Day 4

 I've arranged for most the bros to come around on the 7th for a meet and greet with my fiancee. One bro will crossing Foveaux Strait. It will be nice to see the sister in laws too. I don't know if any nieces or nephews are coming. I don't know if any of L's will be there either. Wait and see.

I'm doing the Prebyterian's hall for the last time today. K's taking over. I'm finding it a struggle to get there and he's happy for the extra work. He has often helped me so knows the drill.

I've been practicing the Haydn Cello Concerto in D. It's a struggle. But happiness only comes through struggling. I think Haydn wrote it for a virtuous he knew; so he made some of it very tricky. I've listened to it so many times that I can play the melodic parts by ear. Parts like this that are more asymmetric take more pain; but hey, pain is good.

Well that's about all.

Have fun and get along to confession if you fall.
