I think Kimber is missing his brother Jinks, who passed away last week. If he can't groom his brother, he's apparently going to groom me.

The top of my head is suspiciously clean and slightly damp now. Will be recording tomorrow. Hopefully without a cat on my head...

Apologies - this week's video is going to be late. Our neighbours have decided to have an incredibly loud 2-3 day house party, and the back of our house (where my office is) is unusable because of noise. You'd better believe I'm VERY GRUMPY about this.

My entirely accidental Freddy Krueger cosplay at work today. Note to self: fit check before leaving house….

Advantages of doing loads of work yesterday is that I have today free for reading: Catherine Nixey’s “Heresy” continues to be an excellent insight into the subject of “free choice” in religion.

Small group of singers, but big sound! Carols in the community on Saturday with Ermine Music!

The end of November and first 24 days of December are crazy for choir leaders and community music directors. Everyone wants live music. I wish this interest carried through the rest of the year…. Support your local music makers so they will be here next holiday season too!

Huge thanks to all the singers, participants, audience members and organisers who were part of last night’s “Light Up a Life” commemoration. It is such a special event, and so close to our hearts. My choirs sang their hearts out - I couldn’t be prouder!

There’s something truly magical about moonlight on fresh snow…. This morning were deep into melting slush territory, but last night was glorious, even in the middle of the city.

I bought myself a tarot deck I didn’t need but desperately wanted. It is AMAZING, and makes me heart sing.

“Have you got a quiet day today?” asked the Husbandly Unit. No. No, I have not. 2.5 hours of sing along for dementia told and their carers, then to a fabric sale with Daughterly Unit. Then straight to evening choir with added personnel ahead of next Tuesday’s HUUUGE performance. Finish @10pm.

I’ve been complaining for years that Social Media is getting increasingly difficult to use. So I’m happy to try something that seems less poisonous. Let’s give it a whirl!
