Well, another very chilly day and feeling more like winter than spring. Still, it has not bothered me too much as I have been stuck indoors doing nine phone call mystery shops. All done now thankfully.

Lunch was chicken pie, peas, mash and onion gravy.

Also, today (April 6th) is the date of the death of composer Igor Stravinsky who passed away in 1971.

Think I will post some of his music later.

A couple of pieces from the maestro -

Stravinsky - Symphony In 3 Movements 1: Allegro




Stravinsky - Symphony in C major: Movement IV: Largo

These are the answers to The brain teasers.

1. Why might the following form a portentous quartet: Herbert's invasion story, Daniel's 365-day chronicle, Patrick's great hunger, and Ernest's post-meridian event?

This is to do with the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
The invasion story is by H.G. Wells, "War Of The Worlds", the 365-day chronicle is Daniel Defoe's " Chronicle Of The Plague Year", Patrick's Great Hunger is the poem by Patrick Kavanagh on the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s, and the post-meridian event is  the  Ernest Hemingway's  Death In The Afternoon.

In other words, the Four Horsemen being War, Death, Plague and Famine.


2. Dev Patel getting lost; Riz Ahmed trying to blow things up; Copenhagen getting a sculpture and Frank Skinner singing. Can you put these in the correct order?

This is a question about Lions. Dev Patel played a child on a quest for his estranged family in India, in the 2016 film Lion. Riz Ahmed was among the actors conspiring to commit terrorist explosions in the Chris Morris satire Four Lions. A sculpture by Lauritz Jensen with the title Two Lions, also known as The Disgruntled Ones, was moved to its current location in Copenhagen's Faelledparken in 2012. Frank Skinner (along with David Baddiel and Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds) was behind the football anthem Three Lions.
