Stormy Weather

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

actually for an old chain smoker like me it gives me breath ... but not very much ....

hope the stitches came out ok salymap

I wish I felt such feelings as subtle incandescent joy today. Off to have stitches out on a small cyst on the back of my hair, removed last week. Not very exciting but necessary. Still, thanks NHS for doing it locally.

Oooh hope that goes ok, salymap

Buy yourself a tube of Rolo on the journey out - if it were me, I'd forget by the time I got home & the surprise & delight on finding the Rolo would be 'subtle incandescent joy' indeed

But then I'm easily pleased

I had a cyst similarly removed from the top of my head a year ago, saly. I am now a quarter of an inch shorter.

How are you computer problems? I know a very good computer engineer who literally breathes computers. He lives in St Mary Cray, which is quite near to you, and he charges me pretty lows rates I can pass on his details, should you wish.

Yes, the tornadoes were reported here on the lunchtime news. We could well do with some of your rain, marthe, without the tornadoes, of course. If, er, you could stand for a few minutes on the shoreline facing east, take a deep breath, and b l o w in our direction, it might just help...

"Blow ye winds easterly, easterly blow..." Actually I think it's "blow ye winds southerly" but easterly is close enough! We've actually had two lovely, almost autumnal (fallish as we would say here) days. Today reminded me of an English June day (as I remember them) with coolish air, and a blue sky with wonderful clouds. The muggy weather will come again no doubt. The tornado warnings put everyone into a panic here but the folks in western Massachusetts got the real thing. My mother, who spent her summers at her cousin's farm in Illinois, remembers having to go down to a storm cellar during a tornado. This story always makes me think of the first part of the Wizard of Oz.

Perhaps we should all sing that lovely bit in 'Cosi fan Tutte' where they sing about soft winds blowing..even my Italian has now deserted me, language not a man.

Keep safe marthe and family, hope we all have a peaceful Saturday.

'Soave s'il vento', I think, Saly (without looking it up) (which might also mean ''sell me some wine' )

Yesterday was fabulously sunny & hot here (& 'fabulous' might almost be a literal description, as it's been so rare recently), but today is back to dull & windy, but not so cold as previous windy weather was.

[salymap]

Yes Flossie, that's it. It's about time I played some of my old Mozart opera videos again to cheer myself up.I have some lovely ones from the early days of BBC4 when there was far more music than now on that channel.

Glad the weather is better for you.

[marthe]

Saly, thanks for good wishes. We're all safe (the tornado didn't come anywhere near us) and enjoying another lovely, sunny day. Arias from Mozart operas! Wonderfully cheering. have a good listen Saly and I hope all is well with you, S_A, flosshilde and others. Off to work at the furniture museum so I won't really enjoy the nice day until late afternoon! I'm just grateful for the sunshine after all the doom and gloom we've had.

Sunshine and showers here, lots cooler.
I don't keep up on this thread on a daily basis, have I missed the picture of Mahlerei's new Husky?

If I may answer in his absence, Anna, the family decided against the Husky for the moment. I expect Mahlerei will keep you posted.

Oh, thanks salymap, I just wondered. Mind you, they do require an awful lot of exercise and training (training because they are so intelligent they quickly get the better of you!)

My neighbours (in view of the scorching weather promised, it was 25 degrees yesterday) brought their settee and chairs outside and started to clean them with a steam machine - suddenly the Heavens opened! Much rushing to and fro with plastic sheets! I guess they'll be sitting on kitchen chairs or the floor this evening.

At last Kent/SE London is getting some heavy rain. Too late for the spring flowers that never got going but we must be thankful for this. Oh dear , it has just reached the French Open Tennis though with Nadal on a winning streak.

At least Cliff Richard will not come on to sing.
