're feeling stressed or just want to chill out from noise and hubbub around you. I used to 'TM' when commuting from Christchurch to Auckland on the plane twice a week back when I was working and still use it when doing things like sitting in waiting rooms of dentists, doctors etc.
Warning: don't do it while driving but you can do it if you're a passenger. It'll come in most handy if ever you are unfortunate enough to be on a Richard's Bass Bag Tour.
And then there were two.
Maybe Robert was invited to Trump's inauguration.
