Going back to Astronomy and music, Patrick Moore plays the xylophone and also composes. There's a very silly anmated song (probably on U-Tube) called just that where his xylophone takes off and flies to the moon and lots of little aliens poke their heads out of craters and dance. It really is very, very silly  Got lots of CDs for my birthday - Reger Orchestral works, Beethoven / Liszt Symphonies, William Wallace Symphonic Poems and Romantic Sonatas for piano duet (by Moscheles, Goetz and Fibich). Good stuff!! |

Thanks T-P. The Wallace was very interesting (had a quick listen earlier) - very much influenced by both Liszt and Wagner (so very good in my book). As to the others, I've had no time to listen as we drove 400 plus miles today so are a little tired!

Yes, it is not fun. At least you still have eyes (I suppose you can see still if not breath). That animals you posted doesnot need eyes and only uses its nose thing. I wonder if they get colds and stuffy noses.

Ho all.
I'm just heading to bed whilst listening to Andy Kershaw (and actually enjoying quite a lot of it... perhaps I'm in the wrong wroom?)
3 hours of orchestration tutorials, which weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be (though it's a bit depressing when you have to explain transposing instruments to orchestration students after 17 weeks of study...) and then spent the afternoon writing some exam questions (plus a rather exciting phone conversation about a possible fellowship somewhere in London) which just have to be approved.
Came home and did some composition, so feeling ok.
Got to teach some Ferneyhough tomorrow (Lemma-Icon-Epigram) so I'd better read the article that I've set them...
Night all.

t-p, Your 'PC bashing smiley' reminds me of a short video I saw ages ago of someone in an office who got so frustrated by his computer that he picked up the keyboard and smashed the monitor off the desk, then walked away. The computer under the desk was unharmed |

But will you agree that it is frustrating when internet works slowly or when computer can not do something or more often when one does not know how to do something on a computer or it doesnot work properly etc etc etc.
I like to see this baby rhino though. I save it and computer saves it. And then how do I open it. Computer stores it somewhere, I can see. But how to look at the video. New meaning to the fable My eyes can see, but teeth can not reach (my translation of Krylov's fable that is a translation of a French author F.. )

are you on broadband t-p? do you have RealPlayer installed? you need both, then the videos of the baby rhino should open and start playing in RealPlayer when you click on them  |

yes, I have a broadband and Realplayer. It stores it somewhere and I don't know what it does with them. May be I am clicking on a wrong thing on that site. And where did you find such a good smiley. I missed it.  |

So many creatures are trying to live and survive in this world. How nice they all are in their own way.
Thank you for the picture George and Andy for the site. They said on the radio that people watch baby rhino being born on the net for the first time.
