His songs are all fun to listen to.<br /><br />I'm afraid I just don't do naps. Never have been able to and even with advancing age still can't, though I envy those who can. This is why disturbed sleep at night makes me so tired.

Funny thing, this morning as I was coming down the stairs Tom Lehrer's 'Vatican Rag' danced through my head and I wondered if I dared find it on You Tube and post it!!<br /><br />Hope you get rid of that nagging cough sooner!

As you say, it's so cleverly done and reminded me just how good Richard Stilgoe and Peter Skellern were as a musical partnership.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-30277585560107089412011-12-18T17:18:05.946+00:002011-12-18T17:18:05.946+00:00Hello Perpetua:

I'm not sure I'm blocked in terms of not having ideas - just too tired to put them down coherently. Still, Mrs Beamish fills the gap very nicely. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-13003557306136689872011-12-18T12:02:48.377+00:002011-12-18T12:02:48.377+00:00Hope you are feeling better!

Why do we always catch these things at the most inconvenient times?<br /><br />Glad the Richard Stilgoe song was worth a coughing fit. The mere idea of a combination of him and Victoria Wood has me giggling out loud.
