Adapting to the Banjo!

I tried learning the banjo in its standard tuning! It gave me the G tuning,  most common banjo tuning, D B G D G! I tried learning the songs and immediately found it really difficult to follow. It was quite hard to place the notes. So I tuned up to the standard guitar tuning E B G D and G on the neck tuning key. And viola! It was so easy to adapt. Though I cannot play the songs exactly, it’s quite easy to adapt to this. 

Meh!

Tuesday! Today was my day off, I caught up on some sleep finally! Practiced the banjo, sent piano assignments, got a lot of work done. Solomon is moving in next door, he had hired a crew to clean up his place. So, I went there for some time. 

Brownie points!

Gotta win them brownie points! Determined was I!  So when we decided to play the  game!  Cat and mouse, you catch me, I catch you!  I put in some effort, to win those precious brownie points!  She was not easily impressed, Told me I just scored One point!  But I thought I deserved at-least Ten!  For that song I sang to her, you see!  Then she gave me her wisdom  Told me, I scored more points earlier,  When I had decided to spend some extra time with her Time! Quality time  That’s what it takes to score some, Brownie points. 

How you get back to routine

 I have been slacking a lot and I have to get back to routine. The only way to do it is saying no to over sleeping (I’m not sleeping well), social media and diet. I have been eating junk. It’s time to pull back to routine and save the junk food for weekends. 

Catching up

It’s all changing, We don’t need to meet! We hear each other!  Judge everything by sound  These are my evenings  Keeping my blues away!

Byg Brewski blues!

 Jude took us out to Byg Brewski! There was Denzil, Andy and Sharmi with us. We sneaked into the VIP section where a DJ was just pretending to create music. He was twiddling with the knobs but Bob significant change was noticed in the sound. We then found a table where the noise was less, and ordered food, I enjoyed the beef chilly and nags pork bao. Andy and I ordered a mango drink and we got a watered down version of Tropicana, overpriced!! We had some few chuckles, then I drove Denzil home. It’s 1:00 by blog is late, I have an early morning class. I’m gonna crash! Bye! 

Burning Lantana

 The lantana plants in my neighbour’s empty plot are quite invasive and they are taking over the road side as well. The plants are hovering over the guava and avocado trees that I planted recently, by the road side. I decided to do something about it!  I put someone who is always up for some destruction of invasive plants, in action. This person is a natural arson! You will quite often see them burning things around, almost destroying expensive property. Mom! She loves burning things, including food some times. So we jumped the wall and bunt some heavily vegetated lantanas!  Hope this will protect the trees, before the lantana can cover all the sun from them. The destruction will continue till the lantanas are eradicated!  PS: As I write this mom burnt a switch! Love her!
