I was going to say let us have an Ecclesiology thread (but wasn't sure if I could spell it) Sounds good to me. As so often on this board, thanks in this case to our man in the pews, Don B, and to Anty and others, I'm learning things about something that I believed held not the slightest bit of interest for me. Despite all those years as a choirboy and server. And nearly making it to confirmation. Oh, and wanting to be either a footballer or a bishop when I grow grew up. And having distinguished forbears in the biz? Any thread in which we can say 'bishopric' a lot gets my vote. |

Gawd. That's torn it. Yes, alright, I admit it. Great-grandfather the Right Reverend Thomas a-Martle:  |

Does Smetana's surname mean 'sour cream'? I learned the word сметана a couple of weeks ago, but it's only just now I've found myself thinking of putting two and two together. Does it? Any help from Reiner or T-P or someone else versed in these things on this matter?

In Bonn visiting my Freiburg-period roommate, who is now a physician. He and his wife (French literature lector at the University) have a little baby girl of unbelievable cuteness. Now she's about 6 months old and moves as if containing a small clock mechanism that causes her arms to swing about slowly. Little ones are so different from one another! Ours, at that age, swung about quite wildly, never hitting himself in the face, however, as miraculous as that may sound.

 Did they chase you out of Bowelsville? I'll have to check for Freiburg on my map.  |

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

I'll have to check for Freiburg on my map. It's got a nice cathedral. Only half an hour from France. Opposite side of the hill from ultimate source of the Danube. |

Sounds like 1000s of fireworks going off, some distance away - I thought it was thunder at first. Still going, about 3 a second. Slowing down now - no, starting up again. Odd. |

Perhaps there's a fête or carnival somewhere, MJ, or a posh private party....
Not far up the Tay from us is Barry Buddon - a wee peninsular which sticks out into the river mouth beyond the golf-course, which is used as a training-ground for the T.A. as well as regulars (we have a Royal Marines base not that far away, and R.A.F. Leuchars - a name instantly recognisable to those who listen to the Shipping Forecast - is diagonally across the firth, too). On certain days when the wind is in the right quarter, the sound of mortars and automatic gun-fire is carried down the water so faithfully that you could swear that they were re-enacting the D-Day landings on the beach just the other side of the railway, and the 'crumps' from the shells roll across the bay alarmingly.

Bought the lap top with me on holiday!!! Down in Cornwall at the moment. Very nice. Hope to meet up with JantheFan later, this evening. I had the oppurtunity of playing with the St Austell Band yesterday evening at the Ship Inn, Par, Cornwall. They did'nt have a spare tuba, drat. Championship Section band to!! I bought my mouthpiece with though, jsut in case another oppurtunity comes up for a blow. One never knows.
