When's Wednesday?

 It's today!

AKA Badgrammarday.
Actually, the opening of the speech marks
just got cut off at the top of the picture.

Peter will be busy trying to get rid of his plates and stuff.


Robert offered to take them. Robert who said, in his latest post, "I wonder if blogging has run its course." Well, not if you're trying to scrounge cups and plates, Rob.


Today, Wednesday, the day when my younger grandson has been around for 15 months, is day number 196 of 2026. 
At present my practice stands as:
Double Bass 29 hours.
Guitar 20 1/2 hours.
Violin 146 1/2 hours.
Total = 196 hours.

Not a bad effort.

Better than trying to sell old crockery. 

I'll get into some violin practice soon. I might take the time to play through my entire repertoire from memory, That should take about 2 1/2 hours. I'll have to get onto it soon. The double bass comes next, but maybe tomorrow. 

I'll see Henry this afternoon, after picking up his elder brother from childcare. For those who don't know, Henry is the guy who is 15 months old today. 

Well, that's it from me for this Wednesday.

Ciao tutti.

Does that 15 months include the time in his mummy's tummy?

Robert has a funny way of asking for things.
I wonder if, after I deliver the crockery to his house, he wants me to stack the plates in his china cabinet. Hey! I might as well vacuum his carpets and clean his toilets while I'm there.

Womb is the word you're looking for Robert.

Are Catholics now adding 9 months to their age? Are young Catholics who are 17 years an 3 months old now turning up at bottle stores?

You might as well as him about bodily incorruption of saints after death.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I think your grammar needs a bit of work there.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I can't 'as' him. His blog has buggered off again.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

It's the modern age version of him taking his football and going home thus ruining the game.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Esattamente!

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

It always feels to me like he has thrown a tantrum.

Rob ha detto...

Well 99% of scientist who study this stuff say human beings begin at conception!

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

But humans started with Adam and Eve who only had two boys. Cain and Abel. Unless they bonked their mother, there were no women around to conceive the next generation. There's a puzzle for Catholic scientists.

Thursday 16th. July.
Okay, I'm a few hours early.
But what the heck.
I'm not planning to go anywhere by plane, but if I were I would take Rob's advice.
"You can take a back back so long as it fits under the seat in front of you."
He's giving Peter travelling advice. I hope that Peter is taking note.
Now that I've written this I won't have to post tomorrow morning.
That means I might get more practice done.
Ciao tutti.
