Well, you've read the notes, you now know that the summer knows, and now it is time for you to post until the knowing cows come home.

A Very Happy Birthday to DR Matthew!!

Well, today I'm going to my sister's to swap out the other two light fixtures that I didn't swap out earlier this past week because I need to be able to see when I do them, so I'll go over early this afternoon. It's fairly simple to do. Then, I'll come back home and do some work for work since I didn't do any yesterday. Then tomorrow, I'll need to do the reports so that the Finance Office can pay the bills, so the invoicing must be done!

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Stella was a bad girl last night. Once she began pestering me around 4:15, my sleep went all to hell.

I'm undecided about today. After I've printed my chart of expenses and income for my accountant, I may do some housework, or I may just lounge around with the cats. Decisions, decisions . . .

DR singdaw, you're about a week behind me! I posted that Hansel and Gretel link on Feb. 15 with this comment:
BK, this Hansel and Gretel from Scottish Opera is so misguided you will bne apoplectic. The Witch thinks she's Carmen Miranda!

It really is a disgusting production. Several weeks ago I posted this link to a 1981 German broadcast of the opera from Leipzig. I'd like it better if a woman played the witch instead of a tenor but there are nice things about the production:

And here's a 1970 German film with an actual boy and girl playing Hansel and Gretel, but they are dubbed by an actual soprano and mezzo. I'm wondering if all of this is dubbed.

Reading DR George and DR TCB's posts, I feel like HHW has its own nightly Statler & Waldorf!

Love you guys!

I do remember your posting that! Just didn't remember it was the same ratty production, as I never clicked on it, given the pan.

We enjoyed a good Mexican feast for Nathan's birthday last night. I had the sopa de albondigas and a very fine, wonderful, HUGE picadillo (shredded beef) burrito. Much merriment ensued.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2021, 07:24:05 AM »

Good news DR DRUXY!

My rescheduled dental appointment is tomorrow. Snow and ice is predicted for tonight and in the morning. HOWEVER since my appointment is at 3:20 p.m. and temps are predicted to be in the high 30's - I should be all right.

The summer knows. And, as P.D.Q. Bach said, only he who is running knows.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** February 21, 2021, 07:29:38 AM »

I watched a few segments of that Scottish ~~play~~ Hansel and Gretel when DR Elmore posted it last week. It was a complete mystery as to what kind of production it was supposed to be, and I'm afraid I couldn't listen to the preamble beforehand, as it didn't seem to be shedding any light on anything. What a weird thing.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 21, 2021, 07:35:12 AM »

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Felicitations to our DR Matthew !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went onto YouTube and fell down the rabbit hole. I found complete recordings of several operas with Roberta Peters amd started downloading.
