Yes, I've had me surgical scrubs on and have inserted loads of stuff, like cannulas

What, seriously?

[vinteuil]

have inserted loads of stuff, like cannulas

... ah, cannulas - those vibrant tender perennials that produce bold leaves and showy flowers in shades of red, orange, yellows and pinks. I'm told it is a useful summer bedding plant for both containers and borders, but does well in cool conservatories in summer.

OH!

I was so discombobulated by the 'cannula insertion' tangent, plus no one seems to have had a crack at mercia's E... I missed it !

I'll delete and save it for later, ta Northo

Nabat, Romantique, to Colette

three symphonies
[one was last night]

[Flay]

Talking about nabats, I didn't need an alarm this morning: the cat jumped on me - it's lucky to be alive!

Rubbra'a Eleventh Symphony was dedicated to his wife Colette. Shostakovitch's Eleventh was broadcast last night.

[Northender]

The 4th movement of the Shostakovitch is called 'Tocsin' and has something to do with a magazine called Nabat.

[Northender]

...and Milhaud's Eleventh is Romantique.

oh, didn't realise it was his wife

wikipedia reckons Nabat is a translation of Tocsin

Cementing this message is the subtitle for the symphony's final movement, "Nabat" (translated in English as "tocsin" or "alarm" or "the alarm drum")

...and Milhaud's Eleventh is Romantique.

well done, three eleventh symphonies

the caliban E will have to wait
