JAC

 


It appears that, when he shows up, he will be Jewish - JAC.

Robert tells us, "The real Anti-Christ will be of Jewish descent evidently."

I don't know how he knows that. Maybe someone mentioned it in The Bible? Hey, that Netanyahu guy could qualify. There again, though, God hasn't done anything to stop his killing. I'm talking about the Catholic 'all loving' God there. The same guy who bestowed Original Sin on everybody then the only way he could get rid of it was by having part of himself crucified. Come on, there must have been simpler solutions! "I am God. Go away sin!"

I think I'll go over my 6th/5th double stops on violin today. All keys, of course! I woke up this morning and thought of Dm6. Why is it made up of D F A B and not D F A Bb? Well, for whatever reason (maybe because it sounds good), it is taken from the notes in the Dorian mode. The Dorian mode is the second mode of C major - D E F G A B C D - D minor with a #6. Ah well, I can't find any good answers for this online, so I'll go with my own. 

It's a nice day in the Nui. Yesterday I tidied up one side of our drive where a quite big plant was getting out of control. I think I'll leave the section alone today. Those little yellow daisies are growing everywhere in the Nui. You cut your lawn and, in about two or three days, they're back and TALL! Ah well, I think that bees like them.


Buon compleanno Lynn!

It's Peter's partner's birthday today. I hope that Peter has something nice planned for her. Happy birthday, Lynn.


Ciao tutti e tanti auguri a Lynn.

Thanks - I'll pass your best wishes on to Lynn.
I bought her a birthday card and this morning reminded her that she also got a townhouse for her birthday. Lucky woman.
We just visited it for a final inspection and take over next Tuesday. I will spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ferrying boxes from the Newlands lock up to the garage in the new place while Lynn unpacks things. I want to clear out as much small stuff from the two lock-up garages we are renting so as to make the way clear for the removal guys to pick up the big boxes and furniture on Saturday 17th. I will probably hire a Hiace type van on Thursday for the bulk of this.

Hey, I'm happy to come and help you move those boxes. I'm not as strong as I used to be, but I helped my daughter move recently. It could be like Murray Roberts all over again. "Dickery dickery dobbits, I'm the man from Murray Roberts..."

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Thanks I appreciate that but I am worried about your health.
Maybe I'll give you a call to see how you are next week.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I can handle it. "I'll deliver your grog, you can drink like a hog. I'm the man from Murray Roberts."
It's easier when there's two of you.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

OK thanks. I'll hire a van for Thursday 15th. It'll be like old times.



Or, old timers.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

You're on, old timer.

Rob ha detto...

You seem to load a lot of culpability onto God. When you were driving the Murray Roberts truck and a pellet of beer slid off onto the road did you blame God for that or the idiot that took the corner too fast and/or hadn't strapped the load on correctly?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

In parable style, god would be the dispatcher at the wine and spirit delivery outlet and be ultimately responsible for checking the load and signing out the driver. In this case yes, god is culpable.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

AND God invented Original Sin and then had to go to extreme lengths to get rid of it. All over biting a bloody apple. Sheesh!

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I hope that Adam and Eve didn't have sex as, being unmarried, according to Robert they would have been fornicators and adulterers.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Well, I think they did. Shit!
