I can't be too specific or I'll get into trouble and people will stop telling me stuff! Though I did find out (a) that ENO already has a new production of a certain well-known opera in the pipeline, despite the existing production being quite recent and rather fabulous  ; (b) who's really singing the top notes on a certain crossover artist's albums (c) the interesting circumstances in which a certain other crossover artist's career began  |

Awww thanks Jan! That's just made me doubly happy! In fact last night's gossip session took place in exactly the same corner of the same pub |

I guess I pick up my ideas for the composition and framing of shots from whatever seems to work, inko: since that Friedrich painting is new to me, there must be a common ancestor!

I seem to remember taking a view like that from Inverewe Gardens, many years ago. Wonderful place to visit but we had to spray ourselves with anti-midge stuff, they were swarming all over us!

It's a gorgeous place, MJ, though I know exactly what you mean about the midges (the lack of which is one of the advantages of living in the East).

My teenage son, off school with a bug, has just put some nice guitar music on his iTunes for me - one of his Foo Fighters tracks which is, uncharacteristically, just 2 acoustic guitars - Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners. Much nicer than all that noisy stuff he usually plays!  |

Much nicer than all that noisy stuff he usually plays! I've got a Foo Fighters double CD - In Your Honor - which I ripped off from my brother, to see what it was like, as he kept talking about them. The first disc is noisy and the 2nd is acoustic as far as I remember. Haven't listened to them very much, certainly not recently, and I took the precaution of burning them to CDRWs at the time since I didn't think I'd want to keep them - but they're still there!  |

My sentiments exactly Jonathan. I've had a rotten day, it's been raining since late afternoon, I left work and immediately my brolly got blown inside out during a squally downpour, we are promised gales, possble floods, plagues of locusts probably as well, but IT'S FRIDAY AND I DON'T HAVE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING. Yippee Also there is beef stronganoff for dinner! |
