Just getting ready for tomorrow (Good Friday)
Side note:
Around 2016 I was feeling a bit down, but perked up after watching this clip (for the ump-teenth time). I decided to 'tweet' Eric Idle just to thank him for the performance and cheering me up.
SURPRISE: he actually tweeted back, and very nicely thanked me for the comment!!!

Monty Python's Eric Idle - London 2012 Performance | Music Monday
Side side note:
That was the second member of Monty Python I'd interacted with.
The first was John Cleese, who was on the "Jim Bohannon" talk radio program - which took calls / questions from listeners - one night (1988/9).
My question for Mr. Cleese:

His reply was curt and to the point:
"Nothing really."
And ... of course there was this moment from the London Olympics (2012) - which completely shocked my friends here in the U.S. due to
#nbc's idiotic 5-hour tape-delay - but I'd been following the BBC Olympic blog, and already knew about it:

James Bond and The Queen London 2012 Performance
