Not yet, as far as I know. Rather disappointing, but I don’t spend much time on Blue Sky or Threads now. There is just a CBSO Alumni group on Facebook, but the Chorus doesn’t post to social media- only CBSO does.

Yes, thanks. Next rehearsal 20th Aug and I ‘retire’ after Gerontius on 17th Sept (after 27 years).

🌱 Many plants have stopped flowering, but our agapanthus and hibiscus syriacus ‘Bluebird’ are wonderful.

Guy Verhofstadt 🇪🇺
A historic, shameful moment in US history as it votes with Belarus, Russia at the UN.
The gamekeeper has become the poacher.
Churchill & Roosevelt turn in their graves.

Oh America, this is not the USA I taught in as an Exchange Teacher 1978-79. I’m so sad for the downfall caused by your President 😢

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.

Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

Very glad you’ve migrated the tradition here. We’re lucky to be in our own cottage and our own bed, but love seeing everyone’s alternative and creative arrangements!

I’m one of the women affected but knew about the changes well in advance via workplace and reading financial pages. I don’t agree with universal compensation but do accept that some women were never told. I hoped there’d be a way to compensate those most badly affected but I guess that’s “too hard”

Have you heard this? 👇 Thousands of voices recorded over four and a half years come together with cello by Laura Peribañez Artero to perform Quanta Qualia by Patrick Hawes. It's the perfect soundtrack if you just need 5 minutes quiet time as a new, busy week approaches. Enjoy! youtu.be/acZx_FJlSrI

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers
have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.
