Excellent choice! (Obviously I meant ‘heading’ above, not ‘hearing’!)

Can Bluesky see into my head?! I excitedly bought myself an orange desk chair a while ago and I’ve been wondering what other colours to put with it in my home office and had been hearing towards the blue/green/teal spectrum.

That the staff were informed of this devastating decision on the same day that the government announced the scrapping of the EBacc, which will hopefully go some way to restoring (albeit gradually) numbers of pupils studying music in schools, is an extra kick in the teeth.

Sign the Petition Stop the suspension of undergraduate music courses at The University of Nottingham

Were it not for my time at/in Nottingham, I wouldn't have my degree, my diploma, my business/career, most of my orchestral, chamber and choral education and experience, or many friends and colleagues.

Verb Your Enthusiasm  
 
I recall the first time it circumstanced,  
this problem that routines with my words –
I was in the kitchen, plating my food,  
when my nouns conversioned to verbs.  
  
Friending others with similar troubles,
we workshopped hard at it for days, 
as we dialogued in search of solutions,   
and flipcharted the hours away.  
 
I can’t stop myself languaging weirdly. 
Are they called nerbs or vouns? I’m not sure.  
The doctors cannot antidote me, 
while to poem provisions no cure.  
 
Now I diarise each time they’re eventing –
whenever I coffee or Youtube or gift. 
I’d podium, too – if I ever won anything,
and it weren’t for those medalling kids.

Brian Bilston

I’ve been poeming about how my nouns keep conversioning to verbs.

An ice cream cone with two scoops, pink and brown, in front of a stone archway inscribed with ‘Stockbridge Market’.

Had to redress the balance after an underwhelming ice cream experience the other day 🤣 Joelato to the rescue!

Off down to the Toon with Philippe for a wee concert. Nice to hear part of an Albinoni double oboe concerto while getting my coffee!
