One of the pieces of music on University Challenge was the pizzicato piece from Léo Delibes' ballet Sylvia. You have probably heard it many times over the years even if you didn't know what it was.

Here's a clip from the ballet:

Here's a clip from one of the Marx Brothers' films - Monkey Business with Chico playing it on the piano:

Yogi, it's been dry all day here but cloudy. Forecast to turn wet by tomorrow afternoon.

It’s been a nice day here on the whole El 

I have just looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow. It’s 10% chance of rain until 2pm then that goes up to 90% 

Early shopping for me tomorrow

Crikey! I’m glad that pup was alright, that could have been so much worse. They can eat things so fast that you don’t even know they’ve done it  

 

our walk was good, and we took my friends dog. When I returned her home, Bramble decided to climb on the knee of one of their family and firmly refused to come home with me so I’ve left her there for a sleepover! Funny girl. 

I'm turning in, so very sweet and Swany dreams to you all

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here today. A low risk of a bit of rain at times.

 

A walker has captured images of a rare weather phenomenon called Brocken spectre on New Year's Day:

Good morning everyone it's going to be a very wet week so they say, so try to stay as dry as possible everyone. Oh dear Miss Bramble how rude! Still I know you will forgive her Summer. 

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning a dark, cloudy start here. I hope you’re all well and cosy this morning  

lol yes Bramble certainly has character 


I once read somewhere that people with O- blood are most likely to be abducted by aliens! Isn’t that a funny thing

Some people think that those with rhesus negative blood may be descended from aliens - it might be that you read. There's a clip on Youtube about this in an episode of Ancient Aliens but I haven't bothered to watch it as I doubt if that's really credible.

Well, I have solved the mystery as to how the swan and cygnet got to our pool, they flew there 

I was up the park earlier and saw them both fly from the bottom of the pool to the top, probably 350 to 400 yards in length, at a guess  

So obviously the cygnet can fly after all

I've been out delivering the church magazines for my round - late this month because one of the printers' machines had broken down. May be mildish but noticeably breezy. No wind warnings here for today but there's now one for Thursday.

Good morning everyone 

Very wet and windy weather.

I went to a very nice physio this morning. She says it is sciatica and the pain is quite severe/deep. My hips and lower back are also tight.
I've got to take the maximum dose of paracetamol (my digestive system can’t tolerate strong painkillers) and keep using the Ibuleve gel and hot water bottle and she has given me a series of exercises to do three times a day.
If it doesn't ease off in a couple of weeks or it gets worse, I've to go back.

Tiddlers coming after school and nursery - MrY will pick them up.

Have a good day, all

Yogi, I was thinking of you this morning with your physio appointment . I thought she would give you some regular exercises to do. It may take a few days before you notice improvement but the exercises will work in due course. That's what I found when I had a rotator cuff injury in my shoulder.

Good morning everyone  

Cold, wet and very windy here 

 

Hi squiggle 
Fankoo Sweet 

El, I haven’t enjoyed Death in Paradise since the first series with Ben Miller.

Yogi, I trust the physio will help make your sciatica much better very soon 

It will be nice for you to see the little ones 

 

Have a nice day everyone
