Block! Unblock!

I've got a slightly later start this morning. I've got two toilets to unblock and they asked me to come in earlier, but I pretended that I had a dentist appointment. One client evidently was not enthused by the wait. I guess that he should have been more careful with how much toilet paper he uses. 

I see that, at the Vatican, they're getting ready to elect a new pope. Lots of cardinals will be involved.

What sort of pope will they elect? One who thinks he knows how full Hell is? One who doesn't like Protestants? It is funny how many Catholics are convinced that they are following the one true god. This religion has a pretty checkered past too. Remember the Spanish Inquisition?

"The Spanish Inquisition was a judicial institution established in 1478 by Ferdinand and Isabella to combat heresy in Spain. However, in practice, it served to consolidate power in the monarchy of the newly unified Spanish kingdom through brutal methods. It was not definitely abolished until 1834."

Ferdinand and Isabella were Catholic monarchs. There was also a Roman Inquisition and a Portuguese Inquisition. 

It's a puzzle to me how people can support this religion, and to think that I was interested in joining!

I've been trying to learn some guitar. I bought an instrument.

I've had a bit of trouble trying to tune it. I broke one of the strings and had to take it back to the shop. A guy there replaced the string and tuned it. I'm sure I heard him mutter, "Dumb arse!" under his breath.

I've been watching some lessons online and bought a book that shows you chords. I might need to get some help from Richard (of RBB).

Okay, time to get moving. Though no one is expecting me until after 10. I'd better pop over and check out Geon's latest post first.

Have a good Monday.
