Yes, I'm in front of the heater again.

 


I've received a message from Rob saying that his flight to Wellington will now be much later. He says he'll get a taxi. He doesn't say what time he's arriving. I can't find arrival times online.


It was nice to have Peter pop around yesterday. However, I don't think he'll be interested in the latest diminished thing I'm working on. I'm talking about the violin here. If I get this thing working, it could be quite spectacular. It's really an extension on something I've been doing for a while. Okay, okay, I'll keep it to myself.

I also had my younger grandson pop in yesterday. What a cute little chap! Obviously, he came with daddy because he's not driving yet. Nor is he up to walking from his place. His name is Henry and he is not quire 14 months old. He reaches that milestone on June 15th. He can stand up and crawl very fast. What a guy!

I really have nothing else to tell you.

I guess I should go and take my meds.

At least it seems that the rain has stopped in the Nui. Maybe I'll be able to go for a walk today. I'll certainly be working on those diminished ideas too. Yes Rob, I'll try not to sin. Actually, all that sinning stuff is a pile of nonsense!

Oggi sarò felice se riuscirò a stare al caldo.

Ciao tutti.

Was H*nry ‘quiring’ while he was standing and crawling at the same time?
Yes, maybe you should take your meds.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Complicated comment TC.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Not as complicated as the goings on in the Grove.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Just en’quiring’.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Oh, Thorndon talk.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Do they have heaters in Thorndon?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

We use exercise to keep warm. I'm off to tennis soon to do just that.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Please don't fight with anyone!

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

At least, no punching.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Just swear at each other.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I hope you survived tennis, TC.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I played two sets - quite well actually - but called it quits as my knee was ‘playing up’ so I was sensible and came home.
It’s a lovely day here in the bigger city.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Were you in Auckland?

Anonimo ha detto...

I wasn’t in the Hutt.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

The Hutt IS NOT Auckland. You're probably getting it muddled up with Thorndon.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I’m thinking that you forgot to take your meds.

The continuous sound of rushing air and humming was interrupted by the plane giving a small shake. He looked at the readout. Airspeed 512 mph, altitude 11000 metres, outside temperature -65C. He sniffed and gave a little cough.

The mornings flight down over Australia had revealed thousands of miles of arid land. It was not until they neared Sydney that green grass and trees became apparent. He had looked down on many large open cast mines. At the airport they bought three bottles of duty free spirits. Arriving at midday they waited until 6pm for their final flight across the Tasman. He had been surprised at the cost of refreshments in the airport. A bottle of coke costing $6.75 Australian. Coffee and cakes were about the same. A shock after the reasonable prices in the Philippines.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

There are duty free shops at Wellington airport which would have saved clanking onboard with breakable bottles.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

You can say what you like about him but TC knows about duty free booze.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Well, more than about The Catechism apparently.
