Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

the life of Boris Godunov dramatised by Alexander Pushkin in his play of 1831, incidental music by Sergei Prokofiev (1936).
and a 1710 opera by Johann Mattheson, rediscovered this century and first performed 2005.
Mattheson (1681-1764) - according to wikipedia - was a friend of Handel but on one occasion had an argument with him resulting in Handel being stabbed but saved by a button - so now you know
there are also two vocal "Boris Monologues" by Sergei Rachmaninov

No, nobody did
We were too worried about Hedgehog, and also shocked to discover Anna and ferney whipping...
Thankyou for all your kind wishes. Friday evening is not a good time to have an accident, I had to wait quite a while, but my paw did get stitched up & it's OK but swollen. Gash in palm, so a bit limited for a few days.

Lordy hodge, what were you doing? Shucking oysters?
Very good to know that you are stitched up and welcome back!
