Very impressed with the rapidity of rubbers' solution to that one. The more I looked at it the more obscure it appeared to me.
Prawn baguette, Caliban? Only my favourite lunchtime treat (also usually ingested over desk).

How very irritating you are, Taps. Now I can't get 'Music to Watch Girls By' out of my headOriginally posted by Tapiola View Post
Re. R: once I was on the perfume scent, the violinist was obvious. Knowing there was a film connection, I just had to look up Christina Ricci's roles. Simples.
Apologies for the delay, the service in the restaurant was abnormally slow. Nevertheless, a very pleasant poached salmon in hollandaise and a glass of Viognier with my favourite female colleague...
Which S, who enjoyed a Proms outing in 2007, was distracted by the banter of washerwomen but still got there before Tallis?Comment

Apologies rubbers. The Girls are now out of my head and there is some horrible pop muzak going round my head, wot I heard in the local shop when purchasing an ice lolly.
Sounds like a salubrious luncheon experience.
As for "S",

Alessandro Striggio?
Prom 17/7/07 -40-part Motet Ecce Beatem Lucem may have inspired Tallis to write 40-part motet Spem in Alium, also performed at that concert

"Spem in Alium" was a commissioned by the Duke of Norfolk as a challenge to the Striggio work.
Congrats, mercia. Do we have to wait for rubbernecker to clear the way for T ?
Meanwhile, I am off the clear the tea-table.Comment

I don't know about your visitor having a nap, mercia, but my visitors have already gone and I am quite drained. I might not get out of bed early tomorrow.
Now, I go to a private view and I shall need a rest after that, too.
Maybe T will be in full swing when I get back.Comment
