Schubert on 3

[JFLL]

Cor luvverduck! No slummin' rand 'ere eh?

Too true. It worked out about £2.50 a bobble. Her excuse was that you can't get them anywhere else any more. Just have to use my old ma's recipe next year, I think.

Edit: Just got it from the horse's mouth that brooks murmeln, but leaves rauschen. Rauschen can also be fairly noisy, which would seem right for Wagner.

By the way, Kafka did write a short story about a 'Riesenmaulwurf', giant mole.

.

That's the one -- it's hilarious. (Kafka and Max Brod used to be doubled up with laughter when going through K's works, believe it or not.)

[Karafan]

No Fortnums simnel cake or Grundschwein in this household - more like a (cold) Greggs pasty, if we're lucky

Trying to avoid the VAT, eh, Aeolium!?

Does anyone know if Richard Burnett is still at Finchcocks [his home I believe] and entertaining people as he did years ago? A wonderful musician, I'll never forget him playing Mozart's 'Turkish Rondo' on a 'prepared piano.'

He is. My last visit was a few years ago. He looked rather frail then but he is obviously well and still doing what he has always done.

Appallingly self-congratulatory gabbling between Tom Service and Sara M-P on now. I'm holding on for the music.
