Having a further little dig it could be similar to Buckingham's saraband in the board lute book but that is in an accords noveuax tuning so can't know exactly at first sight.

Hi Sonya, I think concordances can be found here for Buckingham's Ghost and other related songs. www.diamm.ac.uk/documents/25...

Hi Sonia, I do recognise but currently away so can't check. I get back tomorrow evening so I can check then. Which manuscript is it? @roslynpotter.bsky.social also might know!

Day 5. 50 in a row! Also learnt to count in my head.

YOU: How did your date go

ME: Eh, I think it's going to stay Platonic

YOU: Why?

ME: Well I said the chicken sounded good, and she said 'when you say "good", do you mean "good" as we say a child is good or a horse is good, or that it contains goodness, or that it promotes goodness through its acti

Beginning of day 1.

Eric Thomas is fundraising on behalf of Crohn's & Colitis UK I’ll be taking on 123 skips a day throughout August, that’s 3,813 skips in total – one for every 1 in 123 people affected by Crohn’s or Colitis in the UK. I’m supporting Crohn’s & Colitis UK because...

So far the challenge of skipping has been a shock!

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! Video updates will continue below in the thread.

This month I am going to be taking part in @crohnsandcolitisau.bsky.social #bigsummerskip.

Backstory: after needing surgery last year I was diagnosed with Crohn's and the charity was such a massive help.

Skipping history: nil.

Fav exercise: lying down, perhaps holding a book for conditioning.

Me (pulling sheet off an oil painting): Voilà! I must say I'm very pleased with the colours - I thought the waterlilies came out beautifully

Boss: ...

Me: what

Boss: errr I'm sorry, when I said 'can we monetise this concept' there might have been a small misunderstanding

Bring back the sax!

Image of skeet saying, dear lord the slowest if my complaints could passions move by dowland I have ever heard on radio three this morning

The one thing to annoy me enough to post about it on social media it seems.

Quite possibly the slowest Morales I have ever heard on radio three, sigh.

obviously c) is that they should only be allowed to enter university challenge as “Oxford” and “Cambridge” unless each college wants to be individually assessed for the REF

I know this seems like a tiny thing but I am so, so committed to the idea that Oxbridge should a) not have an earlier UCAS deadline b) not have the stupid “can’t apply to both” rule in place. They aren’t special! Stop pretending that they’re special!

Few know Orkney to be the home of the world's first recorded Pokémon sighting

A BBC news headline which says “Penguin says it did “all necessary due diligence” with The Salt Path

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

So much going on at St C’s, Edinburgh, in June - join us!
