Happy as can be,
All good friends and
Jolly good company.
Another cold morning. Our heat pump has decided to stop working. Peter has already left a comment on Rob's latest post. He thinks that Rob has got his facts wrong.
"Quintilis. In 44 BC the Romans change it to July in honour of Julius Caesar; though I doubt TC would accept that as he thinks everything back then was myth. Around that time Luke had written the first account of the life of Jesus or was it Mark?"No doubt the boys will fight over this for a while. Ah well, it keeps them busy on a very cold morning. It's evidently 2 degrees in the Nui. It'll be warmer in Thorndon because it is considered a posh suburb. I think they have heat pumps on the side of Peter's street.
I don't think that is the case in Moera. Evidently the temperature here is 4 degrees now. Both our car windows are covered in ice. At least it's not raining. That means that Peter won't have to drive Lynn to work. Though I suppose he still could. He could wear his new pants.

I'm off work today, which is good because it takes the rush out of my morning when one is not feeling 100%. I was offered a break today because I am going in to assess performances tomorrow.
I have a new routine in my practice. Every week day (Monday to Friday) I play 6 of my 30 repertoire tunes so that, over five days I've played every tune. I still practise on the weekend and it doesn't mean that I won't do extra practice on tunes that need it. It's just a way to make sure that no tunes are neglected. Peter will be pleased to hear that. I also MUST get some double bass practice done.
Well, that should do for today.
Oggi la mia pratica inizia con la melodia numero tredici e arriva alla numero diciotto.
Ciao tutti.

It was 10 degrees in Thorndon.
There's more hot air here .... oops, that came out wrong.
I've got to go - and nothing to do with hot air coming out. I have to buy tea bags from the British shop, a shirt from Kathmandu in Lyall Bay, some plates and a ceramic fan heater from Briscoe's. Busy, busy, busy.
Briscoe's? You'll never buy better!
Who is the shirt from Cat man do for? Is it a checkered work shirt?
Subjects you probably shouldn't teach at school:
Spelling.
Geography.
Cultural awareness.
Do I need to go on?
You should have told me this in 1976. It's a bit late now.
So you are off to England, Nepal and then Texas?
Sorry about your heatpump. They do have filters that need cleaning! Just a thought.
Yes, I do clean those. I actually have it working this morning.
That's good news.
Like the new Catholic Church schism that might prove to be bigger than the eleventh century one.
Goodbye nonsense, hello enlightenment.
I think Rob got his countries muddled up when he qroted about the schism.
I think it was the Swiss and not the Swedes. Or maybe there are two 'events' happening?
"The most notable "swiss catholic revolt" refers to a major crisis involving the ultra-traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). Based at their seminary in Écône, Switzerland, the rebel group consecrated four new bishops without papal consent , prompting Pope Leo XIV and the Vatican to declare them in schism and formally excommunicate them all ."
I don't like the idea of Robert "qroting".
He does enough weird things already.
Qrote - to get a quote wrong.
"The Great Schism: The most notable example in history is the East-West Schism of 1054, which permanently divided the Christian world into Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Another prominent event is the Western Schism, a split within the Catholic Church from 1378 to 1417 where competing papal claimants existed in Rome and Avignon ."

OK, no need to rub it in. I knew this as you can see by my comment. We studied it in 7P while you were no doubt 'studying' dressmaking in 6M.
Actually, we were studying how to use diminished 7th chords to play over dom7b9 chords Did you 7 Pee guys learn about this, or were you all too busy stealing communion hosts?
We only looked at the bagpipes and Father Bliss said we should only sing songs in Latin.
TC
Well, better Latin never, I guess!
An old 3G joke. :-)
Yeah those P guys were really stupid. Don't even know there is God.
Which god are you talking about Rob? In 3G we worshipped Zeus.
"Yeah those P guys were really stupid. Don't even know there is God."
I'm Sorry Sparky but those 3,4,5,6 and 7-P guys
who were earmarked as being potential priests and Catholic influencers mostly (99% +) saw through all that Catechism and Christian Doctrine nonsense and got on with their lives leaving all that gobbledy-goop to people like you.
Don't listen to him Robert, he meant to say, instead of "In 3G we worshipped Zeus." - 'In 3G we whipped it out and abused ourselves'.
So there!
Switzerland might be not a better place to go to ( too many nazis) but safer than Turkey nowadays. See you there?
July 4th. In the pendants day.
How many people will actually bother to wear a pendant today?
Rob could wear some rosary beads or a scapular. I don't think Peter has a pendant. Perhaps he could just wear his raccoon hat?
Shelley and I are still not well. I've had three nose bleeds. I couldn't drive to A&E, so I called an ambulance. The two ambulance people were very nice and showed me how to deal with my nose. That meant that I didn't need to go to the hospital. I'll see my doctor on Monday.
Sorry to miss seeing you guys today. Enjoy your weekend and GO THE ABS!!!
Hells bells! I hope you are OK now. Are you on blood thinner medication?
Take care.
Yes I am on blood thinners. Hey, and I've just got 30 comments on this post!
Yes!!!
I take Rivaroxaban (Xarelto brand) blood thinner med and have not had any problems with it.
Thanks for the reminder on the ABs. I set up a monthly pass to watch the game plus the next couple. It only took about two hours. Bloody technology!
I'm all signed up for rhis evening. Good, no, best half back and first 5 combination. Jordie's going well too. I hope the boys go well!
Yeah but what time does the bloody thing start?
33 - (no, 34 now) comments. Is this a record?
Sorry about the 'bloody' comment.
Can we visit tomorrow?
Peter and Lynn
Something is wrong with Robert's blog - again.
I tried to put this comment in but it won't accept it:
"Don't forget to watch the All Blacks play France tonight Robert.
Men chasing each other about with balls being featured must be right at the top of the Vatican's programme methinks."
Is it just me?
Be lovely to see you both!
On second thoughts as Lynn is coughing badly with her cold we won’t visit but hope you are both doing ok.
Stay warm and safe.
Poor old Lynn! I hope she gets well soon. xxx
