Good morning everyone it's a bit windy this morning. Hope everyone is well.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Good morning everyone
Cloudy but dry here, may get some sunshine later.
Ros, I remembered that you has sung the Requiem a few times but couldn't find that you had sung the Great Mass which was why I posted that performance 
Going out this morning to a client meeting and have another client coming here mid-afternoon. Both meetings are routine straightforward ones.
I hope eevryone has a good day
If you've never seen the 1944 film Laura before, it's worth watching. It's on BBC 2 on Saturday at 13.30.
Opening credits:
Classic film noir - Dana Andrews is a police detective investigating the murder of Laura (shot before the film starts) - that's a picture of her seen during the credits.
Otto Preminger was not one of those directors whose films I liked, but Laura is the exception.

The other client should be arriving here soon though he's a bit haphazard when it comes to timing
Welcomes
Charge him for your âdowntimeâ El
Only joking, of course
In 2 days time I will have known him for 53 years. That's when my parents bought their house and we moved in - he and his younger sister "helped" us move in as he lived just down the road (and still does).
There's a delightful clip on the BBC site but it may be too soon for Moonie to want to watch:

oh my goodness what a loud shrill call
night EL Moons
summer if you pop in yogi - missing you
Good morning everyone.
Itâs good to be back but Iâm feeling the cold.
I havenât read back yet so I hope all is well in Buddyland
Hubby and I will be going shopping today....cakes will be bought.
Catch up later.
Ros, I can understand the slight similarities between "A Ceremony of Carols" and "The Armed Man" as both are influenced by older music and texts. If you ever saw any of those Sharpe (Sean Bean) television films, those do include some older military songs which have some similarity with "The Armed Man".

El Loro posted:Just cut the grass. Still rather misty and damp on the ground but it's forecast to be rainy later today, tomorrow, Friday and Saturday so I thought I'd better. Probably the last cut this year.
It was actually foggy here first thing El but we have had some sunshine. Itâs not to bad actually. Rain forecast for 10pm this evening
Well done on getting your lawn/s cut
Washing been out for several hours now. More in the washer. Shopping done but off out again now I have had a quick lunch break
Back later
Re the current "Just Eat" advert - couple on sofa watching TV and there's bits of what might be extracts from TV programmes and films.
One of the extracts looks a bit like David Niven in a plane with other planes seen through the window - he's wearing a WW2 bomber jacket.
His image is what' seen att the front of this clip so you don't need to play it:
I had wondered if it had been taken from the 1946 film "A Matter of Life and Death". Niven's first scene in that film is where he's is the badly damaged bomber talking on the radio to Kim Hunter.
I checked that out and it's not (no planes seen through the window, the microphone is very different, Niven is very definitely not laughing or singing) and his face is sooty from the flames from his burning plane). The section of that advert is clearly thinking of that scene though.
Leaves cakes for everyone

Rained here during the night, dry but totally overcast at present and more rain expected later. More rain forecast for tomorrow and Saturday seems to be a washout.
Going out to meet a client in a while - probably routine meeting.
