AN UPDATE OR, "UP YOUR DATE" AS MY DAD USED TO SAY.

"What's been happening on the blogs?" is a question that's seldom posed but I'll tell you anyway.

Not much.

You probably want examples though so here goes:

Richard, as per usual is banging on (fortunately he's not a percussionist) about his stringed instruments practice. It's about as riveting as - well, something that's not riveting I guess. Make your own mind up:

I'm enjoying playing my guitar. I'm working on four tunes - Autumn Leaves, Manha De Carnival, Sweet Georgia Brown and Nature Boy. I have been working out nice chord voicings for chords like Bm7b5 and E7b9. It is interesting that Bm7b5 contains the same notes as Dm6 (B D F A / D F A B) and E7b9 contains a diminished chord with its E root (G# B D F).

"Whatever"

Robert's back on his Catholic religion nonsense and seems to be getting worse. This is what he wrote this morning:

I won't go to the sacrament of Penance. I did that during the week at St Mary of the Angels. The priest listening suddenly exclaimed in an incredulous voice "That's not a mortal sin...did you intend to offend God?". I still chuckle when I think back to that. I like him. Can't remember his name. About my own age.

Unbelievable! Which doesn't apply to Robert evidently as he prefers to believe what some social misfit in a dress tells him. Has anyone got a bridge to sell him? I'll take 10% commission.

As for me? This post is just a filler as I'm cooking up a doozy of a post to write later.

Stay posted.

I went for a walk but had to cut it short as I was feeling light-headed.
I'm hoping to build up fitness for our Australian adventures in a couple of weeks.
Hey ho!
I'll give you a short post instead.
