I go to Huddersfield tomorrow for the opening concert of the festival. Which is a bit weird as it’s the first time I’ve been back for a couple years. Promises to be a great programme with new works by Rytis Mazulis and Bryn Harrison played by the Explore Ensemble

I found myself in South Woodford this weekend and fancied seeing a film at the cinema, an Odeon. So I went to see The Roses. Except I couldn’t because it was only being shown on an upper floor and there was no lift so I had to watch a different film on the lower floor. Outrgeous! Very poor show

Wonderful to see my daughter, Naomi, this weekend. She saw me climb the stairs for the first time and was moved to tears. Well I guess it IS quite emotional seeing your old man walk unaided for the first time in five years
