thanks as always for these! some of my fave quotes this week:
“People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make.”
— G.K. Chesterton
“If Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at twenty-two, the history of music would have been very different. As would the history of aviation, of course.”
— Tom Stoppard
“People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what’s wrong with it.”
I enjoy'd it but am distracted by spring. The doves are fluttering and flirting in the beechtrees outside my balcony. Mr. Dove chases her from branch to branch like a sexpest. The pervert.
I can appreciate your concern and will try to convey a more upbeat sort of wildlife scenes in the future. Well, I say wildlife ... parklife would be more honest. Still, Mr. & Mrs. Dove seem to have settled down a bit in their refurbished nest now. Same crook between two branches as last year's nest -- same crook as every year. My only worry is the marauding pair of squirrels I've spotted with my binoculars. You might think they look cute, but they are in fact perfectly happy to devour the unborn.
Oh ... I'm at it again, aren't I? Sorry!
I do lead a life of action and adventure, I really do.

Heh!
That's all you'll get out of me this week.

If the comment section exclusively becomes cranky reviews of the views from reader windows, I will be profoundly chuffed
