For those of you with a delicate disposition, let me just explain that The Holman-Climax Male Voice Choir is named after the 2 companies who merged. It was just th Climax Choir to begin with. (muffled snigger emocion)  |

Haven`t had any weather special effects in Norf Lunnon yet. Apart from it being blimmin` cold. Brrr. However I have to pop out to the post box. Now watch the hail, thunder, lightning and snow descend for that brief trip. I`ll take the huskies and galoshes just in case. And maybe a hip flask.....

A, By God, the polar bears up here have attitude, I tell you. He wouldn`t let me near the post box without the requisite payment in fish. Fortunately I had a tin of emergency pilchards about my person. Sadly, he also took a shine to my snow shoes and polished off the pilchards with the contents of the hip flask. Sigh.  |

Lawks ! It's freezing, hail and gale force winds...one of the consultants here fell of his bike and fractured his jaw today, now I'm about to tog up and cycle home.  "I may be gone some time" is echoed from deepest, darkest Cornwall. Glad you fed the polar bear, Mort, they are going hungry these days with all that melting ice etc. apparently. That's your good deed for the day done. (I haven't done mine yet, watch this space) |

Hi everybody,
I am back after rehearsal. A teacher of my viola player came all the way from Cork to hear us. We had a nice grand piano to play on at friends house and a nice dinner prepared for us.
Now I am trying to catch up what you were up to while I was gone. I can see that some one fed our resident polar bear other wise poor thing would be hungry. People are braving snow on bicycles and break their jaw. Otherwise everybody is ok.

Really very cold here tonight and we had a blizzard just as I was on the way home from work. It took an hour to drive 12 miles. Still, at leaast I had Bruckner to listen to in the traffic jam!
It's snowing again now - what a nusiance!

t-p,
The Enescu Konzertstuck is a really great viola piece - I keep meaning to learn it. How did your friend's (and your) recital go?

This is mandala to get rid of egoistic tendencies. I think this one is very good (especially after snow).   Tommo, We have not played yet. Today her teacher came to couch her all the way from Cork. He is good viola player formerly from Academika Quartet. I have to go on Wed to Cork and the concert is on Thursday. This is why Tibetian Mandala is good for me to cleanse myself. I love that Enescu piece very much. Also there is Rachel Clarke's sonata for viola and piano that I want to learn. They say it is a good piece. I wish you learn it. I have the music and who knows may be I will play it. Thank you Tommo |
