    Any road up, I am hammering into this frosty Thursday with Mr Sibelius and his cunningly titled Symphony #6
    Have a good Thursday all !
    I hear the opening chords quite a lot! Overcast - no frost here!

      That sounds like damning with faint praise!
      Course you are in Balmy (SP? !) Devon...so it would be sunny.

      Course Thursday is pension day . Once made the mistake of needing to buy a stamp in a Paignton office on a thursday....those things stay with you........

        Not damning with faint praise - it is a great work but it strikes when opening up Sibelius 6!

        Wash your mouth out with soap young man Devon indeed!!!!!

            When we all go over to the 8-day week, you'll be able to choose to have a 3-day weekend, or Thursdays off completely. Any takers?

                Another week going by in a flash as the relentless progress towards Christmas continues.

                Lots of ageing folk out for lunchtime meals strikes me as another aspect of the quintessential Thursday.

                  don't even think of going for a bite in a garden centre on over 60's day this time of year...positively dangerous !!
                  Last Thursday seems to have passed without incident, judging by the thread.
                  I am thinking of having a bit of a Beethoven Thursday...but 40 minutes before I leave, so time to change. Heading west.......
                  Have great Thursdays all.....

                    Have been listening to the Abbado set of Beethoven symphonies on the way to work this week coupled with the Trevor Pinnock Bach B minor Mass.

                    Wonderful anchors in such a dizzying time of the year.

                        From (vague) memory, Thursday is the only day of the week that wasn't in the title of a Top 40 record?

                        Things might have changed in this Millennium.

                          ... but does occur in the lyrics of Easybeats 'Friday on my mind' Thursday goes too slow and Darkness 'Friday Night' Thursday is Archery!

                            Two hippos snoozing in a swamp, one says to the other " You know, I keep thinking it's Thursday "

                              Well before you know it we are almost at the second one of 2013.
                              I am expecting a good day, cool but pleasant weather, and some good things going on.
                              I have some nice new CD's to listen to , so set fair, I think !

                              Have a good Thursday, whatever you are up to.
                              I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                                3 people a little hard of hearing meet -

                                hhp 1 "It's windy today, isn't it?"

                                hhp 2 "Oh, I thought it was Thursday"

                                hhp3 "So am I - let's go for a coffee"
