The relativity of time : 3 minutes download time remaining is actually more than the 11 minutes it takes to cook my pasta.

This is one of the fastest-growing areas of sexual assault amongst young people and there is almost no discussion of the need for legislative reform so as to establish a criminal code response.

Maybe someone needs to make a deepfake porn of Mark Carney for the government to see it as a threat?

According to Apple Music, I have been listening mostly to the Freischütz directed by Laurence Equilbey this year, closely followed by il Viaggio Musicale by il Giardino Armonico… and pretty much nothing else. I’m boring that way 😏

Watched an episode of the last season of Stranger Things with my kids. Read the pitch of the previous 4 seasons. Don’t get the hype…

Just heard that Tom Stoppard has passed away. Sad news, he was a great playwright.

If I was a polymer scientist, I would develop a film that you can put and maintain around and under your nose so it doesn’t get rubbed raw when you’ve got a cold and have to use tissues all the time.

Our run of 'Walküre' seems to be too quickly coming to an end!! We had our fifth performance last night and we only have two more: 27 & 30 Nov. Everyone must see this new production by Calixto Bieito!

Act 2 is still hit-and-miss, but overall much better. Tamara Wilson is vocally secure and dramatically convincing. De Barbeyrac is pretty much ideal; the low tessitura of the Todesverkündigung doesn't seem to bother him at all, and his Siegmund is deeply moving. "Umfängt Siegmund Sieglinde dort?" 💔
