    Dacha, you really should be in the land of nod tho I think I know a wee Scottish family who will also be awake in Moscow just now. Rostropovich is still my husbands favourite tho I am patriotic and think our NIcola Benedetti is first class

    its snowing....hard☹️  If Punk is where I think he is it will look beautiful. Stay warm Joyce!

    we watched Scent of a Woman tonight, how have I missed this beautiful film

     Night all sleep well

  • Lily P ....I'm wide awake ...as I am helping my BH with some English , note the capital E, Skype sessions...even though she is way South of me .....should that be a capital S or not ? I so love the English language ......is that even right?

    I was taught that South should be upper case if used in a place name, e.g. New South Wales, but very few of the old rules seem to apply. 

    I was also taught that to-day should contain a hyphen, but "today" seems more widespread.

    Wide awake since around 4.30 and start work at 8 so having my first cuppa now.

    Gale force winds overnight so I'll be interested to see how the polytunnel " repairs" held up.

    Re 'S' or 's' ... I would use Skype when using it as a noun as it's the name of a particular manufacturer ... such as Ford or Hoover ... the difficulty arises when using the noun as a verb ... I think that nowadays we happily 'hoover' but Skype is still such a new word that some of us hesitate to 'skype' but it will accepted before very long ... Probably is already really.

    Morning all.

    Restless night - I think it's time to invest in new pillows.

    I did however find  a comedy radio "Shakespeare rewritten - each play in 15 minutes" type affair which has had me giggling.

    My chervil seedlings. They now developing their true leaves since that photo.

    i was reminded when Paul Bocuse passed away. I use his recipe for Potata and Leek Soup which requires Chervil. image There is no way I can get fresh Chervil here. It’s hard enough finding seeds.
