Watching the weather conditions shifting and hoping all my friends in the US and Canada stay safe ( that earthquake). It is hard yo read the news without having to deal with screeds of misogyny, homophobia and racism, not unlike wading through sewage.
Never mind. In my corner of the world, the Great Dane is in time out for affectionately chewing the tail of the small Chub, who lay there passively glum and outraged until I intervened and put Satchi out at the front, still munching on fluffy tail. The Housemate is supposed to be resting in bed and getting better: instead, she is chopping firewood at the back. The just-fixed fridge is humming away and making clunk-clunk noises from time to time. There is large bunch of pink roses on my study desk. It’s good, it’s bad, it’s what it is.
On a more elevating note — contralto Karen Clark singing the music of Hildegard of Bingen, composed 800 years ago.
Oh my, the Hildegarde music is lovely, and Karen Clark’s contralto just the right voice for it. Thanks for taking me away from those “screeds” the news is full of.
We need a break from what passes as ‘news’ don’t we?
How beautiful! Thank you.
A pleasure Mary Christine — there is a CD of her music just out and making waves.
The weather looks bad for the northeastern part of the US. Very strong and unusual storm.
Syd I’m watching Hurricane Sandy approach and hoping everyone on the East Coast will be safe.
