Bloopers - 2
(Hope I'm doing this right.)
I was trying to read:
"The Duke of Saint-Simon relates a still more extraordinary robbery
that took place at Versailles. In one night all the gold ornaments-and-
fringes were stolen from the state apartment",
https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/Fridge_blooper.mp3
It kept coming out as if the thieves got away with Louis XIV's beer fridge, magnets and all.

You were laughing, but my reaction to my frequent mess ups are a string of swearwords. I must try and laugh my way through them ...barbara2 wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2021, 2:27 am (Hope I'm doing this right.)

So, not a blooper, but if anyone wants to record during the daylight hours in my neck of the woods, and some other parts of the US, this is what you are competing with right now:

17 year cicadas.
Find a tree to stand under that is full of them and they will be much louder.

Yes, I've been wondering if I would have to compete with that this year. But although some people I know here locally have them right now, they seem to have skipped over my area. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it'll stay that way, but I don't really believe it.
