Okay, I'll give you a clue. I'm sipping a cup of coffee as I write. I'm anticipating movement from one room in our house to another, sometime fairly soon.
I like Thursday because I don't have to go to work. Hey, I'm even a bit late writing this post because I'm not that long out of bed (The same size, actually.). Both Robert and Peter will have finished their posts much earlier this morning. I'll pop over and have a read of them both right now!
Whoops! Nothing from either of them!
Peter seems to have wasted money on that computer chair, and four computer chair mats.

Isn't it a pity that he couldn't find two matching chairs!
I don't know why Robert hasn't posted this morning. I know he gets up very early. I just hope, for his neighbours' sake, he wasn't practising that bloody Haydn cello concerto.
[It might nearly be time]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "aah".
In a band I played in, quite a few years ago, we used to call this song, "The Girl From Ipana."
[Still hanging in there]
While it is a song that got a bit overplayed in those 'background music' bands, I think it is a bloody good piece of music, and it is included in my repertoire. Jazz musicians play in in F, but it was originally performed in Db. Here is a comparison of the chords (A section and B section) in both keys. I haven't put in the duration of the chords.

[The coffee cycle is complete]
Well, there's a few chords to play around with. No need for thanks.
Hey, it's really worth having a listen to the original version of The Girl From Ipana with Astrud Gilberto singing. A great sound! A great song! Great singing!
Okay, I'm off. A little lighter, but off.
There are jobs to be done.
Ciao tutti.
