'Cranme' may have reached Cardiff, Mary, but something tells me that she and Roger still need to be in 'Newscatle-upon-Tyne' for Bank Holiday Monday, so it's not impossible that they will set out on their journey again, though possibly using another mode of transport. I have a feeling that Lt-Col. 'Reggie' Mentle may also have a further part to play at TOP at some point.

Happiness is a warm katbasket. After several weeks of not being able to Listen Again, I have finally figured out how to make Media Player Play Media once more.

I have heat! I have hot water! Oh bliss  . Heating man turned up pretty promptly this morning, and with any luck all is solved. (See the Grumpy Rant thread - I had no central heating/hot water since Sunday night, and it's really cold here.) |

Not only do I have heat and hot water, but I've just heard from Amazon that my copy of Britten's Letters (Vol.4) is winging its way to me. Since it isn't officially published until Thursday, I'm rather pleased. Not far off 800 pages, so it should keep me quiet for a bit . |

Rejoice with me, for it was lost and now is found!
I have just found the CD insert with words of Wozzeck and Erwartung. It had slipped from the top of the pile of CD booklets that I have piled at th front of a row of books on to the top of the books underneath the shelf.
I now have the original booklet, a translation of the play, and the German words downloaded from TRJ's libretti website and lovingly laid out by me in Word.
Still don't know where the CDs are, but I have the music on the ipod.

It is great to be with happy people.
I am happy because I am listening to Auerbach String quartet. It is mysterious at the moment. At times I thought there was Shostakovich influence in the quartet.

So glad for you, DB. I know all about the frustration of losing things.
I'm glad for you, t-p, too (goodness, I'm beginning to sound like Pollyanna), and it's always good to hear from you.
My Britten book has arrived, so I'm happy at the thought of quite a bit of concentrated reading. I may even begin at the beginning.

How many cities/towns did Donald Mitchell write the introduction in this time? They're usually unreadable, anyway. I'd skip the intro and go straight to the letters if I were you! Happy to be here. And very glad everyone's well. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Thank you Stanley. It was more a warmish city break than a wintry cold spell, but Marianne sustained me through the chillier parts with consummate and breathy ease. |
