Me waking up and reading Robert's latest blog post.

 

Richard thinks, "But whales can't swallow humans!"

Okay, I've gotten into this habit. I wake around 5am, after a lot of sleep, and the first thing I do is check for blog posts. I know there won't be anything from the 3P boy, so I check Rob's blog first.

Then I get up at about 5.30am, visit the bathroom, and then make a coffee. After that I head to my computer. Writing a post is a nice way to wake up. 

I think Rob was having a bit of fun with this morning's post, so maybe it shouldn't be taken too seriously. He does mention Jonah being swallowed by a whale, but I think we both know that is impossible. Check it out online (whales and their ability to swallow people) if you're not sure about this.

There are at least three grammatical mistakes, but I get mentioned in the post, as does the 3P boy. Well, at least, I got something to read after waking up. Thanks, Rob.

To be fair, the 3P boy did leave a comment on my blog offering help. 

"I would have left the 3P classroom door open for you back in the day but we who were numbered 1 to 10 were against the wall (where the windows and view were) at the opposite side of the door. I was number 5 and Tony was number 6 if that helps."

Actually, that was 59 years ago, and I don't possess a time machine. Thanks for thinking of me though.

I only got 2 1/2 hours of violin practice done yesterday, but it was good practice. I managed to sort out a few problems with The Orange Blossom Special, among other things. My best mate Harrison popped around in the morning, hence the lost practice time. You'll remember that I'm working towards playing two pieces at a concert next Sunday. Goals like this are good to keep you focused. I'm back at work tomorrow, so that'll make getting three hours done a bit hard, but I'll certainly do my best. At least, in my job, I've got a violin in my hands for most of the day. I try to pass on what I learn to my students. One thing is for sure, tone and intonation are everything. I'll stress this tomorrow. Okay, there ARE other important things too. A practice plan is certainly important. Maybe Rob should worry less about whales and more about doing some good practice. I know that the 3P boy won't be practising his bagpipes. "That's for damn sure." to quote Jack Reacher.

Two more days before the 3P boy finds out about his house sale. Let's hope it all goes well for him. Remember that he needs to be in Wellington in November for that RBB Tour he has booked.

Take Note.

It is slowly starting to get light in the Nui. I can hear birds chatting outside my window. My next four jobs are, have something to eat, take my pills, revisit the bathroom and deliver my elderly neighbour's paper to her door. I might also have to squeeze in a shower and a shave. 

Have a good day and try not to get swallowed by a whale.

"Boy! That's far too big to eat!"

Sii gentile.
