Now Radio 3's Orfeo disc is jumping! Or is it me?  |

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

Wouldn't know.  Silence reigns in Millyland. |

Been very busy in this area today. Gorgeous sunshine and very warm indeed. Looking out I can see many people swimming in the sea and the beach is quite crowded too. Some of them are swimming a long way out - but that's usual and the coastguard is keeping an eye on them. Good time being had by all.
That being said, I prefer it at the end of the season when all the holidaymakers have gone and we have the beach to ourselves once more.

I looked out of the window a moment ago, and the people across the road have put their boat in the front garden, lovely rusty red sails up! A very beautiful, if bizarre, sight - a sailing boat under a large ash tree. I suppose they are cleaning it or something.
I wish I had your sea view, Milly, but a boat is the next best thing.

Nobody swimming here, though they'd be just as wet walking to the beach: it's raining and very fresh: the two nearest weather stations (Arbroath and Leuchars) to which I have direct links on my computer, show that the temperature is only 57 degrees...

26C here (NW England more-or-less coast, south of Milly) - not sure what that is in old money - high 70s? Too hot for me, anyway.
Where's t-p?

At last, after a week of boiling heat and humidity, the rain has come to the Northeast Kingdom, and Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin suits the mood beautifully |

A very beautiful, if bizarre, sight - a sailing boat under a large ash tree. Sounds like something out of this book, Mary!  Yes, where is t-p? She said she'd been a bit down and was also caught up decorating the spear room, but she does seem to have been gone quite a while now.Ron, do they really say 'jamp'? How about 'snoze' too (as in 'sneeze/snaze/snoze')?
And 'one shoop, two sheep', anyone?  |

t_i_n, in a word , yes: I've even heard 'jamped' on occasion. Similarly, people and things have never 'gone', they've 'went', and I'm sure some more will come to mind soon. In much of Lothian and Fife, incidentally, if asked to spell 'jamp', the first letter would not be pronounced 'jay' to rhyme with day, but 'jie' to rhyme with 'eye'. Doesn't happen in Dundee, because I is pronounced 'eh' (shortish vowel). English is nearly a second language here, and not much further up the coast it's more confusing still for incomers, since words usually starting with 'wh' sometimes assume an 'f' instead, plus a vowel shift; 'fit' = 'what', 'far/faur' = where. I have on occasion had to act as an interpreter for very befuddled tourists.

Yes; her brief reappearance has rather led to her disappearing again. Hmm. Well she last logged in today we are told from her profile. She still has a few more months of safe time before loosing poll position post-wise, Ian/Alistair flare-ups notwithstanding, so doesn't have anything too much to worry about yet Anyway, I do hope you're doing ok t-p! |
