Dingo goes visiting
Yesterday, Dingo got the hell-in it with Ebenezer and co. and decided to go and visit an old friend of his who lives down the road (believe it or not he actually has some friends!) He reckons he has been working too hard and he needs a holiday (or so he says - added to which his Great Symphony is not going very well at the moment!). Anyway, off he went for a short break, but things weren't much better at his friend's house - in fact, he was quite glad in the end to get back home ... Comments 2

A modern "Flying Dutchman"
The most inspiring performance of a Beethoven symphony that I have ever heard was when I was travelling aboard an old Second World War cargo boat hundreds of miles from land. I was sitting outside the wireless room one evening in the tropics, lazily gazing up into a deep velvet sky studded, as far as the eye could see, with streams of brilliant, glittering stars. Suddenly the heavy silence of the night was shattered by the startling sound of the two imperious introductory chords of the ...

Dingo and the Great (US) Debate
I want to become a famous king, And go anywhere and do anything: To climb my tower and ring the bell, And tell all my subjects to go to hell! After Dingo originally posted this bit of doggeral of his, he didin't know how to put a picture with it. Now he has discovered how to and, boy, is he chuffed with himself! He's finally getting into the 21st century! "But you can't put the same piece in twice", Ebenezer objected. "Why can't I? It's my Blog. I'll put it in as many times as I ...

Dingo goes Public - by mistake!
Poor Dingo is having a searing time on his computer. He pretends to know all about it, but the truth is he hasn't much of a clue really. Neither, for that matter, have Ebenezer, Mousie or Sonnet, although they are never short of "helpful" advice like: "Click on that little red thing there and see what happens!" or "Try writing a comment in that funny box at the top there and click "send" - you never know - it might work!". Of course the invariable result of all these instructions is that Dingo ...

Ebenezer and Sonnet "stir the pot"
Ever since Dingo saw that "one giant step for man" he has been in a most peculiar mood. Ebenezer and Sonnet have been trying to cheer him up, but judging from the snippet below they're not succeeding! And they'd better watch what they're saying (even though it's in private) otherwise who knows what will happen all of a sudden!

Dingo and Mousie go to Mars!
Astronomy and space travel have always fascinated Dingo (that's why he calls himself the Dog Star). Now he has had his chance. Ebenezer is keeping fingers crossed that he'll be away for a very long, long time Comments 1

Dingo prepares for the great day
Dingo - who always likes to be well prepared in advance of things - has already got several designs out for his next year's Valentine's Day cards! The other day I took a quick peek at some of them when he was out. There's no denying hes got a quirky sense of humour as the following example shows, but I don't think that his lady-loves will appreciate some of his "romantic" asides somehow!
