More horn sections. This time a full big band section (alto, alto, tenor, tenor, baritone) doing a sort of R&B 9/8 thing. Very thrown together today, but fun to arrange.

If you need something heartwarming today, go online and read reviews of TVs written by old people. "I simply can't imagine having anything better and am so sorry that I did not consider this some time ago. I can relax and watch programmes now in a very pleasant way." You go on lad. You deserve it. 🥹

The last 2.5 years of Bluesky were a steady build up to "criticism of Jeffrey Epstein's writing ability is ableist." Congrats everyone, we did it.

If you've never enjoyed the exploding whale video, here is your chance to enjoy the exploding whale video
It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

I called out another woman’s name while making love to my wife. Neither of us had heard of her.

“Mrs Agnes Bishop!"

We googled her afterwards. Turns out she was the first woman to head the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg.
