Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival is back in late August. Saw Monty Alexander last year and the line up looks amazing this year. Courtney Pine and JTQ are both brilliant live. If you can support it please do. @jazzfm
Not sleeping, worried about my mum and myself. Dreams are becoming odder and odder. So thank the Lord for people like Murray Perahia who can remind us that beauty still exists.
Not going through the best period of my life and reading Wordsworth and Browning (my favourite poet but very dark) and listening to Finzi it's helping. Time for ridiculous American overly positive spy fiction.
Banned from @Etsy . No idea why as I have only bought two things through their site. Wanted to buy a couple more seriously good products but can't (will ring them direct). Same with X - banned by @TheSimonEvans but why? I did question his taste in shoes. Am I on a banning list?
A frightening mix of trail runner, Danish detective and Chap; probably only drinks premier cru Burgundy. CEO of British Gas.
Surprised that England are sponsored by @wholeearthfoods . I thought that they were a pretty niche brand. As it happens I am addicted to their Orange and Lemon cans and buy them by the crate.
One of my favourite tales: In an Italian near Regent St and I broke up with my the GF (wasn't too bad as I was her brother's best man a couple of years later). Friend thought I was an idiot so dumped my carbonara on my head. Stormed out and went to the Chequers off Jermyn St…
Not quite believing this but I have deliberately chosen to listen to an All Saints album. Now feel 20 years younger and way more positive. Thank you lasses.
One of the weirdest threads I have read. Jomini, Gat and Keegan would have some real fun with this (I am not qualified to do so).
“You literally know nothing about war,” says this guy 👇 to an actual Green Beret 😂😂
Some people just make the world a better place - Kandace Springs is one. Looking forward to seeing her at @officialronnies in November.
A bit more Finzi, some Franck and as we are going out to an Italian restaurant tonight Zipoli.
Today's playlist on returning to classical music after giving up on BBC3 - Finzi, Telemann and Copeland.
Am I allowed to admit that I have a bit of a crush at my age for Jacqui Dankworth?
An afternoon of Respighi, Ravel and Britten; all very loud as neighbours have gone away. Bliss.
Advert time (not paid for). Shetland sweaters from Anderson & Co from Lerwick are wonderful. Wore a new one today, worth every penny.
Normal usual fear of radioactivity on TMS. Alpha particle may kill, Beta and Gamma don't. Humankind was probably created by hormesis.
