Blossom Dearie - I Like London In The Rain

Whilst I did do one sandwich shop here in Faversham today, it was not the major thought that I have in this old head of mine. No, it is the continuing tragedy of the bush fires that have ravaged the landscape of Australia. It is so heartbreaking to hear of the unique animals of the continent that have lost their lives, and the fact that many are endangered in the first place. I also feel sad for the loss of life of people who got trapped and firefighters who tried to curb this unfolding armageddon. But I am also aghast at the perfunctory attention and sheer bloodymindedness of the government that seem enthralled to the love of fossil fuels as their salvation. According to

waitingman this has been a tragedy that started years ago. (See his comment on my bros' journal

coming42).

I just hope that soon they can gain control over this tragic event as I am concerned about all my LJ friends who live there such as

waitingman and

kabuldur as well my Quiz Planet playing colleague Jennifer Preston.

The number ONE is the only number in the correct reverse alphabetical order. What other number is in the correct alphabetical order?
Hint - there is only one. Answers tomorrow.

Oh yes!

Here is another quiz and I did not falter -

Quiz: Are these music genres fake or real?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/64f90c5a-7092-4308-a87e-8804e3807660

Your score: 10 / 10
You are nerdcore!
"No one call pull the musical wool over your ears. You can tell your freak folk from your fidget house, and have the playlists to prove it. Well done!"

Why might Richard Wilson be incredulous at a motorbike, a boys' comic, Dr Frankenstein and the Radio Corporation of America?

My earlier diatribe against some aspects of World Book Night might have been a bit premature vis a vis being concomitant with the birthday of Shakespeare. Looking closer at each of these free books I noticed that each one has a different sonnet by Shakespeare, and that with each of the thirty titles there is a different sonnet for each book.

Also this week on television will start a season on the oeuvre of Shakespeare and a special QI evening centred on the bard, hosted by the affable charms of Stephen Fry.

My blog entry on that evening has made the first page on Google search. Amazing!

Today I have felt a little lacklustre in mood, and for no apparent reason. I suspect that the weather has something to do with, but a few moments in the garden this afternoon,when the sun came out to warm the air, bucked me up no end. Sunny weather makes me feel good inside.

I have been filling in the questions of a quiz I picked up from Ashford library , and I am now left with four of the most fiendishly difficult ones left , and all associated with books. The deadline for doing them is May 5th.Due to answering this quiz has resulted in doing very little book reading except that one on Montaigne, and I am wondering will I ever get to the end of that book.

I now know why my sales on Play have been stagnant. I have noticed that my listings, whilst appearing on my own page, have not shown up when customers log in to look at items online against my competitors. I have emailed Play about this to get them to sort it out. It has happened once before and an email to them did the trick. That débâcle with the Big Bang Theory DVD has been resolved as well. They have refunded my money and now it is back in my site balance. I might just use the balance to buy some books or more Woody Allen movies,or even purchase BBT series 4 from another affiliated Play trader.

I have also added some singles to the Discogs site, as this is doing quite well currently with another slab of vinyl to post off tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will be in Sittingbourne again but will traverse to Faversham beforehand , as I have a Folio Society edition of the best of Punch magazine (from the Faversham Society charity shop) to pick up in the morning, and a cheque from Santander to deposit.

Finally, birthday wishes go to my sister-in-law for Thursday. Brother is taking her somewhere special over the weekend and my lips are sealed on the subject as to where it is.
