Weep You No More Sad Fountains

This song has become my latest obsession. It may yet cause me to attempt to learn to play the piano in order to accompany it, because, gods know, I cannot hold a tune! Watching Garageband monitor the tuning was an excruciating experience. I suck. But I love the song…

I recently watched ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and was so taken with the song that I decided to seek it out and learn it. Probably driving the husband nuts in the meantime :)

Fierce cyclist

I was going to write this last night, but ‘Becoming Jane’ had arrived from Amazon DVD rentals, so I was forced to watch it. Yum.
On the way home last night I encountered, as I often do, a herd of 50 or so stampeding joggers, occupying the whole of the pavement on the Braywick Road. This pavement is a cycle path and pedestrian walkway so we were all entitled to be using it. What amused me greatly was, as I approached, the lead jogger yelled ‘bike’ - a cry which was rapidly taken up by the rest of the herd as they veered out of my way. It put me in mind of a flock of sheep avoiding a predator, with the bleat of terror being propagated back through the herd, and I was forced to giggle crazily as I cycled past, no doubt adding to my reputation as a fearsome beast. Can’t be helped.
