    Covid-19 isn't compatible with my phone.

    Face ID doesn't work when wearing a mask, and I have to actually manually type in the pass code.

    I'm either wearing gloves or have fingers wet with sanitiser.

    Went to Woolies. Not only are the Darrell Lea chocolate blocks now $4 (they were previously on special $2.50 each), I forgot to buy Stag chilli :(
    And it's all too hard to take home on this pushbike with no backpack, no panniers and no luggage rack.

    Time to go back to the unicycle, you've got two free hands to carry bags. :D

    And, the backpack I took on my ride today in my pocket for shopping? It must have blown out of my jacket pocket during my ride. :(
    Oh, and we ate all that Darrell Lea cranberry and nut chocolate I bought last weekend already, I just opened a pack of the Bear hug variety but its not nice :( (way too much blackcurrant jelly)

    I have to now go from my Study to my garage, where there is some icy cold beer with my name on it waiting to be consumed. Not sure whether to have the oysters first or the prawns. What a dilemma???
    Have a nice evening everyone;):)

    Stag chilli! Yum but at 620 calories for a tin she’s a large part of the days intake

    I enrolled in aerial tissue classes again. But also, one of the local unicycling groups started up again. Both on Monday nights :(

    What a PITA.

    Have been trying to find why the buzz on the Open G string (keep you minds out of the gutter please.)

    Found the reason. It's temperature dependent and it seems it is the mounting screws which become slightly loose as the room warms. Dang slot heads. May need to find a competent luthier in this neck of the woods which I don't think is going to be an easy task.

    You don't want it to be too luth. :oops:

    (Yes, I had to look it up)

    Thankfully the buzzing on my open strings turned out to be a lot simpler! The screws on the locking nuts (why do all these guitar parts have double meanings...) were loose! No wonder I couldn't keep the strings in tune either :p:p

    Lucky there @The Y-man.

    I tried, gently, to tighten the mounting screws but it didn't have much effect so it could be something else (truss rod?) If the tuning pegs need replacing, well... A set costs close to $200 and if it's to match the current bling (Old-style Martin engraved plates, etc) probably nearer $400.

    An inexpensive hobby.
