I have to admit I like it the chants and have several CD's. However, my favourite is the 'Canticles of Ecstasy' by Hildegarde of Bingen. This music was written by a woman and is sung by women. The notes in some are so high they seem to soar right up to the sky and I find them very uplifting and

Don't know whether anyone else has picked up on this one, but on our local evening TV news the other night there was a piece about a bloke who is making a calendar of photos of the various magic roundabouts - and has gone so far as to have T-shirts printed, too. There was also talk of a book! --

You would not want to be in our house when there is sport on TV, my mother was born in South Africa, I was born in England, my youngest daughter was born in Australia, her children have dual nationality. My DH can't stand sports at all so either he goes onto the computer or goes out in the car.

Dear Jean - I know that you're not impressed with the news that you're seeing in the papers and the things you're hearing on TV about Bush's upcoming trip. The odd thing is that here in the US, the man travels constantly, and while there are extra precautions taken wherever he goes, it is

Ah yes, but Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Man, had a nice private chat with Mr. Bush so perhaps it depended somewhat on who (or is that whom) Bush wanted present. I do remember in the early 80's when the Nato leaders came to town all the US secret service agents were lurking everwhere. I don't know
