Nessun Dorma - L. P.

 Being something of a NEWS hog, especially Channel 4, it is felt giving up drinking Wine would be preferable to swiching off the Idiot's Lantern. Not quiet sure what the context was, as was drinking wine at the time, there was an item refering to the concert of the 30th of July 1991 known as

 PAVAROTTI in the PARK

which neatly fell on the day before, along with a crew mate from Derby, we were to return to our duties aboard the Semi-submesible Drilling Rig Stena Hunter in the North sea.

A 'million' memories across a day when the rain never stopped and thousands of like minded adoring fans sharing our picnics during a 4 hours wait for the gig to begin. With just one of those hours having passed it was said that Luciano looked out of his hotel window across Hyde Park to see the now slightly damp throng of fans chearing and waving and decided to perform an impromptu which lasted over an hour - FANTASTIC.
The Main Performace was perfection itself becoming one of the most memorable moments in my (our) lives! but we digress so on to the
FROZEN MOTH TRAP
which produced what will likely be one of the graetes surprises of the year a single
BUFF-TAILED BUMBLEBEE
along with what is hoped to be some sluggish footage?
Otherwise, not quite the best of days but there is aways something even if repeats! An opportunist shot of c2
high-flying
EGYPTIAN GEESE
which we hope to find landed sometime later, and apart from this
PIATUS-PC-FLIGHT-RADAR
everything else appeared to be doing balancing acts starting with a couple of
HERRING GULLs
just a single
FIELDFARE
well away from what remains of the Crabapple food source
and with 'dozens' of
ROOKs
having taken to the high-wire an estimated 60?
Unfortuneately the 700+ hits didn't last for a second day so we can only advise those who remain that this a DAILY publication and ask that all of our valued reaership compose a Facebook, or other post, to all their contacts to add to the support. Thanking you in anticipation it will only take a few seconds!

  1. Though not hitting the Soul music until the 60's..
    I grew up with opera and ballet..Mia Mama worked
    for a very rich family back then, and she used to
    give us opera/ballet tickets to B'mth Pavilion....
    So..at five years old, mia Mama would dress me
    in a two piece suit, frilly shirt, dicky~bow and
    patent shoes...l was a 'superstar' even back then!
    So..I'm a BIG fan of Pavarotti, especially with a
    plate of Pasta Forno, a bottle of Sicilia red from
    the family vineyard...Saluti...! :O).
