Tonight’s gig was Index for Working Music, who played Ramsgate Music Hall to an audience of about 25 people!

My Nan is 105 today. Bless her she’s not so terribly well but until just before the pandemic she walked everywhere, was never a drinker & as miserable as sin. Make of that what you will! I never was that close to her but I do admire the old bird. Happy birthday Nan

A little poem I wrote last week whilst procrastinating. Abridged for the character limit here.

#PhDLife #Academia #poetry
My procrastination first began with a packet of biscuits
Followed by some urgent cleaning
Then time was spent thinking about, overpainting that mark on my ceiling
And by the time I was finished & tidied away
I realised that the chapter I’d intended to write, would have to wait another day.

Thus Love at Ramsgate Music Hall was epic. Last night of the tour and they were in a jubilant and celebratory mood #ThusLove #RamsgateMusicHall

A week since I was visited by the duck, he’s turned up again and was quacking through the patio door. I wonder what he is trying to tell me? 🦆

Tonight I saw Helicon at Justine’s in Margate.

It was a bit surreal though because when I arrived at Justine’s I realised that the venue was formerly the Pisces Club where 32years ago I played a gig and the other band performing that night was my husbands. As they say… the rest is history.

What a week, and it’s only Thursday!!
Redundancy Risk on Tuesday
Locked out of the House on Wednesday (and told redundancy risk isn’t happening )
Diverted by a Duck today
Off out later for a well deserved beer and to celebrate the Twelve Taps birthday tonight

What a week. HE is a mess and I’ve suddenly got a new PhD supervisor. Additionally my Chair of Studies is taking redundancy leaving in the summer, and I’m a bit discombobulated. 😕

Saw Squid tonight in Margate, they were exceptional but the crowd was not. So much talking during the set. I can’t get my head around why you’d do that! #Rude

A very primitive red-wing black bird, I’m waiting for them to come back. Also I love him.

I’m supposed to be analysing my data but thoughts are with planning and celebrating the forthcoming spring equinox with friends.

Have spent most of the week with either squid or heartworms new albums on repeat but today feels like a ‘listening to the entire Midlake back catalogue’, kind of day.

Last night was a fantastic evening for music with Anna B Savage supported by Cubzoa at Elsewhere in Margate. Unfortunately as I’m a short girl and the average audience height seemed to be 5’8 - 6’6 the pictures are non existent as I didn’t see much #ShortGirl #Music

Two days and brilliant nights in Brighton and now it’s the weekend! 🙌🏻
Big love to Bella Union and @mrsimonraymonde.bsky.social

Excited to have seen two of my favourites - Plantoid and BC Camplight and a host of new bands too.

Blimey, that was a great weekend for music.
John Grant at the De La Warr in Bexhill on Friday evening - simply sublime.
Tonight Keg at Ramsgate Music Hall. Genuinely one of the best sets I’ve seen there!

Fascinating article on our sleep patterns. Biphasic sleep was once completely commonplace 💤

The forgotten medieval habit of 'two sleeps'
For millennia, people slept in two shifts – once in the evening, and once in the morning. But why? And how did the habit disappear?
