Hello from a delinquent social media user. Hope you are well or otherwise doing your best. Here are some photos from my run this morning along Te Awakairangi | Hutt River. Autumnal morning runs are the best runs IMHO

#NowPlaying There are worse ways to spend an evening than listening to “The Dude with the Smooth Voice”™️ (as my oldest son refers to him). It’s a wonderful album

I love George Eliot’s work, so I am
generally biased in favour of recommending her novels 😄 I’m only at chapter 3 of Romola, though, so I’ll let you know my thoughts when I finish it. ICYI, this is how she felt about this novel

#NowPlaying From one Griselda to another. Vivaldi’s version of this opera is more overwrought than Scarlatti’s (which is more pathetic). Both musically rewarding. Fabulous lineup on this recording, too.

#NowPlaying and especially loving the elegant wind, racketty horns and pingy brass playing on this album. Overall it’s an immediate, tight, exciting performance. Relatedly, my love for Beethoven never wanes

Ngā Mihi o te tau hou pākehā | Happy New Year, good people of Bluesky! Ngl, the first day of 2025 could look rosier, but this rubbish weather is just a carryover from 2024 and I’m sure 2025 will serve us up some glorious weather shortly.
