Yes, thank you, it's been a good day. I was requested to neither socialise nor go hunting for birthday presents I couldn't give a rat's arse about, so naturally it was bound to be good. Add to that warm but not hot weather, and for once dry and sunny and not humid, and the fact I found alfalfa sprouts, what more can I ask. Well, lots, but I'm content. :-)
And we're having fun tonight. Dorkboy insisted he'd provide the nightly music. I suspect he was getting thoroughly fed up with my list of opera pieces, Grieg, Beethoven, Rosenberg Trio et all. So, knowing I would have heavily objected to his usualquestionable Pak. choice (guys, I'm tolerant where music is concerned. But not that tolerant.), he decided to go the iTunes route and download stuff he knew we would both agree on. Boy, it has seriously re-opened my horizons. Can you believe it, I have not listened to any Tracy Chapman in years, I'm ashamed to say. But rest assured, I'll make up for it now. We're also agreeing on some Il Divo, which I'm sure, ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
charmed310 and hogwartshoney highly approve of *smirk*. And then there is a whole lot of Pavarotti and Friends. I stopped liking Pavarotti when I spent an evening listening to Jose Carreras in an Open Air concert in Tel Aviv in 1986. That man is incredible. He appeared on stage, and I forgot everything around me. Beside the better voice, he's also much better looking than Parvarotti. But yeah, Pavarotti has his uses. Like mingling with rock stars. I've been thoroughly enjoying Dorkboy's dj'ing.
