Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Sorry, we've got the sun up here.

It was raining this morning but it's perked up nicely now, hardly any clouds and a pleasant breeze.

It's been raining on/off for most of today here.

I've not actually left Inner Herts at all, except for a 5 minute detour to change a lightbulb about 2 miles from the Outer Herts border

POSH ALERT

If you were being taken to the opera for the first time in your life, what would you want the experience to be like? Is there anything you'd like to have happen or not happen?

I'm thinking of taking Mrs Generali to see Carmen for her birthday.

What a lovely thing to do.
The libretto beforehand, to understand the plot and characters.
Possibly surtitles, (again to help understanding)
A conventional production rather than one in a contemporary/innovative setting
An opera with at least one well known aria. Recognising some of the music helps make it feel like you belong there.
Not too long/too dark/German
An iconic destination -SOH?
bubbles to drink- prosecco if italian opera
supper at venue or simple picnic if possible before or in interval- prosciutto olives artichokes salami cheese bread

If you need anyone to carry the bags I will make myself available

Today the weather here has been ok so far, mix of clouds and sun, quite warm but looking like rain soon.

Wellington (puppy) has excelled himself today, all wees and poos done outside:T Yesterday he went out but obviously could not relieve himself in the rain so would rush back indoors to spend his pennies.

the breed rehoming charity has been in touch with us. On Saturday we have a 3 year old dog coming to visit. If all goes well Wellington will be getting a big brother.

If I say too much, I'll be accused to being very not nice, but people annoy me sometimes :mad:

OH is quite confused too.

She gets the difference between not lying, and being completely truthful though (and knows I view them as the same thing). Person I'm annoyed with doesn't.

That's lovely news, spirit!

Electric trains don't go 'choo choo' any more. Now they go 'masticate masticate' as they rattle along.



Okay, it's not very funny, but it's a joke shaped object, and it's not overly long. And it's clean.
