I went to the @barbicancentre.bsky.social this afternoon to listen to an outstanding performance of the #MadridPhilharmonicOrchestra, playing music from 100 Years of Cinema. I absolutely loved it, their conductor Fernando Furones has such joy performing, it was infectious. 👏🥰

At a conference. They use table mics to ask questions to the speaker. I will never understand why people (a) are surprised when they raise their hand and are told to use the mic, and then (b) turn on the mic and then sit/speak far away from it and not actually into it. 🙄

Watching the BBC #Panorama on e-bikes. I’m glad to see that the police is confiscating illegal bikes. It’s a drop in the ocean but good that some action is taken. They’re out of control (e-bikes that is).

My OOO is on! 🎉 I’m so relieved, this year was brutal at work and hectic at the best of times, manic and stretched over the limits at its worst. Now I focus on calming and quieting down, finally getting into the Christmas spirit and enjoying some time with my love. 🎄🕯️

It was a Christmassy whirlwind of a week! Choir Carol concert on Monday, an unexpected pantomime on Tuesday, business dinner on Wednesday, Christmas lights on Friday, a daytrip to Europe on Saturday, wrapped all Xmas presents this morning and finished all of my cards this eve. 🙌

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.
This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.
Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.
And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

I really need it to turn cold very soon, or my carefully arranged spring bulbs displays will all be out and flowering in the next week or so. I can already see the leaves coming through. 😫

One thing that annoys me more than I’d like to admit: when people who live in your building (which is not lots and lots of flats) don’t greet you in the hallway or communal garden. Like, WTF, we are neighbours. Be polite + say hi, or nod/ smile.
Meh! People are selfish pricks.

Day of work today. I need to get a few things done but am still comfy on the sofa.
I need to get my plant pots on the balcony winter ready. A trip to the local bookshop. Grocery shopping. And laundry. Rock n roll.

First message… Does it have to be profound?
My weekend starts today! Decided on Monday to take the Friday off. Feels very good. Exhale. Try to relax.
