Had a dreadful rehearsal on Sunday. Arrived home in a foul mood. tattercoats was wonderfully supportive and sent me off to work in the evening with a nice stash of yummy things for dinner to cheer me up ( Read more... )

Having learnt to accept my inner Titch (see the last entry), I'm watching the diminutive Adonis for style tips. One thing struck me immediately - blazers are useful. I've been wearing a sports jacket of some sort on and off for years, so this is not a great departure. They're very useful with pockets for your bits and pieces. I have Navy Blue, ( Read more... )

For a bit of relaxation, Tattercoats, P & I watched some of the coverage of the RHS show at Chelsea, hosted by the national treasure that is Alan Titchmarsh. The surprise was that he was wearing exactly what I had been wearing to work that day: Blue blazer, light beige trousers with a black belt, casual but collared shirt (no tie) and brogues. I felt rather ( Read more... )

So if anyone has a request for something they'd like me to bring, please comment here before about lunchtime tomorrow.

Why did all the dead spiders choose to linger in the star-shaped moulds and the dead woodlice in the square moulds? All the other shapes were clear. Have I accidentally hit on one of the clues as to how the universe works?

I'm having just too much fun. Last night was the first orchestral rehearsal of the year. Lots of new music handed out for the concert on the 29th March. Among these, one is a romp through classical music as seen on Bugs Bunny cartoons, which has time-changes galore. Another is the theme music to Mission Impossible, an absolute percussion-fest, but ( Read more... )

What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Musician

Doo doo de doo waaaa doo de doo! (<-- That's you playing something.) Everyone appreciates the band/orchestra geeks and the pretty voices. Whether you sing in the choir, participate in a school/local band, or sit at home writing music, you contribute a joy to society that everyone can agree on. Yay! ( Read more... )
