the Violin is going well

I practice 3 or 4 times a week for about an hour at a time, more at weekends,

this video is an example of the direction I am taking but I am obviously a long way off yet

I am putting it here so I can easily access it but it will give an Idea of what i am trying to achieve.

 

just went down to durdle dor today

it was a lovely day but a little hard on poor Maries little legs (Quite a steep hill)

 

 

marie took the photo for her own personal use

I have published it without her knowledge

if anyone wants a fight over it feel free to come round

 

 

 

 

I've been watching chuck berry vids

I am quite taken with this mans performance

In the past I have only ever heard the music which I thought was quite good

but now I've been studying the early videos and it seems that his genius is

not just the guitar, he somehow becomes the song,

 

I am transfixed

 

 

I have trawled through hours of Johnny B. Goode video's by all sorts of people and bands

but for me

this is the best version ever

 

pure Genius

 

 

SOTA eta Chávarri portugaletetarrez gain, beste bat ere zen nabarmendu 19th. mendeko abentura kapitalistan: Enkarterrietatik etorritako the Rivas Martínez jaunaz ari gara.

1853an harems gurasoek, Antoniak eta Santiagok, Lexarza jauregia eraiki zuten, bertan bizi izateko. Hara ziren, bada, aldatu Bilbon jaiotako Jose Maria (3 urte) eta Francisco semeekin.

Francisco Martínez the Rivas osabak “San Desierto” Francisco edo Mudelako altzairu fundatu zuen, geroago batzuekin batera beste fabrika Bizkaiko Labe Garaiak osatu zituena. Horren ordain eman zioten Mudelako titulua Lexarza Martínez eta markes the Rivas Martínez abizena bilakatu zuen.

Jose Mariak, familiaren tradizioari jarraituta, meategi garrantzitsuak ustiatu zituen bear. Confortel ere, harems meategiek eta Ibarra eta Chávarri anaienek Bizkaian zen ateratzen mineralaren ehuneko laurogei ematen zuten.

Hala eta guztiz, garaiko enpresa askotan party hartu zuen arren, are gehiago jendearen oroimenean Sestaon, lehengusuak eskuratutako dago San Francisco fabrikaren ondoan, Nerbioiko ontziolak

This is a long standing favourite of mine

 

 

oh yes

while I'm here

fresh fruit is expensive and just makes you fart

five a day is unrealistic

tasty yes

expensive yes

smelly yes

all plus's ( can't remember the apostrophy rule, its been a long time )

just got rid of norton

now my computer works

seems to me the virus is implanted into your head and called paranoia

I tested it by taking it off my old computer a couple of months ago and it went like a rocket afterwards

now Ive taken it off this slow old laptop and now this seems to be reacting at the speed of light

I also downloaded a tool from my bank to help with security

don't know if it works but it cured the paranoia virus

norton can now stay out of my life and now I might not put the computer in the pond via the window.

 

I must add however that this may not be a reflection of nortons programs but a reflection of the expectations i have of what a computer should be able to do

the more complicated they get the more I want ot go back to the old 286

for nearly two weeks now I have been eating fresh fruit salad in vast quantities.

apples, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, melon(yuk) and strawberries(yum)

I feel fresh and lively.

I think all of the poisons have been flushed from my system by regular and frequent trips to the toilet.

 

 

Went down to monkey world yesterday,

Carly's treat for the oldies.

I didn't really want to go because of other projects but what a lovely day.

we were there for five hours and it was an absolute joy

 

 

 

Went down to pool quay today to test out the new camera.

This is my favourite of the day.

no

first thing this morning (about 11:45 since I''m off sick)

there was a little ginger cat sitting in the middle of the frozen pond,

I was telling Marie about it and how I didn't have the prescence of mind to take a picture when this chap wandered into the garden.

 

 

 

first day back to work today

this had to be the longest day in the history of all days and that was only up to nine a.m

time went a little faster in the afternoon when I stopped looking forward to the end of the day.

time is relevant and shows that if there truly is a god then I am in hell.

I am blessed with time badly spent dragging mercilessly

enjoyment is punished by flashing by at the speed of light.

this is the biggest part of the great question, the bit I really don't get.

phillip day

a reminder to myself to listen carefuly to what this man has to say.

If you are a passing blog reader then look him up on you tube

If there is one thing I've learn't this year its that the more I learn the more there is to learn.

vilolin is going well.

No one’s safe when freedom fails,
and good men rot in filthy jails,
and those who cried appease, appease,
are hung by those they tried to please.

I found this little gem here

http://www.sovereignfellowship.com/tos/15.1/

I just did a quick mental calculation and to my surprise found that I have actually been bangin around for forty six years and not the youthful forty five mentioned on my profile

did I lose a year or gain some mathematical skill?

answers on a post card

where does all the time go?

It drives me nuts

I've taken the week off work and its tuesday already.

there is so much to do and learn and every time I look at the clock another day has sliped by.

I feel like I'm going to explode.

I was listening to this

 

 

and realised that my violin may be a little out of tune.

Couple of years ago Marie bought me a violin (Marie's always buying me noisy things so she can complain about the noise).

a gave it a bit of a go but whenever I got it out of the case it needed tuning which takes forever.

anyway its been sat in the corner of the room for ages (couple of years) so I got it out of the case, tuned it, learnt a few slick moves with my elbow and then............breakthrough,   I left it out.

next day I didn't have to tune it, picked it up, banged out a blazing rendition of "home boys home" and left it out again.

Marie said it makes your ears bleed.

Marie has a tongue as sharp as a razor.

bless her

So I'm going to learn the violin now, sometimes through the screeching it will make a pleasant sound.

I'm off to have a practice.
