I cry. If there is a candy left I would not eat it, it could stay there forever. If it were a chocolate cake then I'd grab it though:) You know, I don't like cuccia either, but in my town in Sicily we were forced to eat it because the legend went that if you didn't eat it, you'd go blind. Santa Lucia is the patron of sight for us Italians. So unwillingly we would it the cuccia for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You don't seem like such a bad chap after all! Quite nice in fact but please don't get too excited about "Weekend et coup de brosse" as I had exactly the same comment the other day. I think she must be cunningly attempting to bolster her popularity. By the way, my wife and I visited Napier briefly last year as we drove on to Lake Taupo from Gisborne.

I once listened to almost the entire Bach recordings over a year or so and, very unusually for me, I parted with the boxed set of his works and gave it to CJ who loves Bach. I still have some of his works on separate CDs though. I shall listen to the St Matthew Passion this morning.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-62162148623737824742013-12-13T07:43:21.033+13:002013-12-13T07:43:21.033+13:00I'm sure most of us don't remember that Mo...I'm sure most of us don't remember that Monica which is why most of the answers are in a similar vein to mine.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-43393793468364575272013-12-13T07:42:13.024+13:002013-12-13T07:42:13.024+13:00Yes Carol and as a friendly place for meeting peop...Yes Carol and as a friendly place for meeting people.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-89930689036714309312013-12-13T07:41:20.117+13:002013-12-13T07:41:20.117+13:00After Jenny's post, I was already thinking abo...After Jenny's post, I was already thinking about turning her questions (and my answers, obviously) into a post of my own, and your post has just confirmed my decision to do that.

I wish that before I was eighteen I'd known and understood what it's like to be old, not least because then I would have understood old relatives so much better. At the end of my life, I'd like to remember family, my two husbands and giving birth to my children. As for what moves me, it has to be Bach. Probably the St.Matthew Passion.
