I once started watching the film version of Fiddler on the Roof but gave up after a time. It's just over 3 hours long which was offputting. (West Side Story is 2 hours 33 minutes and The Sound of Music 2 hours 52 minutes so it's longer than either - I've seen thise throughout). Camelot was another very long musical which I have up on (that's a couple of minutes shorter than Fiddler.
Evening all 
Heavy rain all day.
Had a lovely time with the tiddlers. We were so glad to see them and they were very happy to be back. 
I hope you’ve all had a good day 
I’m heading for a long soak in the bath, then an early night.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

@El Loro posted:May be of interest to Ros. "Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville" (1881) was a collaboration between Gabriel Fauré and his former pupil André Messager. Composed before the Requiem and a lesser work. The mass is in 5 sections:
- Kyrie (Messager)
- Gloria (Fauré)
- Sanctus (Fauré)
- O Salutaris (Messager)
- Agnus Dei (Fauré)
The Agnus Dei (14.45) is possibly the most interesting as having touches of the Requiem.
absolutely loved this ELhave performed Faure's Requiem a few times -love it-absolutely brilliant
night yogi so pleased you have seen the tiddlers today -lovely moonsie velvet summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone it's a bright morning with a dry day forecast.
I'm sure there was plenty of sunshine in your hearts if not the skies Yogi, I hope you slept well after such a happy day.
Enjoy your day everyone

It was cloudy in the morning then rained from noon. We aren’t due to get above 20-21 degrees at the weekend and tbh, that will be hot enough for me.
You are so right Squiggle, the tiddlers bring their own sunshine
Hope you’ve all had a good day and stayed safe
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Good morning everyone it's supposed to be a cloudy day today before we start to get the higher temperatures over the weekend. I don't mind it too much in the daytime but I prefer it to cool off at night.
Enjoy your day everyone
New Guinea has the highest plant diversity of any island in the world, botanists have discovered.
13,634 species of plants have been identified. Of those 68% are found only there.

It was a better day, weather wise. We had some sun in the afternoon.
Squiggle, I hate when it’s really warm at night and I can’t sleep.
El, New Guinea must be a very interesting place, with such diversity of plants.
Moonie, I hope the engineer finally turned up
I hope you’ve all had a good day

Hi Yogi
Yeeeey for your sunshine
The engineer did finally turn up at 4-10. The first question he asked, from a distance was, should I wear a mask? 
😡
I said, yes you should. I had mine on
Where has this man been living for the last 6 months, cloud cuckoo land? 😡
Anyway we had a clean bill of health, gas appliances wise

Hi Moonie
I’m glad he turned up but what a numpty - of course he should wear a mask! 
I had two of my middle son’s engineers in my house today, they were replacing the bathroom radiator for us. They wore their masks, had gloves and sanitising gel, stayed right away from us and even ate the rolls I made them upstairs so we had absolutely no contact with them - son has them well trained and they are lovely lads into the bargain.

Me too and I could think of another word to describe him but not in front of a lady 😉
Oh, well done to engineers and for your middle son for his training
They sound like nice considerate lads too

Good morning everyone it's a pleasant morning which is a relief as it was beginning to get very humid last night 97 percent. I hope it's sunny for everyone today but doesn't get uncomfortably hot.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Sunny and hotting up here. Average highest temperature forecast for here from today to Tuesday 29°, Wednesday 27°. from Thursday 23/24° Heatwave threshold is 30° so several hot days but just under being a heatwave.
Heatwave area seems to be to the east of here.
Moonie, I'm glad your gas engineer eventually turned up and that your gas appliances passed
Yogi, I'm glad your radiator people were well trained
I hope everyone has a good day

Very hot here already. Set to reach 29° today. Our highest of the week but still some other hot ones to come
El, thanks re the gas engineer
Washing on the line, shopping and meds fetched before it got to hot. Sensible me for a change
So just trying to stay as cool as possible for the rest of the day
Have a great day everyone but try to stay cool

It's dated and there's some racial stereotyping. There is one line which isn't acceptable now but there's no racial swearwords.
Hollywood really likes making sequels
