Mav, I miss you so much I can't put it into words (believe it or not!  ). So I'll address your post: how exciting to hear David Crystal live and in person. But do tell, what does "under canvas" mean? Is it anything like Under Milkwood? Or was it merely raining? Someday I will visit Hay. PS loved your Simon & Garfunkel reference.

David Crystal live and in person
Thang you kindly, mam! Yes, Crystal is indeed a multi-faceted and brilliant live showman. If you follow the link from the first one offered above, to go to the Hay festival site, you can actually play his talk (and quite a few of the others too) tho' it lacks the sparkling and comic presentation of his full schtick. And yes, tho' Hay in many years might well be like a cross between Milkwood and Underwater, this year it was glorious sunshine - ask Jackie how much rain she's seen on her travels :)
Which reminds me J, what (apart from no mushrooms!) do you want for breakfast? hehhehheh
My maximal apologies are extended to those I was forced to rapidly curtail communications with around a year ago - fwiw it has cost me more than you can know, but had to be done at the time. Please forgive my rudeness.

Lovely Mav, you can cook mushrooms for me any time! I don't mind what I have for breakfast, as long as I get to enjoy the view!  Come to think of it, though, reckon I'd better have something stimulating...

> David Crystal live and in person
Thnaks Mav, I very much enjoyed the talk. It's probably one of the things that I most like about the internet now, re-playing all the radio programmes that I have missed. It's good to add literary festivals onto the list.

You're welcome ~ yes, it's a truly great resource of our age. btw, did you download it or play it from the site? (I ended up doing the latter, having not frigerr'dŽ out the former as I wanted to!)
frigerr: v.t., to mess around in a solitary and unsatisfying manner under the erroneous assumption that you can succeed in a given task without reading the manual :)

Well, well! I am just on the recovery list from WaP II, so decided to drop in briefly on AWAD - and what do I find? A prodigal son, no less! This has cheered me up no end, mav me ole ovinophile. Complete recovery is on the way!! Your departure was a cause of great regret, although I understood that it was for good reason. Please don't go away again. Welcome back, a thousand times - how do you like your fatted calf cooked?
