Readings are normal.
Which doesn’t say much actually.
Yeah.
If you're a gerbil, and you can fit inside a rain-gutter.
Lol, the concept of going around and around that building for all eighty stories in a water shute just has an appeal all of its own.
A zipwire between the twin towers would have been cool.
There was a wire strung between them, but you had to walk across it.
Ewe bee kowreckt.
We'll get it worked out, wouldn't be the first time that I have found that guitar players speak another language.. ;-)
That's the difference in playing from a chord chart which is just the lyrics with chord notations above the words (and not always above the correct syllable of the word), and a lead sheet which is the melody line on a music staff complete with key signature, time signature, repeat notation, you know, all that stuff to give you direction... ;-)
Absent that, guitar players tend to invent their own ever changing versions of the song. Which keyboard players can work with if the secrets are shared as in "When you say 'let's do this' as you are pointing to the sheet in front of you which is not the same as the sheet in front of me, just exactly what is this 'this'?"
This time we have a week to work it out. Last time we had less than an hour... ;-)
Things are in safe hands ,then.
No need to call the cavalry.
No, no need. Especially since I have received a reply email informing that she is playing the 'typed' chord instead of the 'written in blue pen' chord. And exactly where she is putting her transpose key, er, I mean capo...
Things make much more sense now. ;-)
Also on Big Ben: I saw it on "Phineas and Ferb."
It's always good to have an unimpeachable source.
Probably more accurate than the Daily Mail.
or the Daily Kos... ;-)
That’s one I’ve never read. But I do visit the Daily Mail about once a week to read the celebrity gossip.
Information feed for the Men In Black.
“Probably more accurate than the Daily Mail.”
A good place to start, then try other souces.
The Big Ben water slide....straight down in to the Thames, very popular in summer.
That town is hard work to get around.
The towers of Parliament
http://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/building/palace/architecture/
Apart from the Victoria Tower, the Palace contains two other striking towers. Over the middle of the Palace, immediately above the Central Lobby, stands the octagonal Central Tower (91.4m, 300ft). Unlike the other towers, the Central Tower has a spire, and contains the largest known octagonal Gothic vault without a central pillar.
The tower was originally designed to serve as a ventilating chimney for stale air and smoke from fireplaces. Due to its position in the centre of the building, the tower was the first to be completed, and its construction required considerable engineering skill.
At the north-eastern end of the Palace is the most famous of its towers, the Clock Tower (96.3m, 316ft), commonly known as Big Ben after its main bell. The tower also houses a large, four-faced clock designed by Augustus Pugin. Pugin’s drawings for the tower were in fact the last work he did for the Palace’s architect Charles Barry, and it is known that Barry had great difficulty in working out how to make the clock sufficiently prominent.
Very interesting. Maybe I’ll take a tour of Parliament if I ever go to London again.
I just made flight reservations for Busdaddy so he can go to the funeral. Flights were almost scarce as frog hair, so close to New Year’s. He commented that he guessed “there WAS no ‘good time’ to die.”
So I will be house-sitting and getting caught up with the laundry while he is gone, but will have to make sure I have enough gas in the truck to come home every day to kitty-sit for a while. I will fill the truck tomorrow.
Sparkle is making pretty good progress, now. She is more vocal and friendly, and I occasionally see her paw snaking out from under the bedroom door! She is a southpaw....
*snort*
Maybe it would be a good time to let her out of the bedroom, while you’re gone. As long as she could retreat to the closet, she might appreciate some time explore with nothing to disturb her.
Unless I can get this Christmas debris packed away, there is no way I would let her out unsupervised. There is just too much that is loose and unstable, and I won’t even harbor the thought of her being hurt while I’m not here. To paraphrase my mother, “I’m not raising cats for Flannigan’s hogs to eat!”
I still haven’t been able to get the big bookcase stabilized against the wall (lack of volunteers to find a stud in the wall for an anchor) and if she got on it, it would take out the TV and block the door so I couldn’t get in, not to mention hurting her. Not worth the risk.
That makes sense.
