Oh, Lady Be Good!

It is 7.48pm in Tunisia.


Exactly 12 hours behind Wainuiomata. Soon be night there. Morning here.

I'm going to have a coffee. It could lead to an extra trip to the bathroom, but who cares?

[Makes a coffee.]


Sweet G B!

I tidied up my lawns yesterday, after telling my new lawn mowing man that I wouldn't need him anymore.


He did well on the deal and I didn't give his company any negative press. Now I'm back to cutting my lawns. I'll do a much better job than him.

Nature boy.

My practice felt good yesterday. I was pleased with my tone.

Manhã, tão bonita manhã.

In this country trains have generally had names like 'The Auckland Overnight Express'. We have never had more imaginative names. For example, I've never heard of 'The Kiwi Fruit Flyer' or 'The Cleanskin Special'.


I have a tune in my repertoire about a train. Hey, but you won't be interested.


[Hey, so far the coffee has stayed up!]

[Though, maybe not for much longer.]

[Actually, it's time. Back soon.]

[Back, with much less coffee inside.]


It is now 8.33pm in Tunisia.

That's it - fine (as in finish).

Be good and don't sin. Oh, Lady Be Good!

I never travelled on the Orange Blossom Special but have been on the Napa Valley Wine train. I don't think a song has been made of that though.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

"I went travelling with Brian,
Through wind and rain.
We had a glass or two of wine,
On the Napa Valley train."

We used to sing that in 3G, in 1966.
