In Peterborough Cathedral today, unexpectedly, I found heart-wrenching poetry by children from Gaza. Part of a project by (I think) @handsupproject.bsky.social. One is about (our) silence being worse than war so i thought I'd share, even tho' people may know about this @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Amazing light! Looks like a demented giant woodpecker is rapping its beak on the railway bridge.

My mum's 89th birthday today. She bought her peace-sign necklace on one of the Aldermaston marches in 1958, and has worn it every day since.

I like encountering my granny (who died 40 years ago) in the pages of her music – just like I used to bump into her under the mulberry tree in her garden, each one of us obscured in its boughs sagging with fruit. Here is her scholarly comment on one of the Goldberg Variations. I agree.

just found this, written by mum 70-ish years ago as an example of ‘using a tone row’ for her undergrad composition class - and it’s rather lovely.
