Friday and I've slept in a bit.

 I woke up and read the boy's latest posts on my phone in bed. (It is now 7.28am.)

Robert didn't say much. Here's a summary.

  • Mary was originally called Mirjam. I wonder if she came in a jar with a label?
  • He is going to drive to Taupo.
  • He doesn't really know what he'll do when he gets there.
  • He intends to go back to bed for a bit longer.

Peter's latest attempt seems to be based on my post 'What's it all about Alfie?' where I talk about listening to my boring neighbour. Peter talks about taking his boring neighbour to tennis. Ah well, it gave him something to write about.


It is violin practice for me this morning. Yesterday I did some work on tone. I also practised playing close to the bridge. I found that sometimes I don't take enough care with placing my third and fourth fingers. This can give you notes that are a bit squeaky. I've worked on that and will continue to do so. Hopefully I'll get a couple of hours done before I have to go and pick Shelley up from 'Balance'. That's a fitness thing that she does at our local library. Then we're off to find a new rug for our living room. Exciting times in the Nui!






Well, that's it from me.

Actually, I think I'd better do some double bass practice this morning too.



Don't worry about silly concepts, like a Christian god and sin.

Sii gentile.

"I also practised playing close to the bridge."

Didn't your mother tell you not to play near the bridge? There might be trains and no doubt you're scared of trains.

Get an 'Oriental' carpet. They wear well and don't show nasty stains.

See this old post I wrote (the images got deleted when I was in Toronto for some reason).

Oops, I thought you said Persian.
