Morning Izzie, glad you made it back to shore, water frolics makes you tired, so you should sleep well tonight. Did you read the last paragraph in the blue boy's post?
Going to have a quiet weekend as next week will be a busy one, engaged every day between 9 and 5, almost feels like working again.
Grand kids on the way home, Christmas we'll meet up again on their home ground. Fun whilst they were here.
Hello Dutchy! Enjoy your weekend. It will be a busy one for me. I have to get the boys packed up to go stay with their grandparents. I am going to miss them so much. But it will give the grandparents here a break. They have been so good to help out with the fellers while I have been working.
I see Tryagain is up to his usual dirty old man habits.
Love the pictures Izzie - looks like so much fun! You are so beautiful! ((Izzie))
Hope everyone is well...I am about to call it a night.
Still waiting for POMcT's pics - looking forward to seeing his bumpy bruised and ciffed Bass. x
And you will, my dear, you will, insh'allah.
The bass is still in the repair shop, of course. The man said, "When do you want it back?" and I said it's been hanging in my brother's shed for about two decades, and kicking about his various flats for even longer, so a week here or there will make little difference now. And that will give him time to lavish max TLC and top repairman skills to best effect.
But quite soon I hope.
And a new album of selected pieces for double bass (with optional comb and paper accompaniment) has been ordered, wasn't here in time for my birthday, but will also be here soon. Maybe contemporaneously, with serendipitivity.

@mismi,
Hi mismi, how busy you must be, hope all works out well for you. Do you remember the Sammich game thread you started in 2008? http://able2know.org/topic/116864-1
Does anyone here agree that the Focus Stress Rule, which is also proposed to apply in a phase-based manner, ensures that a focussed constituent receives the highest clausal prominence in languages which mark focus prosodically?
I only ask because it is shown that sentential stress is determined in an interplay between the default Sentential Stress Rule and the Focus Stress Rule. It is argued that the relationship between syntax and phonology is unidirectional, always from syntax to phonology, thereby arguing against syntactic phenomena being triggered by phonological or prosodic motivations (contra Zubizarreta 1998).
Could it also be shown that, from a conceptual and empirical perspective, the proposed account of the interaction between focus and sentential stress is preferable to the theories based on the focus projection algorithm alone?
Any input from a peripheral perspective would be most welcome.
Sounds more like he has been on a mushroom trip to me.

@ehBeth,
Good concert, ehBeth, shame you couldn't make it. And an enthusiastic audience. Not all young, by no means, probably people who don't care too much for standing in the mud or the blazing sun to enjoy their music.
People who can get into the Audi and drive home for some Horlicks.
And us, of course.

Ah, POMcT - so glad you had a good time and enjoyed the birthday treat Plans for the weekend a? a? a? We've just had rain here (which is quite refreshing) and it's still very warm, whilst London sizzles in at 31 degrees today (oh my, no thankee very much)! Hope it's a good weekend for you xx

Hey (((Letty))) - who moi, miserable... well, I was listening to this yesterday which made me smile a while! Love to you dear LettyBettyLetty. x
The world is big but lil' people turn it around...lalalala be careful as you go, cos little people grow, and little people know
when little people fight,
we may look easy pickings
but we got some bite!
so never kick a dog
because it's just a pup
you'd better run for cover when the pup grows up
and we'll fight like twenty armies
and we won't give up
love it when my little fella sings this...
((((Blue))))
