Saturday.


Above photo  is  of youngest daughter, Lizzie. She is spending a week with us, and generally helping about the  place. She has  recently remarried, and now lives in Spain, on the south coast; so  popping over to England for  a week to look after the 'oldies' is quite an undertaking, and we are very grateful for her efforts.

"La Donna È Mobile" as that old composer of Wrigglytoes used to say...

Mike said...

I always thought that Wriggleatoe was the composer's name? I assume he was a furriner of some description - Tipp's End or Upwell or Italy or somewhere??

Hello! Hello! Do you have a different blog address? I lost all of my favorite blogs and have been trying to gather them again. So glad you left a comment so I can keep in touch! How have you two been? I will go back and find out on your posts! Thank you so much for checking in.

Hello Lori. Hope you're both well. I've been having great problems sending comments, and indeed accepting them from other bloggers. Took a chance on getting through to you earlier this afternoon -it obviously worked; and by another miracle you got back to me successfully. We must both keep trying, I think!

I don't know verdi heck you got that idea Mike; Rigoletto is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi, an Italian opera composer born near Busseto, a bit South of Tipp's End, I believe, possibly even South of Manea, to a provincial family of moderate means. (He may have composed Spanish operas too... )
I just thought your little Liz was leaping about a bit in furrin parstas, as mobile young ladies will these days.

Dear Crowbard. I don't think the missionaries have explored South of Manea as yet, have they?

Crowbard said...

Not recently Mike, I think Vic Woods thought about converting them but when I told him the Italians were mainly Catholic and dwelt beyond the sundering seas whence his motorcycle could not go, he decided it might be safer to pray for them instead. I felt he had rather got the idea that Welney Wash was the sundering sea....
