OH has had us on Sky for some time. I have never been keen on paying for it, which will, I am sure, surprise you! Have always thought there was not much new on it.

Recently he persuaded me that we need some sort of new package that would meet every need we would ever have for less money, yeh right.

Anyway, to my delight, this package has access to You Tube so we are rarely off that.

OH has had much more access to classical music than have I so we have been watching a lot of that and last night we thought we would try a bit of opera which is new to each of us.

I dutifully put on some Rossini which I thought was the 'Marriage of Figaro', identified the character I assumed was Figaro although I really don't know what it is about and tiddled about on the computer.

All the way through, I waited for the wedding and the song I knew came from 'Figaro' and was most disappointed not to have seen or heard either.

Well, I wouldn't would I? We had just watched 'The Barber of Seville'!

Could have been worse I suppose...now you have an excuse to listen to another one maybe the right one this time.

You Tube is Free. We either watch it on our computers or on our TV.

You have class, just maybe not the one some others think they're in :-D
