All opera stuff.. Royal Hunt and storm, Ride of the Valkyries and Die Walkure.. Donald Mackintyre and Christine Teare. Leoncavallo Pagliacci... a little bit strange I thought at first, but actually rather enjoyable... lots of hard work ... a good workout!

A wet, cold and windy weekend down here in the far South West... gardens look good though, all that sun & warmth, now rain.
GRUMP !
Why do restaurants think that you want to have a Sunday lunch with Sky News showing (albeit silently) on a big screen???
Would customers get up and say to the manager, "Hey, mate, I'd like to watch the news...." ?
It's enought o give one indigestion.
What's it all about? There are two nice re-vamped restaurants in Truro that I've been to that have these big tellies on. One week one of them had a nice beach scene, with waves coming in & out, now, that was nice & calm, if totally unnecessary.
I must be getting old. Grump, grump.
Whatever gives these style gurus the idea that it is what folk want?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...amazon *always* do this to me! Whenever I try to buy something that isn't a book (in this case, a rather charming-looking waffle-iron), they're all, like "sorry dude, we're totally not going to ship your waffle iron all the way to ireland". And I'm, like, "WTF amazon? First pumice stone (as a gift for someone who was endlessly complaining about how ward-duty was playing havoc with his poor dainty soles), and now this: a waffle iron. Bah. Should probably go down and support our local kitchen-store anyway. But still.
*grump*

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

True. But they have the old blue enamel Next Train indicators there from what,40s, 50`s? Love `em! Except they list the train going to Kensington High St street which runs, oh, umm, every two years. Twice a day? Ok. Small exaggeration..... |

Next time we have a board drinks you'll have to explain those indicators to me! For some reason I can never actually work out which destination is highlighted at any given time  |
