One to watch out for given the better weather we're having:
In 10 percent of drownings, adults are nearby but have no idea the victim is dying. Here’s what to look for. slate.com/technology/2...

Caught the last 15 mins of An Affair to Remember, and still I cried watching it. It gets me every time. One of my all time favourite movies.

Watched the Aida livestream from the @metopera.bsky.social tonight with Angel Blue as Aida and Judit Kutasi as Amneris. It was a fabulous production and everyone was amazing. The set was incredible. Such joy getting the opportunity to see it. Aida is an absolute favourite of mine.

Any recommendations for Florence please? Planning to visit in the spring for the first time. Happy to see the bigger places but also keen to see smaller places. Thanks.

Last year, I was given quite a few books by friends who hoped that I would be able to read them - my chronic GAD makes concentration really hard. I got a few more today. I thought I’d put together a list of important books for the times we live in.

Listened to @charlesnove.bsky.social as I drove to St Ives this morning. The questions of the day were WAY too complicated for so early in the morning! This was my choice from my music for the drive home this evening. Callas is superb in this recording.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

Starting to look at operas to see this year…… there are several I will see and some I want to see but involve travel (not just a train to London).
