A trip to the moon on gossamer wings


After months of sulking, our Spanish Flag vine (Ipomoea lobata) has finally decided to put on a show!

Once again, it's been a slow start to Sunday. I didn't arise till 2pm today, having spent the whole of yesterday at John-John's, for another "Marvel-geek-fest-binge-watch" - we watched the whole series of Moon Knight [sometimes scary, sometimes emotional, and completely stunning!] and all six episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law to date [the series isn't finished yet; it's very quirky and takes a completely opposite tone to Moon Knight, with some quite funny moments].

How about a little double-bill of "Sunday Music", courtesy of a newly-discovered Czech diva?

This new discovery came, surprisingly, courtesy of the BBC's classical music station Radio 3, so it's obvious that there is more to the lady's talents than performing Dance Band numbers - she is Mrs (or, more properly, Lady) Simon Rattle, after all, and here she is (in a rather odd video) showcasing her magnificent mezzo-soprano talents:

Phew.

    1. Indeed. It took longer than expected to get home (some idiot decided to break the platform security doors at one of the tube stations en route so we had to wait for someone to fix that before we could move), so didn't get through the door till gone 1am, and then I couldn't sleep so didn't turn in till about 3.30...

      Hey ho. That's what weekends are for! Jx

    1. Spanish Flag is a stunning thing (when it's not sulking) - see here. Glad you enjoyed the choons [although I am not sure how Johann Sebastian Bach would have felt about his cantatas being referred to in such a crude manner]! Jx

    1. It is good - not laugh-out-loud comedy, but amusing and entertaining nonetheless. Jx

      PS or should that be "Handel-ed" it?
