Sounds nice, I did a very nice Rump Roast last night with baked potatoes and an assortment of steamed veggies. Had a very nice aged 1996 Chambourcin to go with it.

Very nice, Algy. In truth I am still wading thru last weeks.

Well, I’m naturally cautious about putting too much personal information on here now. However I’ll just say that he was at an hearing in Hong Kong for 3 weeks. he is a partner in a large International Lawyers. He has to be back in Paris for a meeting on Wednesday, so is coming here for two days to sort out some family matters to do with my mother’s passing.
It will be short but good. We will have a BBQ at my daughter’s new house tonight.
Thanks for the music. It’s just hard to find time to switch it on.

Hey! Bring back Julian the Lad! I was trying to figure out why I nearly fell over laughing on reading this comment, apart from the intrinsic absurdity that is. And I think it is the idea of someone with a face so obviously hitherto untroubled by a conscious thought actually studying.

No sooner do I write that than JL’s gravatar reappears and my own goes funny. No doubt by the time I’ve written this mine will be fine too. Oh well, you’ll just have to take my word for it that your gravatar disappeared for a little while.

JL, maybe you had to work really hard to achieve that look of being a thought free zone. Or just maybe it’s the carefreeness of youth and I haven’t been talking to enough younger people lately.

Originally I was going to do a retrospective in part of his work and probably will do in the future. However once I started this I though him doing others with others made a good list. I love his 70’s and 80’s stuff.

Unreal list & so much work looking it out. Dianne Krall first heard of by me singing a number in duet about a party vis a vis aftermath when the guests have left & behind them ‘glasses & ashtrays & bottles & cans’. So evocative. I saw her on telly with Costello. She was visiting Adelaide during the Fringe. Now at the Arms Ballroom, algy. You work magic.

Thanks shoe, This list was going to have another part to it but as I started I though no a husband/wife listing with different styles would work well. I then found these collaborations with others. Its a beautiful list in the end, something for a lazy March weekend (if only it was). Like the degrees of separation too.
LikeLike
It has proved itself an interesting idea, algy (reading the others’ comments). Also noted your comment to Vivienne about applying to do a computer course and now the place you work for uses it. One of the results of years, isn’t it, that we start to see where we have been in one way or another and sometimes it works out really good. When I see the quality you bring to being the Friday DJ, I think of that algy and I wonder if you have radio experience.

No I don’t shoe, but I do enjoy putting the weekend lists together. I enjoy the music. The theme is often the hardest thing, looking for the best clip can be problematic at times. Some like this one developed as I got into it.

Hope GO’s coffee making will wake up the visitors; he does not make much noise, but the smell of a very strong coffee is wafting upstairs….

I hadn’t thought of that a nice strong coffee whilst listening to this selection. I suspect the sleeping guests may enjoy much of this as well.

We had a storm last Friday, hailstorm actually, strange as in the morning it was rather hot and humid.
There’s a Manchurian Pear three between us and the next house, the last storm split the tree in half, this one damaged it even more…we had a tree lobber cutting it into a manageable size, it will survive…I’m no Tony Abbott, I want all the trees to live and blossom…

If you can here me from afar, Big, Have a great trip. All the best to you and Mrs M. Say g’day to his popefulness. In return, we’ll host the Pellster as he fubbs up in front of the Kiddy Fiddling Royal Commission next week.
Of course, I know how upset you were at missing the anti-Abbott government rallies this weekend. I saw a woman in Glebe with a T-shirt that carried a simple message “Fuck you, Tony Abbott”. I think it was pretty clear what she was trying to get across, and being a lady of generous proportions, it was a rather large message propelled right across the inner west.
And… since I know you were concerned about our local tempests, I can say in truth that it pissed down here in inner utopia, two evenings in a row now. We’ve started to refer to the this as “the wet season”. Thankfully the new roof is holding up well, but there’s not many roofy killer watts rolling down into the grid at the moment.

I was here first (as I so often am) – what luck. I did the chores and now have the Saturday papers and this music to listen to. So beautiful and cool. Well, I’ve been listening for quite some time and getting distracted by other songs. I always loved the Look of Love and she doesn’t mess them up. When I bought my first computer in 1989 I never would have imagined that I could be listening to free music via the net and also have such good sound etc etc.

A year or so before that I asked to learn a particular program related to the work I did. People laughed at me including my bosses but let me go. six months later there’s a downturn but the computer work is booming and I’m working a 6 day week. Funny how they took off and did the same course. Still use the program today but it does way more than I could ever use.
Like music though, who’d have thought that you can download this in high definition often with a clarity of sound. I didn’t think Diana Krall messed any of those classics up. More brings something to them 40-50 years on.
