MJ,
Just noticed your little slogan under the avatar cats "When in doubt, wash".
I've always liked it. An excellent maxim for humans too! Jennie's a wonderful book - but my copy's gone AWOL and would you believe it, it's now out of print!  I can't have lent it to anyone as it's very precious, signed by Paul Gallico. Actually I think I've mentioned that before - I'll get beeped for repetition. Years ago my driving instructor had 2 favourite, conflicting sayings: When in doubt hang about (ie don't rush) and When in doubt give it some clout (ie don't hesitate) These often spring to mind - don't think I always choose the right one!  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

MJ, conflicting sayings In my collection of 1920's dance band records I have (or had) these two songs back-to-back "Don't Take Your Troubles To Bed" and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, and Dream Your Troubles Away"  |

I think I've more or less recovered from yesterday's visit by the grandchiddlers. Son-in-law came down to help with some of the housework yesterday and brought grandson with him, so while Dad got on with the dishes (he loves to cook but seldom cleans dishes) grandson and I explored the bits of lawn appearing through the snow, discovered a slightly saggy ball and dug for treasure on the front drive. We also managed to take both dogs for walks and tried to locate a woodpecker across the fields. Later, Son-in-law came back with extremely pregnant daughter (is she never going to have that baby?) and granddaughter as well as grandson for more treasure-hunting etc. <-- happy katty |

My neighbour Roger (he of the theory about the width of Wagner's chords) tripped over late this afternoon and pressed into my hand Mark Elder and The Halle Elgar Enigma Variations which he said was a duplicate.
Listening to it now.

I've got that one too, Anty/A. I've never listened to it yet (although I think I heard a copy in the shop before I bought mine), but it is at least now filed under E, after the recent CD tidy-up/reorganisation. |

Chapters 3 and 4 are done now - just 5 and 6 to go (and some music examples, and some bibliography, and some prefatory materials...). But still. I'm particularly pleased with my final fix to Chap4, which solved several problems by the simple method of deleting an entire 1000-word section. That is editing at its most satisfying. Helped keep the word count down too!  |

Aunty, Aunty, A? No way I is your Aunty I think. In which case that makes your Husband my fifth cousin germane of the lemons, I think of the one armed, and therfore 'armless cos ............ No, this Elgar, pressed into my hand by Roger me neighbour is great. I know no Elgar really. I think of him as a portly old gent, in a grey cardigan, bicycling his transport around the misty cloisters, a pound of Jersey Royals and a bit of smoked haddock nestling in the basket ready for the ministratrions of his housekeeper. I think of him striding up to Camp Briton, whistling merrily as he goes, probably puffing on a pipe, with plus-fours and bramble proof gaiters. So, what should I listen to from him then? |

Something like this, Aunty? (You can't see the haddock and spuds, but I know they're there somewhere.)  |
