What wine should i bring?

Hi!👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

I'm a big fan of the Dutch radio station NPO but am bewildered by recent programming! Last Sunday - Bach St Matthew Passion (Makela conducting the RCO live) - and Friday Bach St Matthew Passion (Suzuki conducting, also live). Two complete SMPs in a week...???

"Imagine" on repeat interspersed with Whitney "Houston's foghorn song "I will always love you" .

I have just enjoyed a lovely week off, doing various tasks at home and just revelling in Not Being At Work. Of course, Monday morning will start to loom at some point over the weekend but am doing my very best Not To Think About It...

They look fabulous!!! D'you need a taster...?

Fabulous!!!

Sending condolences thoughts and prayers

I'm reading that José van Dam has died in his mid-80s. Karajan's Gurnemanz (amongst loads of other roles, of course)

Hang on a minute.....!! I really must protest and raise my y banner in support of all things Morris-Dancy....!!!

Hallmark Cards have a vacancy just for you in their "occasions Not yet catered for" dept....😉

I'm sure there's a Halle cd featuring this work and an acoustic recording of some old chap singing the folk song used by Delius.

"this is my promise to you -
The rainbow overhead...
Violet indigo blue and green...
All the colours that lie between...
Violet indigo blue and green
Yellow orange and red"

(Sing along!)

I'm not sure he ever attained "superstar" status but I've many of his great recordings. Ripe old age too. RIP.

It's been raining since the late Middle Ages....

In charity shops today, my restraint should have won n an award. 6 books, a cafetiere (unused), a large killner -type jar, and a shirt (which was miles too small), but I did not buy a cdset of Karajan's 1960s Beethoven symphony cycle at the almost irresistible price of £1. The struggle was acute.

Nun habe ich hunger

Jägerschnitzel?🙂

Emily would have loved them

Still to many beans in my not terribly humble opinion but that looks most acceptable...

I do appreciate the public service you're providing with this series of observations. Even though of course I'm not their target market. I look forward to your spin-off project re their men's clothing...

Now that really IS awful...

Doesn't everyone?...😉

Tend to prefer a funereal black....

Including rock hard chunky carrots....

Blue...??? Grey, surely...!

No, not my colour either (pace @aitch62.bsky.social )

I must stop buying CDs
I must stop buying CDs
I must stop buying CDs

Oh look, interesting Grace Williams CDs...

Eeeeeeeeeuuuuuuwwwwww

Why was it so disappointing? The black of mushrooms and the excessive provision of hash browns?
