    Mulled spiced bleach! I'll have to tell this one to my Welsh friend and neighbour Jean who always serves Gluhwein at her twelfth night party...also has been known to wear a neclace of leeks on St. David's Day! Tree guru was here this afternoon, took a look, and said he'd be back on Tuesday with a crane to lift the tree off the house. Estimated cost of removal: $2,500.-$3,000.. Insurance will cover the removal of the tree from the house and up to $500. for removal of wood from the property.

      Blimey marthe! Thanks goodness insurance covers it... but even so!

      I take it you don't possess a wood stove burner.

        A miserable morning in London - grey, damp cold and dark. The thought of this evening's Takemitsu and Ligeti gig shines through!

          "The skies are charcoal gray,
          It's a dreary downtown day,
          But at the end of my 40 foot leash,
          Is my little friend Quiche.
          Quiche La Poodle is her name
          And having a good time on a crummy day is our game.
          Quiche Quiche Lorraine
          Quiche Quiche Lorraine
          Everyday I take her out. Yea!
          She runs around, she shouts out and barks, Yeah!"

          And I think we can all learn something from these wise words from Fred and his gang.

          Have a nice day.

              If it's any consolation (though I rather doubt that it will be), it's no better here in Herefordistan and there's so such gig around these parts to attend!

              Mind you, Wallace Stevens notwithstanding, A Mind of Winter is something wot I 'aven't got(ten), for the moment that the air temperature drops below around 12.5⁰ I've had it, really; I just can't do winter...

                No, eighth, but I'm a long way from Falkirk - and why would I want to go there, anyway?

                Weather up here quite placid - slightly cold - but very pleasant, nonetheless.

                  Falkirk is the smallest town in Britain with 3 professional football teams. Fact.

                  (if you include Stenhousemuir which is in the borough, I think).

                        Yes, it is. My uncle played centre half for Stenhousemuir (aka "The Warriors") in the 1930s.

                          Didn't know they were the Warriors . Brilliant name.
                          Do you have a photo you could post of your uncle in a warriors team line up?I can't offer anything so glamorous, I'm afraid

                          Of course, my trivia was for the benefit of English persons, but good to have confirmation . Thanks Mangers

                            So is that Charlie Mingus Album in any way connected?
