A Certain Saint

I hardly need remind you that today is the feast of St Joseph of Arimathea - also known as Joseph of Glastonbury, the first ever saint of Britain. So, don't forget to wear those giant inflatable thorns and speak like a pirate - after all, everyone's from Somerset on St Joe's Day! Have a good time - but do go easy on the cider.

I think I knew and have since forgotten this. Wasn't it a particular Hollywood actor who founded the whole pirate=worzel idea? It may come to me - or to someone else.

You sound wonderfully decadent, in a hard-working way - composing in bed like Rossini (if we substitute The Barber of Seville for The Dream of Gerontius - but what's the diff?)
