Well, after the big drama when DH left his handbag in a trolley at the shopping
centre during the week, today we've had the massive "lost hearing aid" search.

I'm one of those people who love Gregorian Chants. I first
heard them in college, and found them fascinating. I

Dear Rose,
btw - is it PC to refer to people from Australia as "Aussies", or is that
a term they are allowed to use of themselves, but not others? In
sociology, "ingroup/outgroup". Just wondering.
It's fine by me - as long as you pronounce the "ss" as a "z" so it comes
out "Ozzies" and not "Ossi
I also like them, but prefer them in context rather than in the
background (I don't do well with background music in general),
especially if I'm singing them. Until you know a particular one,
though, reading the old notation is NOT particularly relaxing!

Dear Secret Pal in America,
Thank you so much for my parcel of goodies that arrived this morning.
I love the buttons and have been trying to decide what I can put them on to
show them off !!
I have a few bobbins that need spangling so the lovely beads will certainly
come in handy. I am going to
A completely different subject:
Can any of you give suggestions as to the care of
lambskin items? My SIL just sent me a beautiful
lambskin, with fleece on the backside, vest and a hat
that she purchased in New Zealand. I am concerned
about the hat getting wet outside and keeping them
both clean.
There *may* be a few new ones in here... I still grinned
again at the old ones...

Hi to you All,
Well - I have to come right out and say that I really do love Gregorian
chant! I think Pope Gregory was wonderful to have the idea of putting the
Mass to music, getting it done by various and sundry composers, and I have
as many versions as possible - every time I see one, I am th
Now Jenny mentioned trams! That brings back a few memories! My mother
had relatives in Sheffield, and we as children used to love travelling on
the trams, but we also used to love watching the cars and bikes getting
their wheels stuck in the tramlines, and wondering if they'd be able to
avoid t
Carol, I agree, but a minor point: Pope Gregory didn't have the idea
of putting the Mass to music. Chant was part of the liturgy among the
Jews, and some of the psalm tones in the Gregorian psalms are
identical to the Jewish ones. What Pope Gregory did was try to get it
written down and codifie

Me, too! I learned to sing it at my convent school, and became completely enamoured
of it.

Hi everyone
oh my, my weight-lifting teddy bear hulk of a DS listens to Gregorian
chants during his workouts - he calls it Monk Music.
Just as colour perception can be subjective, people hear sounds/music
differently. I'm sure some men dislike Gregorian chants as much as some
women, but I like it
