Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.
The All Blacks and French want to play, so
Rain, Rain, go away!
Well, probably not everyone. Many years ago, I remember watching an All Blacks game with Shelley and she asked, "Which team are the All Blacks?" This wasn't one of those days when they were wearing white, as they sometimes do if they play another team with a dark uniform.
I suspect that Rob would rather listen to Hayden's cello concerto No. 2 than witness the All Blacks making Aotearoa great again.
At least, I know that Peter will be in front of his TV in his shorts and t-shirt, with his phone drying out by the heater and a glass of Cleanskin Chardonnay in his hand.

We had VERY HEAVY rain last night, but soon I'll deliver that paper to my elderly neighbour and get into some violin practice - long bows first. I'll try not to think too much about the All Blacks as I get my habits done. Hopefully I'll get an hour of double bass done too before we have to head out. Today is the 30th. anniversary of the Karori Op Shop. My daughter works there (it's all for free), as does my wife. My mother worked there too! I never have and never will, but that place has quite a family tradition. I'll see my oldest brother there because his wife works there too and is one of the organisers. Their older daughter works there too. I can't miss that!
Sorry, not much about what I'm practising was mentioned. Should I mention the tritone substitution? That's where you play Db F Ab Cb (B) instead of G B D F for the middle chord of a Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 progression. I don't think you'll hear this progression being used by folk musicians. It's really a jazz thing. It is actually very easy to do on a guitar or a bass guitar. It's pretty easy on a double bass too. Hey, but I'll leave the tritone substitution there for today.
In fact, I'll leave you there for today too.
Ciao tutti.

Nice to hear about the family business.
You guys, with Robert’s help could corner the market on church shops as well.
Hey, they've got a good condom dispenser at the Op Shop. Better than the one in the Catholic church.
I wonder what Robert’s doing right now.
I’m doing a glass of Sacred Hill The Wine Thief chardonnay 2023. Bloody delicious and then I’ll have a glass of … oh, sorry, I’m interrupting you watching the rugby. Go Black Ferns!
Fuck me!
The ABs just scored a try and it was from a foreword’s drive!
What’s that about?
I’m now on my second glass of Italian Primitivo in case you’re wondering.
Jesus! Sorry Robert. A bloody hooker getting a try*.
* I know Cody Taylor. He’s married to the daughter of and granddaughter of some guys I worked with. Nice guy and nice people.
Sorry about the ‘live’ commentary here but it’s an exciting game. Richard will be in bed by now and Robert would have to go to confession again if he watched ‘ silly men running about after a ball’ but hey! I’ve had at least 3 glasses of wine and I’m wired. Mea Culpa.
Crikey! The French scored a try - a converted try. What the fuck (sorry, in internet speak I should have written WTF!)
Richard's asleep by now, Sleep well old friend (and don't dream about banjos).
Robert will be up soon to go to work or to church or something but I doubt if he will check out the ABs on his TV. Mind you, if he did he would have missed seeing Cody Taylor almost scoring his second try. Just as well, not Robert missing but Cody, because well, we don't need rugby hooker getting big headed do we.
Damn. I'm into that fourth glass of wine. Don't tell The Old Girl.
Good ni … zzzzz
Goodnight, old fella. I'm still up.
Just tried out that chord progressions on mother's piano. I's nice, I wish I could understand why it works. My favourite woollen jersey I wear around the house this time of year game from the Karori op shop. Thanks mother.
