New graphics from Target Ovarian Cancer just dropped. I’m really keen to spread the word about symptoms, so please share either my post or the graphic. Other common symptoms include fatigue & changes in bowel habits, it can seem like IBS, and there’s no routine screening.

Ten years ago, inspired by the return of my childhood interest in birds, I set myself a target: see 200 British species in a year.
The result was this book.

If you’re after something to distract you for the next few days, try this. A grid of 2025 things – all you need to do is put them into 45 categories of 45 things each. Rather restful.

One of the myths perpetuated by Shaffer, and this new adaptation, is that Mozart never crossed anything out. He did, and he restructured sections eg using symbols to denote repeats. In K491 he ended up drawing faces instead of asterisks (zoom in). I was so happy to get to see this score at the RCM ❤️
