Robert is back (big surprise) and tells us we're into day two of Lent.
"Today we continue 40 days of penance and cultivate a spirit of gratitude, recognizing God's gifts in our life." he tells us. He also left a comment on my last post saying, "Actually I found the laundry post more interesting than the shoulder rest bit...strange." Well, he is a cleaner and spends more time practising cleaning things, like toilets, than he does practising his violin.
Unless you're Robert, or (probably) Peter, the idea of whether or not you should use a shoulder rest when playing the violin is quite an interesting one. Probably a lot more interesting than hearing what some Catholic drongo gave up for lent. Chewing gum? Sex? Doughnuts? Using toilet paper?
Anyway, I think I'll continue on without a shoulder rest, though I can see advantages in both ways of playing. Ah, but no one is interested around here. Though, actually, I don't write these posts for silly old Catholics who stop using deodorant for forty days or people who post about the rooms in their house. Hey, I'm not that interested in what brand of toilet paper people choose, or what they store in their garage. Personally, I find the shoulder rest concept more interesting.
Ah well, there you go.
No work for me today, though I will be looking after my elder grandson later in the day. I might also get to help out with grandson number two.
Addio, lettori noiosi.

Well that was interest....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ah, go and write a post about putting things in your wardrobe.
I have to install the laundry door that had been taken off.
Bloody heavy and awkward thanks. I'll have no time for putting things in wardrobes let alone writing about them.
Try using a shoulder rest.
