Yesterday i visited Ashford to do a Cineworld cinema mystery shop. Had some nice ice cream whilst there , although it is no longer Ben & Jerry's famous ice creams, but Baskin and Robin, which is good, but not as good as B&J.

Friday , whilst in Sittingbourne , i got caught by a market research interviewer to taste some shortbread at the church hall below the Swale FM offices.  They said it only takes ten minutes. It wasn't that long and for my ten minutes of time i was given a High Street shopping voucher of five pounds to spend.  I can use it in HMV or Waterstones as well as other places, so on my next visit to Canterbury i shall do that, as i have a mystery shop to do in the city this month.

Started reading the classic Winnie The Pooh book, (a book from my childhood)  in combination with the The Pooh Perplex book and Postmodern Pooh book.

Winnie the Pooh by A.A. MilneThe Pooh Perplex: A Student Casebook by…Postmodern Pooh by Frederick C. Crews

The other two books put Pooh into a structuralist post-modern milieu of semiotics, philosophy, close reading and deconstruction, and yet all tongue-in cheek with a wicked sense of humour.

Two more Pooh related books to look out for are Pooh and The Philosophers, and Pooh and The Psychologists, i kid you not.

So, a bit late with the morning tune, i have chosen   Haydn's The Creation.



This is the Harnoncourt version as i was looking for the Gardiner version on YT but was unable to find it.
Please note, this is almost two hours of the full oratorio so feel free to listen to as much as you want or can stand, lol.

Enjoy.

Well after watching "Moses Jones" on iPlayer i then listened to some music via the headphones as she was watching something on the TV, so i dug out some John Adams CDs.

This is what i played -

John Adams "Harmonium / Choruses from "Klinghoffer" (Nonesuch CD)



He is my favourite American composer and this is just so sublime.


John Adams "El Niño" (Nonesuch 2xCD)




Technically an opera but again has that wonderful Adams touch to it. And i am not a great opera fan but i put it on a hogh with his "Nixon In China" opera.
