French Horn playing, book reading, cat slave, occasional crocheter. Mum of four. Sweary. I do admin to fund my music habit.

Work is doing a MacMillan coffee morning tomorrow. I’ve made a batch of cheese scones (everyone else will have done sweet stuff) and I’m hoping they will come out ok 🤞🏼

Well the sodding car has failed its sodding MOT and if I’d known it was going to cost me this much when I paid out a small fortune to get the fucking clutch fixed in June I’d have cut my losses at that point but hindsight’s a bitch 😭 On the plus side, got Queen Bee on today’s spelling bee.

Not too much, other than one of the kids being thrown out by an enraged headmaster for uttering an audible "fuuuck." We had someone in demonstrating a bassoon, which didn't seem to impress too many people until someone asked how much it cost, and he said £14,000.

I have been out doing exercise, factored in being back in time for #BakeOff but forgot to factor in showering time. So I’ll be watching it a bit sweaty & will shower straight after, I promise #GBBO

This is Jeremy 📯 Today we will be playing the 3rd horn part of Bruckner 4
A French horn on a stand, viewed from the back. On the floor is a purple cloth for emptying out the condensation (condensation I tell you). 
The floor is wooden.

Listening to music is so much more enjoyable when the players are clearly having the *most* fun with it #LNotP #LNoP

I have a low attention span with piano pieces. I get bored after about five minutes. This piece was no different - however, the technicality of the playing is absolutely mind-blowing. I completely appreciate the skill even if I don’t like the music that much #LNotP

Choir rehearsals started up on Thursday; this afternoon I’m at a steel pan festival in Cambridge. Make some amateur music in community, y’all. It’ll heal what ails you.

I had set aside time today to read @julietemckenna.bsky.social ‘s new #GreenMan book (after re-reading the full set over summer). I’ve just finished it, and it was excellent. It has been a while since I’ve been as excited about a new book in a series as this one, and can fully recommend it 📚👍🏼

Hey @yougov.co.uk ask me how proud masked men blocking ports & roads make me feel about being British; then ask me again how proud the #RNLI make me feel about being British. And then ask me how proud the BBC’s take on it all is making me feel.

Yelling "stop the boats!" as I charge in to rob this NatWest at gun point so that I can later call the Home Secretary as a character witness and the BBC will spend two weeks telling all my potential future jurors how legitimate my concerns were.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

I know bugger all about economics, except that when a few men are richer than god, public services are screwed & lots of working folk can’t afford basics, the system is broken. That anyone who wants to change that is beholden to a mysterious entity called ‘the bond markets’ strikes me as not ideal.
