Well, after five years I'm back using a shoulder rest on my violin. It has taken a few hours to get things settled, but now we're back in business, my violin and me. I won't bore you with the details.
Here's a question that priests (teachers) used to ask, when some of them weren't trying to fiddle with boys (nothing to do with playing the violin), at a Catholic secondary school I attended. "Can God make a rock so big that even he can't lift it?"
What were they trying to prove? Obviously, that steps out of the bounds of logic, just like faith in a god does. Hey, Catholics like to offer proof of their beliefs. I just haven't seen or heard any yet - and I am getting old, but not as old as Peter.
That's it. I'm off.
Sii gentile.
FOOTNOTE...
I practised for a long time with the shoulder rest and it has gone again. Better without, methinks.

Yes, you are off but posed a good question.
Maybe all the competing gods could get together for some sort of games like the Highland Games. They can compete against each other by creating really big rocks and seeing if they can lift them. No doubt the gods who reside in volcanic areas would have the advantage as they could lift really big bits of pumice stone.
Go Rūaumoko
Okay, I practised for more than two hours with a shoulder rest today, but it has gone again. Back to my old way - no shoulder rest. A good result.
Nice to hear.
How’s the truss working out?
Have you any other surgical devices to report on?
