Lovely game... And I found it for Android and play it with my kids on my phone now... It's called 'funny towers' and you can get it off APK Pure. Occasionally I get my ST out and force them to use a joystick

Today would be my beautiful Cleo's seventeenth birthday. I can't believe it's 7 years since brain tumor took her. I still think of her every day in some way. I made, as she called it, 'Leekan potato' soup. With plenty of wine in it, as she happily told her teachers once. Happy birthday.

The end of a fabulous week performing Cav and Pag with #NorthWalesOperaStudio and our wonderful friends that played with us in the band... Our final shows were in the magnificent St George's Hall in Liverpool.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

#TodaysOffice with the wonderful @BlazeEnsemble.. the Old Hall at Lincoln's Inn. Beethoven's Septet is a piece of pure joy and never fails to bring a smile to my face

It's often hard to see past the technical difficulties of a piece like this, and while you can overcome them it is often still a barrier to being able to let the music speak. Happy that with my lovely Blaze comrades we found the core yesterday

The lovely All Saints Church on the Fulham side of Putney Bridge... Performing the monumental Schubert 8tet with wonderful @BlazeEnsemble. A piece that after yesterday's performance and several others over the years, I finally feel I get.
