Who is the best god?

I know a guy called Robert who would probably say, "The one true God."
Why doesn't everyone believe in the same god?

Which of these pictures best represents 'god' to you?

Spell it out.
The kindly father who smokes too much.
Woman god with cow.
God who works out.
The Holy Trinity.
Boss God.
Okay, there are many more gods but this will give you an idea of how many you have to choose from. Or not.

Gloves and when to wear them.

Things you need to understand about gloves:
  • They can keep your hands warm
  • They keep your hands clean
  • They can protect your hands
  • They can be worn as a fashion statement.
Protection and warmth

Warmth

Protection and keeping hands clean

Fashion


However, there are times when gloves are not a good option:
  • When going to the toilet (unless they are rubber gloves)
  • When playing the violin
  • When making love (especially not rubber gloves)
  • When threading a needle
  • When changing strings on a violin
  • Then cleaning your teeth
  • When eating fish and chips (with your hands).
It's fair to say that rubber gloves function differently than most other gloves.

That just about covers gloves and when to use them.

Back from Bahrain.

I've just been taking a break, back in Bahrain, catching up with the wider family when Richard (of RBB) rang.

Doha - always good to visit.
He said that there had been a lot of demand for me to get my blog running again. He even offered to fly me back, which was very nice of him.
So, here I am, back in Lower Hutt and writing.

I didn't have a bass to play back home but I did fool around on a few local instruments.



And here I am at a local jam.

That's me on trombone marching from left to right.
Jamming is a bit different in Bahrain. People like to dress up and move around.
Well, I might leave it there for today because I'm feeling a bit jet lagged.
It feels a little strange to be talking English again. Thanks again Richard (of RBB) and let's hope that RBB2 & RBB3 get underway again soon as well.
