Go, Elaine!!! I'm totally impressed with her playing. Concerning the weather, we have a station in Austin with a tag line for ALL the weather "First Warning Weather". Fear-mongering at its best. Your autumn leaves photo looks like sumac - so beautiful! We have the same in full plumage these days. Your cats are the best - I update my daughter on your life with cats as she relates 100% with every comment about them. 😺
She definitely sounds like a true cat! We have three cats: one from a rescue centre, which is what we’ve always done, and one from the vet because someone left them in a box outside the vet’s practice, and the vet knew that we are mugs.
Me to vet, after bumping into hiim in the street: Those kittens you made us take. They eat so much we’re going bankrupt.
One of those odd coincidences...we went to see Tosca live last night at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. A xmas treat, we seem to have been saving up to go most of my life! Its my favourite opera, and that clip you shared is my favourite bit. Even people who don't like opera would be impressed surely. But with news coming out of Syria, it all seemed very topical and chilling. Good old Tosca
That must have been wonderful, Sarah. My favourite is the Stelle one he sings when he's about to be executed. Yes, many of these stories seem strangely timeless.
I WOULD post it, but when I do that, I inevitably do it the wrong way. Dang finicky Youtube, frassum rassum craggamugging... Dang kids ! I'm 66, I need to become fluent in " Geezer ", LOL.
"Me: I imagine it involves someone who finds out they are about to die, so decides to start singing about it." Nailed it!
Lady Elaine did an excellent job, I really enjoyed it.
"Nailed it": 😂
Elaine's playing: Thanks, Jim, Elaine much appreciates it. :-)
Oh, such wonderful musical treats - thank you so much Terry AND Elaine! Awesome playing!
I'm in absolutely FITS of laughter from that amazing compilation of weather forecasts! 🤣
You've given me so much to respond to in my reply on Wednesday - I'm going to have a busy time writing.
Thank you, Elaine much appreciates your, Jim's and Mary's kind comments. It's the main reason I keep her on, in fact. Great compilation, innit?!
Glad to have given you something to get your teeth into! Chortle.

"All the weather": we ought to have that in OUR stations!
I don't think it is sumac.
Our cats give us endless pleasure! Glad your daughter can relate 😁 Does she have cats too?
My daughter has a rescue cat, Ivy, who is funny and can glare like no other cat I've met. She's affectionate and aloof, a true cat. 😂

Vet: (While walking away) Not my problem.

Fats Waller. Now THAT is vintage ! LOVE IT. I'll raise you a Dizzy Gillespie. I love his " Swing Low, Sweet Cadilac ".
I shall look it up, thanks! I wish I had a name to be reckoned with, like Dizzy or Toots.
