A Palm House Concert

صورة
It was a bit of a rush but I got to Liverpool, met my friend Colin and got to the Palm House in Sefton Park for 7.27pm …minutes before the concert started. We had bought tickets to a rather attractive string quartet playing a selection of film scores by candlelight amid the wonderful backdrop of the Victorian hot house and it was all rather civilised and rather sweet Bravely the quartet picked some BIG numbers by John Williams , who is known more for his full orchestra set pieces with lots of horn ( so to speak) but they tried their best with the likes of Jurassic Park and Star Wars before giving a lovely rendition from Schindler’s List . Their pieces by the composer Danny Elfman more much more lyrical and interesting and seemed more suited to the backdrop of palm trees, a thousand candles ( well battery operated ones) and dozens of banana fronds smelling a little like pee   from Going Gently https://ift.tt/3CY0eOS

The message

 May my life Be a light A beacon of hope A fruitful endeavor  A journey That yields Perseverance  And a strength To do  Your will Speak to me Listen Do not respond With your desires For that  Is when I miss  The message from R's rue https://ift.tt/3ofJIFW

The Walking Dead Episode 6

  I’ve been loyal to The Walking Dead for over ten years now, and today , I must admit, I am so glad I have been .  Under various showrunners the series , has, at times, been variable to say the least , but under the assured piloting of Angela Kang , the last season has returned to its horror roots and has provided several stand alone set pieces full of suspense and nail biting moments. Episode 6 was such a set piece where the deaf character  Connie ( the deaf actress Lauren Ridloff) found herself trapped in a gothic mansion with Virgil and a group cannibalistic humans  It was a truly terrifying hour that left me somewhat exhausted by the time they were saved by an all female group from Alexandria  The series, by the look of things is going out with a bang  The power was out in the village just after 6 am so I've had to feel my way to work.... from Going Gently https://ift.tt/3CPAAfm
