                          Just surfaced after a snooze .... I'd have never got that one in a hundred years!!
                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              Actually, before I take to my bed, this might give the night shift or dawn chorus something to ponder over:

                              U can see the Duke of Alba Smile at a Modest Marriage.

                              G'night, all!
