47 Days Left.

 As of yesterday my practice done stands at 365 hours. That's one hour for every day of the year and there are still 47 days left!

Sorry, a mistake there, I don't practise drums and
the neighbours are pleased about that.

I will easily get over 400 hours for 2026.

Yesterday I replaced Nature Boy with a tune of mine called Romance. I play it on the violin in G minor but I moved it to D minor for the guitar. It just feels nice in that key on the guitar. I'm keeping both my guitar and double bass repertoires at seven tunes each for the time being. As you may know, I've devoted every day in November to one of my violin repertoire tunes. I give that tune half an hour, but I am practising other things on the violin too.

It was nice to see Peter yesterday. He didn't bother any cyclists or scooter drivers while he was with me. We had a coffee in Petone. Outside the cafe there was a guy rapping. He had no backing, he was just punching out the words solo. Peter seemed to enjoy him. Maybe, when he goes away in January, Peter could rap to his lady friend instead of playing the guitar? Yes, I can see that working.

I got my huge front lawn cut yesterday.

The day before I tidied up our drive. That leaves only the back lawn, and a space behind the house, to do. Getting there!

Well it's shower time, then guitar practice time, so I must go.

Hey, I might get to see my grandies today!

Ciao tutti.
