THE LOYAL DEVOTEE

 


Richard is chasing his practice hours goal the set for this year.

"One tune for every day in November!
I've decided to also learn those 30 tunes on my guitar, so I'll know the repertoire on two instruments.
Don't get me wrong, the violin will still be my main instrument.
Every day I'll target one specific tune on one instrument. I'll give that half an hour (on each instrument) then I'll devote another half hour (on each instrument) to three or six repertoire pieces.
In those two hours of practice I'll also make sure that technical practice (scales, etc.) is not neglected.
On the guitar that includes pick work and on the violin that includes long bows and intonation checks.
There you go.
I've done my guitar hour. Now it's violin time. It'd be good to get a bit of double bass (bass has its own repertoire) practice done too."


Is nice to have a goal in life and to be orderly but if he slacks around again then next month he might have to double or treble his efforts.



SICK? YES, WE'RE SICK OF HIM

 It's hard to get away from the bloated orange idiot in America who dominates the news but, just in case you missed it here's the clip of him insulting a Reuters journalist the other day.





A couple of days later Trump posted this picture of the journalist on his Truth Social website.


What a sack of shite - not the journalist but Trump.
