Live from Gloucester Cathedral, about to experience the majesty of Thomas Tallis' Spem in alium. So excited to hear this masterpiece in person with my husband Tim Mountain. Thomas uses groundbreaking experimentation that challenged the norms. This piece uses 8 choirs and 40 different lines of music. Unusual as he wrote music for Catholic and Protestant churches. #music #Gloucester #ThomasTallis #SpemInAlium #GloucesterCathedral #ChoralMusic #ClassicalMusic #MusicExperience #LoveMusic #gig

"Crommett's gently emotive vocals eager to join the simple but deadly guitar refrain and its subtle meandering that provides the song's smouldering coals. "

A Tale of Two Flowers
May 1, 2025
It is May Day, and the daffodils are having their day in the sun as well they should on this festival of spring. Over the years, I have accumulated many different varieties, and I’ve learned to plant both early and late bulbs so that the bloom time is extended. The planting usually happens on a late fall day when I realize that I need to get them into the ground before it freezes solid. So, I scatter bulbs here or there and then promptly forget where I did plant them until they pop up in the spring. I know I could use markers, but they are some of the first green shoots to lift out of the ground. Anyways, it is always exciting to have an unexpected discovery. One needs this in late February and early March when spring is still just a dream.
This year’s new blooms are a late variety with creamy white ruffled petals and a lovely scent thanks to a special order from Johnny’s Selected Seed in Maine. I used to think all daffodils are basically the same until I did a little research and found that there are over 26,000 cultivated varieties. They are all in the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae) which also includes alliums like onions and garlic. I guess there is zero chance of collecting them all.
Daffodils are poisonous to deer, and that is why they avoid them. I’ve read that if you plant daffodils around a deer delectable plant, they will keep away from it. It is important to note that they are also poisonous to humans. The leaves, bulb and stem contain the highly toxic chemical lycorine. I have never heard of a daffodil poisoning because who would think about eating one? We have this wise sense about us. It may be part of the sixth sense which tells us: Yes, it is lovely to look at and the smell is divine… but don’t even think of eating it. Ironically, this plant also contains an ingredient which is used in treating Alzheimer’s. Nature seems to have this thing with medicine disguised as a poisonous plant.
The term daffodil is interchangeable with the name Narcissus which brings me to the second part of my tale. Long ago back in grade school, we learned about the Greek god Narcissus. Well, at least some of us did. That was something we skipped right over at St. George School; and yet, somehow, we learned about it anyways. According to Kew Gardens, “The scientific name of the daffodil genus, Narcissus, is believed to come from the Greek myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water. The nodding head of the daffodil is said to symbolize Narcissus gazing at his reflection.”
That’s just weird right. No one in real life would do something like that. But the myth is meant as a cautionary tale that warns us of the danger of thinking too much of oneself. I am realizing lately that there are a few too many narcissists hanging around in high places. I would recommend that they study the ending of Narcissus’ tale where he eventually dies from a heavy dose of self-infatuation. If one doesn’t want to look to the Greek gods for advice then perhaps one of the many thousands of daffodil types can help. There’s the Rip Van Winkle from the Victorian Era or the Original Poet’s variety. There is even a Trumpet daffodil if anyone is interested. There’s just one thing to remember… they are poisonous!

Hesarin etusivu 19.9.2023. Tämä on taistelukutsu. JHL lataa kovaa ja on valmis taistelemaan kaikin keinoin hallituksen leikkauksia vastaan. Jos #ammattiyhdistysliike ei nyt nouse vastarintaan, niin kohta sitä ei ole enää olemassa. #ayliike #JHL #leikkaukset #hallitus #hallitusalas #MeEmmeVaikene #SinimustaHallitus #näpitirti #ammattiyhdistysliike

That, Senators, is what a favour from gangsters amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone; then they boast that they have spared him!

I've chosen tonight's anti-insomnia reading. It's the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, in an edition compiled from six of the original manuscripts intermingled to preserve some element of chronology. It is fascinating, but there is a fair bit of repetition and if I'm tired enough it can be hallucinatory. Imagine the rolling undercurrents of 'Spem in alium' in the form of historical manuscripts compiled by generations of monks.

Marinin hallituksen väliaikainen pakkotyölaki kantaa nyt hedelmää: #sinimustahallitus ja #Elinkeinoelämä keskusliitto haluavat siitä pysyvän lain.
Työnantajapuoli haluaa lähes yksipuolisesti päättää mikä on suojelutyötä ja mikä ei, joka antaisi mahtiaseen tärkeiden alojen lakkoja vastaan.
