Today my minidisk is playing Tallis, and Barber. Different artistes, choirs, ensembles on the same themes. And! John Fortune asked for my favourite Tallis on Desert Island Disks this morning, which happened to play the Tallis piece about 4 weeks ago, when Stafford Smith was on. And! as I was reading The Lonely Bones by Alice Sebold, at my desk a couple of hours ago, two of her characters were dancing to Barber's Adagio. Spoooookie or wot?

.Michael, I thought you had hit rock bottom with all the other aliases but this one is really stupid. WHEN are you going to start to entertain us. I don't understand why just because you are a LIAR, DISSEMBLER and FRAUD---you can't be entertaining as well. Other LIARS, DISSEMBLERS and FRAUDS manage it. Why can't you?

I read The Lovely Bones about the girl who was murdered and talks to us from Heaven. I wrote the wrong title down in my previous posting. 
Icicles are so useful aren't they!!?
The book reminded me of Johnathon Livingston Seagull in the way it looked at life from a an entirely different perspective. One of the reviewers of the Lovely Bones said she didn't put the book down once she started to read it. I read it in two days with annoying domestic chores interupting me.

Oh Hi Byron~!
Yes, that happens. I put the wrong things down and don't know it until someone points it out and then I feel like an ass and pretend that I don't. Anyway, the viewpoint is interesting in several ways. In the way I like to see it from is my own personal viewpoint. You have heaven with everything that you need with a sense of your spiritual self and yet you still have interest in the physical realm. You are in both worlds in a way. Yin and Yang. Cor! Where did that come from? Maybe you're acquainted with the Young dr. Freud. I've not met him - he doesn't show up often. Interesting though, perhaps I should book a visit.
Oh, wait. Ok, here we are. Now, as you might be aware, my Seafaring Sisters - the Saltwater Mermaids are rather more, hmmm, shall I say, outgoing than we Freshwater Mermaids. That's probably why you've never heard of us. Anyway, when I first started talking to you and that delighful woman Margaret, I thought, well, OK, I'll come out.
So, I grew a bunch of cultured (freshwater) pearls for the ladies I've met and a bunch of dead trout for the gentlemen. I'd have liked to have done better for the gentlemen, but that's about all I can manage with the lake and all. So, please give Margaret a pearl and have a dead fish. On me. Great.
Have a happy and see you in the New Year.

It's many many years since I saw the film
We went to the cinema especially to see the film but in those days there were always 2 films being shown..the main feature and the support.
JLS was the support film and it was continually being interrupted by people talking (waiting for the main feature I guess) and also the latecomers (arriving for the main feature). It spoilt the occasion and we've not had the opportunity to view it since.
Its many many years since I read the book. I borrowed someone else's copy and I haven't seen one since.
but it's not long ago I played the cd

I'm most ashamed to say I've never read JLS. Nor have I seen the movie. I don't know why. I've heard many good and wonderful things about the book but there was something about the 'hype' surrounding the whole thing that made me put it on hold and I never got to it. I suppose I should.
As the Bones Book goes, I thought it was a nice little story. I put it down, but I picked it up as well.
I was looking at something called 'Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell'. It looked like a fun book (it was in the sale bin, but was still tooo expensive for a softcover).
Books, books, books so many of different kinds, so little time.
Cheers.

I never knew there was a film or cd of Jonathan Living Seagull, but we have the small book still at home.
Linda, thank you for the pearl, a pearl of wisdom perchance?
Very good wishes to you too. I haven't been online much this week, even though I may have switched on appeared to be lurking! I had to leave my computer a lot to attend to urgent domestic upheavals I hope to clear most of the dust and rubble from refitting a new bathroom by tomorrow night. Christmas is therefore on hold right now and tomorrow I will be starting to panic

yes, Margaret.
Can I have my LPs back?
If I remember rightly... the Perry Como Christmas album and Black Sabbath's Carols at Christmas.
Thanking you
Pete
Thankyou also to Critic2 for reminding me.
