Easter ride

Last week's was very much an Egg driven post but this week we're turning that around a little.

Oh it is a different world all right with no "Clunk click every trip" as rather like I did and perhaps you might of  too you just sat on any suitable spot back then - I travelled on school trips atop of a small dustbin - cos nothing was around then to stop you.

Thank the stars we're a bit more sensible about becoming a projectile hitting doors if not glass when the breaks go on sharp such as some kind of incident these days but really it's that passenger seat that holds my attention.

Anybody going "aww that's a beautiful dress and bonnet" definitely has a point not super fussy (do I do "fussy"-no!) but a lovely print that just looks right but the we have that easter bunny, a duck and a traditional wicker basket with ducklings in of which she has one in her hand.

Don't you wish that could of been you?

Interestingly the picture is from 1953 which is a pretty long time ago I'm reliably informed but it's enough to want to go back to a time when children were just that and rather less mini adults.

Easter 2022

 Today's not normal, nor was Friday which is why the bigger blog was a bit different than usual and obviously today's here also is.

You can't keep Fairy Bunnies away, well fairies, sprites and the like generally actually not when they are in today's main event.

You may of done this when you were official younger and probably do now right down to wearing a pretty dress doing it.

A treasure hunt of any sort is just fun! Toss in Eggs as the object and well I'd be delirious!

There are a couple of eggs here and this is the main one, very kawaii as you'd expect of me even if I'm more "no frills, no fuss" made by a well known Midlands chocolate maker which was eggsellent news.

Happy  easter everyone/everyfur!

Slow downs

 

Things are going a bit different here not that I've stopped reading my comics, book and few programs on tv that I can easily follow and therefore actually get into.

Nor despite the rather rough weather here of late have I stopped going out for much needed fresh air, total switch off from everything the screen on wall is showing right now not to mention all the stuff at on websites and on various social media.

Put it this way extraordinarily given the general ban around politics on one music site, they are on the umpteenth Ukraine thread in Off Topics which I'm purposely avoiding simply cos when I want to talk about music and maybe film I'm so not needing that stuff and especially knowing each person political views, I'm tuning out.

The bigger concern as those at the FA know is the Grump has been off his feet and the issues that's causing given the lack of support from what in law is family although he was recovering at the weekend given you can wait eons for a phone call and you have to fight a load techno stuff to even get through with a message which isn't replied to with any promptness.

That means relying more on the neighbours instead.

A spot more Beethoven and his violin sonatas

Sometimes people may say "But you've got one recording of" as you take ownership of another.

The amazing thing in the world of classical music is that often different combinations of conductors and players have different things to say from the same score of a composition over and above any technical differences in the sound.

For me this group of three Sonata's as performed by the acclaimed violinist Rachel Podger with Christopher Glynn on piano brings a freshness to the score I haven't heard before and there is a magical airiness in the recording that just takes you into the venue.
 

Recorded in a gap between covid restrictions that hit performance live and recorded hard  this is one to keep I feel.

Technically this plays in stereo on a regular cd player and stereo plus surround sound for those with super audio cd players or other equipment that can play them such as some Blu Ray players.
