He can sit it out with a kebab unless there's a twitcher element added to the diagram.

Again, he may still be on his own with the twitcher bit.

Good to see you studiously passing attention at the back.

Or is it wind...?

Cheese is serious stuff.

A hard turbo session 30 minutes after eating a good size not curry is not recommended. As I have just discovered.

A number of years ago we sang in a church choir that did a choral mass every Sunday during university term - turn up at 9 for the rehearsal, first service at 10, main service at 11. We did parts of both Martin and Poulenc masses. The Poulenc week we read through, and lightly rehearsed the sections the conductor had planned (probably Sanctus and Agnus). He then said "we've got time - let's just read through another movement" (probably the Gloria). "Yes - you can sing that. We'll do it as well."

Birder if you don't mind, I don't want to be associated with those twitcher nobbers!

Quite right, you just keep on with the Egrets.

It was very ripe and I was tempted to try it but didn't.

If you are wondering what Arch and NT are up to these days, the secret can finally be revealed. They are employed revamping the Western Approaches Museum in Liverpool on behalf of Big Heritage. Tight deadlines but both really excited.

I'm just taking my training shoes off and putting my more comfortable loafers on.

I climbed up a big, windy hill and looked into Wales.

I think some re-education is in order.

Three words: Soir de neige. And the Poulenc mass is the equal of anything Palestrina wrote. Whisper it - Palestrina is sometimes a little bit dull. Byrd and Tallis did it better.

Byrd certainly.
Tallis, I lose my way with, and start reading historical documents in the back of the Book of Common Prayer.
But I do like Poulenc's mass, though the modernism grates a little on a hide bound traditionalist like myself.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Sorry, about as modern as I get.

Morning. It is drismal here.

I wondered what I was going to be doing this morning and Schrodie has answered that question. He had been fussing lately near his tail as if a flea had bitten him. Well this morning he was fussing as soon as he came in and I noticed he has got a small bald patch which is bleeding. It seems a trip to the vet is on the cards.
