He likes the sound track though (he is deaf too). He is only sorry that it isn’t an edible picture. <BR/>I am pleased, for other readers, that he does not appear in ‘smellyvision’. RG has always being an odour aficionado but I think Ralph has given him pause for thought. <BR/><BR/>I too find John Hegley amusing; he reminds me (in appearance rather than performance, although there are echoes) of the Swan half of Flanders & Swan. <BR/><BR/>I am not convinced by ‘etherealness’; a bit clunky perhaps?. I think I favour ‘ethereality’ (ether-reality). I may look in the dictionary tomorrow. A nice picture anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-49593874455685656802007-09-07T23:47:00.000+01:002007-09-07T23:47:00.000+01:00I'll give Ralph a home any time - I really do miss...I'll give Ralph a home any time - I really do miss having a dog (first time in 32 years....).<BR/><BR/>If etherealness isn't a word it should be. Loved the photo.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't do the crossword either, did about half (on my own). Clues seemed terribly wordy, and I couldn't work out which word the answer was connected to.<BR/><BR/>Oldest daughter and I spent the day going round places looking for a venue for Golden Wedding do next Spring. Surprising how difficult it is to find somewhere that meets our criteria! - two we went to would not take children under twelve, one wanted to charge £300 to use the car park. No, I don't think so. We went out to lunch, a different Cafe Rouge, this time we had the Menu Prix Fixe, £7.95 for two courses, £9.95 for three. Limited choice, but luckily things we both liked, Fi had roasted veg. and sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream,(no, not on the same plate...) I had a melon/ham starter and penne with a very tasty cheese/bacon/creamy sauce, not quite a carbonara.<BR/><BR/>Off tomorrow with friends to a yarn shop in CVaterham, Surrey run by a friend, celebrating its 4th birthday, cakes and champagne are promised. And it is just within the M25, so my free travel pass covers me.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
