1812 overtures

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

I felt to play the 1812 overture. Seeing the current situation in Ukraine where the russian invaders are unprepared and suffering frostbite and lack of food I wonder if they see the irony of that favourite piece of music at the moment.
I have a dog that likes showing off her musical prowess and she certainly gave a good rendition as she joined in.
Wonder what the 'score' would sound like it if I played it in reverse - would that help their retreat be even more unpallitable. There is always some worse off than us.

Well said, bears repeating

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

Annie Brown, I appreciated the sentiments in your latest posting to Neighbours.

To quote: I do think that we must look after our Planet as best as we can for future generations of kids, but lets not forget to still enjoy life. Surely not everything has to be doom and gloom. We have enough of that in the world already and if someone could please assassinate Putin that would be a great start to making the world a better place. ps I haven't seen any recent postings from the ONE AND ONLY who really deserves an award, I hope all is well.
Cheers to all especially you "Yvonne McDonald", and all the others that try to help and to put a little humour into our lives, eh John and Mike - all guilty of having an overactive humerous bone.
Have I got anything wrong please let me know. Cheers all.
