Good morning from the NW. Raining here too but everyone busy and happy. Coming back from the school run I was greatly cheered by Horowitz's arrangement of the Hungarian Rhapsody, played by Lang Lang I think on R3. Horowitz is probably my favourite pianist in his own right for most things, although I think Geza Anda and Murray Periah take some beating for Mozart in particular.
Let's hope that everyone has a happy and productive day.

Good morning. <sheepishemoticon> I didn't wake up till after 9 a.m! Unheard of for me these days.  Teenager is still asleep of course, as they always are on a Saturday morning, but little 'un was playing happily on the computer here. All very peaceful in fact.  |

Morning Milly!
My sister is moving today... Exciting but rather sad. I'm hoping to head down there to visit fairly soon.

Small village further up in Oxfordshire.
They're moving into a terraced house previously inhabited by goths...
When they first viewed the house, the walls were all black but since then my brother-in-law has had a crash-course in wallpaper from my dad, and has redecorated the whole house in a week (eek! but phew!). Local schools are good and they get to look out over countryside at the back. She's moving from a house with a terraced garden with some very treacherous concrete steps (all three of the children have taken a header down those stairs) where the eldest is one of only two boys in his class. It does mean that she's moving away from my parents and so, on a selfish note, I'm going to see a lot less of them, but they need the extra space.

We went away for a few days once (and only once!!) when our kids were teenagers and when we returned home, our younger son had painted his room black.  I thought it was hilarious, but my husband was less than impressed at the time although he did laugh about it later. We never did that again! They'd had a party and my stereo had gone. We never found out who dunnit. The black room has been papered over since, but it needs doing again really and I was chuckling the other day about the memories it would evoke when it was stripped off again. Sad though it will be for you, I hope your sister and her family settle down really quickly. Where they're going sounds lovely. |

My younger son did the same, but only the woodwork and the red metal bedstead. I knew he was going to, and I wasn't away. I didn't mind - I was grateful he was doing the painting! Teenagers - strange creatures Good morning, incidentally. |

Oooh! BBM has just had a mention on R3 as being one of the regular mb posters! Ah yes, I heard this too - and I was very impressed by the George Benjamin piece, which seemed extraordinarily confident for a seventeen-year-old composer. |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

Morning.
Interesting how long it's been since I last got up before the sun had really made an appearance.
I don't think I can remember in fact.
[rubs eyes blearily]
Nearly time to head to the cathedral and sing.

Good morning. Going to the cathedral to sing must be a good way to start Sunday, even if you are bleary-eyed.
I woke hideously early, as usual. The people I envy most in the world are people who can sleep late they have the chance.
PW - I don't know which George Benjamin piece was played, but there was a big fuss over Ringed by the Flat Horizon when it appeared. He was going to be the Next Big Thing. I'm not sure that this has happened.

I heard that piece too. Jolly good it was. So now that's three R3 listeners then. |
