March 2026. Traffic is held up heading south down Happy Valley Road. Drivers are becoming impatient as there are seldom traffic hold ups around lunchtime. The drivers at the front of the queue spot the problem. It is a trailer that looks like it is headed for the tip.
An old man is strapped to it, sort of like a horse, and is trying to cross into the tip road. He can be heard mumbling, "Sheesh!"
Well, I guess you don't need a car if you're living in an apartment. I guess he should have got rid of the trailer too.

So, how is everyone this morning? I hope you're all practising your Atomic Habits.
The Prowse Bros are all busy sending emails about Saturday's jam. That's where I read about Robert's tune 'Siting on the Toilet' which was meant to feature a certain cello sound. One could only guess that it was a fart sound.
Yes, I'm up early again and will head off to teach at about 7.30am. It'll just be violin today. I get there early so that I can get some of my violin habits done. I really enjoy practising my violin.
Robert hasn't posted for a while and his comments on other blogs are sparse. Hey, Peter got one comment on his last post and that was from me! I think that Catholics are into Lent. They're supposed to give up eating something. It's really not that hard when there are lots of things that you can eat. I'd give up mushrooms because I don't like them.

Yuck! |
The Prowse Bros seem to have calmed down about tritones. If I was going to get excited about something, I think it would be a Coltrane diminished lick that I have worked on. It sounds great over Dom7b9 chords and, of course, diminished chords. I won't show it here because I know that no one will be interested.
What else can I tell you?
I'll be looking after my two year old mate tomorrow. His mum is going to produce a brother for him really soon. Busy times for them, and I suppose for Shelley and I. All good though. Two little Prowses.
My new car is running well.
I managed to get the clock set right (one minute slow but I can live with that) and I've got the radio tuned into the National Programme. No mean feat, considering that all the instructions are in Japanese. Yes, it's a Japanese import. A good little car. I bought a smallish car so that Shelley would be comfortable driving it, but she finds it a little too big. What? It's just a little bit longer than her Vitz. I find both cars almost identical to drive. Ah well, she's happy driving the Vitz.
I guess I'd better leave it there for this morning. I'll empty the dishwasher and put the washing through. I might have a shower too. I've been to the toilet, but I didn't use the time to practise Robert's song. I know, I know, too much information.
Ciao tutti.

Why do you put the washing through the dishwasher?
Do you climb in for your shower as well?
Just asking for a friend.
You have friends?

Gosh, there are not many comments these days! I see that The Curmudgeon only has one on his latest post. Robert isn't really around these days. I'll try to encourage some of my Auckland friends to comment.

Hi, my name's Rick and a friend thought I might enjoy reading the blogs around here. So here I am to give it a go. A little about me, I live in Auckland and I'm thinking of becoming a Catholic. I see that one of your bloggers is a Catholic. Does he post much? I've just left the same message on The Curmudgeon's blog.
Cheers.

Nice to meet you Rick. Welcome to our little blogging community.

If he's ever around, Robert (see our LINKS service) can advise you on the Catholic thing.

Thanks. I left a comment on his blog.
Rick Tim
Good luck.
