"Eugene Onegin" was a novel in verse form written by Alexander Pushkin and made into an opera by Tchaikovsky.
Aram Khachaturian wrote the ballet "Spartacus" This is the adagio for Spartacus and Phrygia from the start of suite 2:

No, it hasn't been anything like as bad as yesterday so far. I could feel the top of my computer desk vibrating due to the sound waves. They would have been using power drills through the wall so would have been over 100 decibels in my room so my hearing would have been damaged unless I had put in ear plugs etc or left the house. (power drills can be 130 decibels)

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Good morning everyone it's overcast and cooler this morning, very welcome as the night was uncomfortably hot with rumbles of thunder. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Warm and humid here, breaks down tonight. Two thunderstorm warnings in place here. The earlier one ends soon, the next one starts at noon and it's that one which could have greater impact than the first one.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

Hot here already and set to reach 27° with thunderstorms 

We shall see 

Have a great day but a always, stay safe  

Moonie, slightly less hot here but more humid than yesterday. May not get any rain today but looks as if there could be heavy rain and thunderstorms so could be very wet.

Candidate for the shortest double yellow lines in the world (not really )

Good afternoon all 

Rained overnight but no thunderstorm. It’s cloudy and muggy atm.
I’ve been to the hospital this morning and there is a lot of surface water on the roads.
lol at those yellow lines, El.
Have a good day and stay safe everyone 

Yogi, I hope all went well

I think there's going to be lots of surface water here tomorrow. Thunderstorm warning in place until 9 tomorrow morning. Met Office weather symbols don't have any thundery symbols here during then. But they do for 11.00 and 13.00 tomorrow morning. So the warning period doesn't match the symbols

I think the workmen finished their work next door a couple of hours ago. This morning was like yesterday, relatively quiet compared to Wednesday.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros, Velvet and Moonie.

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning and much cooler. I hope everyone managed to sleep OK and hopefully with no thunderstorms to disturb your sleep. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy and cooler outside, will take time for inside to cool dowm. Showers/rain forecast and possibly some hail.

I recorded that Everest documentary but haven't seen it yet.

I hope everyone has a good day

Rewatched that 1947 Nicholas Nickleby film last night. Good but not in the same league as David Lean's Dickens films.

Trivia point. The part of Mr Bray was played by George Relph, the father of Michael Relph who was a writer, producer and art director of a number of Ealing films.
The part of of Mr Bray's daughter Madeline was played by Jill Balcon, the daughter of Michael Balcon, the major film producer of Ealing films.
3 years later Jill Balcon married Cecil Day-Lewis and their son of course is Daniel.

Good morning everyone 

Cloudy and showery weather.

I’ve had a bit of a lazy morning so I need to get moving.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone  

Heavy showers forecast changing to cloudy in the afternoon 

Currently raining 

Have a great day each but as always, stay safe  

Sends rocket to Yogi

As with Yogi and Moonie it's been raining here, Shorter queue outside M&S this morning so didn't have to wait in the rain. Just had a heavy shower here a few minutes ago so my timing worked well.

I hope all are okay
