Thursdays

[Padraig]

Alison
Thursday has been the evening for classical concerts here (in the UK City of Culture) for many years, and this evening is no exception. I'm off to a late concert by the Brodsky Quartet - Janacek, Schubert and Barber.
Thank you for introducing me to Mrs Thursday.........

I thought spring started 21st March?

Pleasant thread, btw, Alison. Could only exist on these MBs, I think! :-) Nice to have no acrimony too. I like Thursdays too, for some reason. Always used to be the favourite for going out. Still is, in a way. Vey much a "locals" night. Fri and Sat can get busy in the pubs.

spring starts March 1st in my mind, whatever the technicalities ! Its a long enough winter without putting spring off another 3 weeks !!

Surely Spring starts on the day when the weather changes
whatever the calendar says ?

by that logic, winter starts the minute they start playing cricket.

Enjoy it, Padraig.. (I've deleted my sour comment about culture down this way.) Just - lucky you!

"Mrs. Thursday" was the B side (does that count?) of a Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich hit.

No Dave Dee?

No Dave Dee?

It was enjoyable, ff, thank you. They played all three pieces without a break - a sort of one movement emotional journey; first the Quartettsatz, then the Barber Adagio before Intimate Letters. It worked for me, and it was quite exciting without applause between pieces. Not a stray handclap! What a cultured audience

Yes, the absence of 'Dave Dee' spoils the rhythm and the dynamics that you get when you say 'Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich' Hit those Ds.

Nearly there again, folks. Three weeks into Spring by teamsaint's reckoning . . .

Tomorrow is going to be one of those special Thursdays Alison,you know the ones that are like Fridays,because I have a day off on Friday,yaaa hooo.

As the train is much less full on a Friday and traffic is also less than the rest of the week I conclude that most workers seem to take Friday off! No chance for me, I'm afraid except on high days and holidays like last Friday at Cheltenham. The funny thing is that when you take Friday off, Thursday still feels like a Thursday if you know what I mean.

Anyway, enjoy the day, ER

I get every Friday off but have to work three out of four Saturdays.

An Easter break beckons for many next week.

I have an odd one: off today (godsprog event out of London) and Friday morning, back for a client lunch and Friday afternoon in t'office... then Monday and Tuesday off too due to a trip out to Cambridge on Monday for St Matthew Passion in King's Chapel in the evening: KCC, Academy of Ancient Music and good soloists inc. Andreas Scholl ... staying over or coming back v late after post-Passion supper, t.b.c.!

Not sure what this Friday evening will feel like... but you can't argue with only ½ day left to work this week, and a two-day week next week

(Mind you last weekend I had to put in a few hours each on Saturday and Sunday, the weekend's not always sacred for me either, alison & ts.... )
