Gustav Mahler's 8th symphony (known as Symphony of a Thousand) is one of the greatest choral symphonies.

If it's too long to watch, watch it from 1 hour 17 minutes and 45 seconds for the final section. Starts quietly (the instrument with keyboard which sounds like little bells is called a celeste), and it builds up and up and up.

I’ll check it out later tonight

Yogi, yes I did- you are proxy stretched, de-stressed and feeling positively  

I think making the effort on the yoga mat has hugely improved my post walk recovery. I’ve found a yoga session you tube that’s suitable for runners & walkers, so I’m definitely going to give that a try. You will enjoy proxy doing that session too  

I’m loving my proxy exercises 

I hope they are doing you good 😉

fantastic EL we are doing Haydn's Gloria( + other stuff ) with choir for summer concert instead of Vivaldi's - I like it

night yogi moons summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone hopefully it'll be a little quieter weather wise today. It's been very wet and windy the last few days. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Same as Squiggle, the weather is calmer than the last couple of days. Although it was windier for longer yesterday there didn't seem to be a powerful a gust as on Monday.

Yogi, I'm glad your exrecises are working

Ros, I watched a clip of Haydn's Gloria and I can see why you like it

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

Strong winds and rain again today.

Have a good day, all

Yogi, I had hoped that your weather might have been better today

It's sunny here now though there was a shower. There's more rain and gusts forecast for tomorrow and more rain for Friday but after that it seems that there will be a period of dry weather.

Good afternoon everyone  

What a contrast between yesterday and today 

The sun is shining, a slight breeze blowing but not to cold 

Shopping done, been up the park for a walk. The swan and cygnet are looking lovely 

Time to watch the snooker for a while  

Have a great day, all 

Moonie, I'm glad that your swan and cygnet are looking lovely

I was talking with someone a few minutes ago about sports we watch. Amongst other ones he mentioned darts and snooker. He prefers darts, I prefer snooker. I said that there;s a lot of thinking about the next move(s) at the top level and that snooker is the sport equivalent of chess and darts of chequers

Good afternoon cold with blue skies here, loooooovely  

how are we all? 

yogi, I’m glad you’re enjoying your proxy exercises lol lady night’s session was conducted in my friends living room while she cooked tea!

Hi Sweet and Miss Bramble 🐾🐾

I hope you are both okay 

All is well with me fankoo 😊

It’s nice to be able to put washing on the line for a change  

Summer, your friend must be extremely flexible doing the exercises and cooking tea at the same time

There's a shower of rain here now

£80,00 donation received by Gloucester Cathedral for repair work to the part of the cathdral which includes the tomb of King Edward II.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...cestershire-51103887

The donation was given by the Wolfson Foundation. In the past that has given money for the establishment of Wolfson College, Oxford and Wolfson College, Cambridge. Teams from those two have been in University Challenge over the years. Possibly the best known contestant in recent years is Eric Monkman who was captain of the Cambridge team who got to the final i 2017. Wolfson College, Oxford got through to the next round on Monday's programme.

And if Yogi watches this, I think one would need to be wary about doing one of the three exercises where the man claims this helps reduces sciatic pain.

Solo sports El.

The skill in both is off the scale    

Nighty night, sleep well, sweet dreams Yogi, Rosss and any night 🦉🦉who may pop in  

Weather has been wild up here.

lol El, I think I’ll stick to the physio exercises.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

night yogi moons (lovely news about the swans/cygnets moons) summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone, very windy again this morning and supposed to be showery but dry so far.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Dry here at present, more rain forecast today and windy. No weather warnings from the Met Office for any area.

Google has changed their search results appearance overnight so if you think they look different you are right.

Yogi, I think that's sensible to stay with your physio exercises rather than try those in that clip

I hope everyone has a good day

Got a phone call a few minutes ago from M&S Money asking to speak to a named person (not me). I said there's no one of that name here and have never heard of her. Seems that someone had made an application to them for a loan or credit card and had put my business name down as their employer. They would have got that from something like Yell and been trying to defraud M&S. Just as well M&S don't take things for granted. Somehow I don't think they will be saying yes to the woman, more likely they'll report her for attempted fraud.

Good afternoon a grey day here but it’s warmed up after a cold start. 
how are you all? 

I can now tell you that I’ve been on jury service! I’ve completed my service now though and I can get back to normal life- hurrrrrahhhh!!!!! I was dreading it, but it’s actually been a brilliant experience because I’ve met some really lovely people. 

El, I’m glad m&s have been vigilant and check these things thoroughly  

Summer, I'm glad you were able to get something out of your jury service Obviously you can't go into details

I'm glad that M&S did check it out

Good afternoon everyone  

The weather started off okay here so I shopped 

I decided to go up the park when I got back. I got slightly wet but it was worth it 

It’s chucking it down now and the wind is getting up. Tomorrow is set to worse 

El, good news about M&S 

Sweet, I’m glad you’re jury service is over so you can get back to some normality

Have a great day everyone 

Moonie, it's a bit wet and windy here now

I think HMRC must send them to any self-assessment person where HMRC has their email address but I've received another email from them saying they can give me advice and help if I've yet to send in my tax return

I did mine months ago and have got their tax statement and payslip to pay the tax by the end of the month and it wouldn't look good if I needed their help
