Went to numerous shops today in an attempt to find either a) a long cardigan or b) a normal ish sunhat that fits my daftly small head. Apparently none of these things are currently available in shops and I'll have to look online instead. But why?

My new printer sings to me and I'm very happy about it. When I ask it to print something it plays a chord, then sings an upward scale, finishing on the major 7th and adding a trill!

Currently doing the typical composer procrastination of ignoring the music I need to be writing because I reallyreally want to write the fun piece that just popped into my head..

If you're in Southampton at the end of the month, you should go to The Stage Door and hear them sing some of the songs from @firebrigademusical.bsky.social (the musical I'm writing with @jennipinnock.com and @helenarney.bsky.social !)

Today is International Workers' Memorial Day. In the 1870s many lost their lives in the coprolite diggings of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and South Cambridgeshire. There is no memorial to them. #IWMD2025

The great Hertha Ayrton was born 171 years ago today. She developed a carbon arc light that eliminated the flickering of previous models, then used her knowledge of fluid dynamics to develop an anti poison-gas fan that could have saved thousands in WWI.

Today I've written some waltz-like piano parts, some very moto perpetuo style piano parts, and have finished off the day with some incredibly stabby piano. Less piano tomorrow maybe?

Adding to @helenarney.bsky.social 's "Sometimes writing a musical involves.." series - You know you're writing a musical when at 11pm you both have ideas on how to fix two bars of a piece, and then you have to sit down at the piano to sort it out.. (while giving @mackenwells.bsky.social earworms!)
