'long time passing'...this 60s kid liked the song along with a fair shed-load of other more syncopated folky stuff. Can very recommend the Dylan flick.

SOrry to hear of the big dry your neck of the woods...certainly plays havoc with gardens when you can't fling a hose around with gay abandon. Keeping a garden alive is my main occupation right now but am in the Wigram burb so not a problem.

My 'come hither' to the sunshine is to leave the sunnies at home when venturing forth..never fails. Living on an old airfield means you can scan the skies (the subdivision is called 'Wigram Skies'), for rain & local forecasts are very reliable too.

With more Welsh programmes on the tv now I am reminded of my childish wonder at the new owners of the corner shop on Coro historically, with a Welsh lady who called people 'Bach' to my pre-teen ears, involving a back-of-the-throat sound like Dutch has. Gleaned that is was a term of endearment. Our German friends commonly scoff at things using throaty sounds.

Wish we still read about the LHC & all it's weird wonders for that was a time free of much the modern lunacy.

'the same Greek root' has to be handy...stealing it.
