I managed to make a start on a new fantasy series. Let's see how this one goes.

Goodness. Managed to compose a song that has been credited by my family as my best yet. That's all the praise one needs.

I just walked past a sign that said, "Wanted: Empaths". I could not help but think to myself, "I have a bad feeling about this".

Right. The lyrics to an anthem im writing have wandered onto the subject of faith and works. This could get controversial...

My musical journey has led me to write some Marian hymns. It seems apt to me that a Portsmouth parish has a Stella Maris.

I had a dream last night where if you held out your hand to a penguin, it would instinctively place its wings on them to keep them warm.

That three-piece medley I proposed the other day has evolved into a treatise on the nature of the Holy Trinity. This could get complicated...

Okay. I have got to that stage where I'm writing a three-part song that can be sung as two separate songs. Medley time!

Today's railway trip to London makes me pine for another vacation in Germany...

One does have to wonder; what is the point in a fast service if it only gets stuck behind a stopping service? South Western Railway and the problem of double-track railways.

Peregrination: there's a word I would like to use more often in conversations.

OK. I've officially fallen in love with Altbier (Düsseldorf local ale). How can we make this available on tap in the UK? I'm getting tired of the binary choice between IPA and lager.

I was very impressed by this sculpture of Jólakötturinn, when I saw it in Reykjavik earlier this year.

The Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a giant cat in Icelandic folklore, that roams around the countryside at Yuletide. The Yule Cat looks for people who are not nicely dressed in new clothes for the festivities and swallows them whole. 🐈‍⬛ Credit for art to Natasha Tereshkina

When conducting a choir, is walking about a permissible style when you are not using a music stand? To any choirmasters on here: are you standers or walkers?

Oh dear. That was the worst tasting envelope I ever had to seal for a Christmas card. Yuck.

Whilst rehearsing a hymn in latin, one of my friends was struggling with the words. I did tell him that if latin was easy, we would all be conversing in it!

I am currently trying to resolve my approach to conducting a choir without coming across as an imitation of Leopold Stokowski.

It's going to be one of those days, when you start off in the morning with mashing the theme song to "Beauty and the Beast" with Steps' "5, 6, 7, 8".

I've been pondering about a tune for Psalm 121 ("I will up my eyes to the hills"). It's become quite the earworm, almost meditative.

I can't tell you how much transphobia rests entirely on trans-misogyny. These people can't every comprehend trans men, it literally breaks their brain like Ben Shapiro in that debate. Having burly, bearded trans men use the women's restroom in the Capitol would highlight the absurdity of the rule.
