Liistening to Stevie Wonder at Glastonbury, for some reason(!)

I am in bed (using iPhone) then I will read a bit more of Kazuo Ishiguro's
' Nocturnes' - five short stories , all with a musical theme.

Fixing myself some cheese & cucumber, cheese & tomato sandwiches, before I switch over to Radio 3 to listen to:

Bach's B minor Mass with the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.

Starts at 7.00 pm!

Sat on a delayed train from Reading :-( probably won't get back til 11.30+ :-(

sorry to hear that, juniper

Not much really...

but have been celebrating exam results and such with matthew and may have consumed a bit too much wine...

Thanks, luckily being entertained with mp3 and internet when I have signal.

Sorry, I don't understand your comment . . . Too much wine ...... How is that possible??? :-P lol

I'm sure it'll do you no harm, Celeste!

I once found that 2 and a half bottles of Chablis was too much after I fell up my friend's stairs, then fell back down them.... Very bruised bottom.

Surely that defies gravity?! That's quite a lot of wine, I'll grant you, but I wasn't aware that alcohol actually altered the laws of physics!

I was a few steps from the top, tripped and "fell up" them It is possible to do!

I do this on a regular basis-just not while inebriated!

Composing!

Digging out some real old-style heavy metal

I haven't got to Nocturnes yet... Have only read Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, An Artist of the Floating World and A Pale View of Hills. Now that I've heard they have a musical theme though, I'll definitely have to get to them.

I really love Kazuo Ishiguro...

you're rather good at composing...

Looking up clarinet syllabi on the main website - I've written out a list of Grade 6 scales, to make me practise the clarinet even though I probably won't take the exam.

Biding my time, waiting for Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show on BBC Radio 7 @ 11pm.

Reading about modulation...

Well apart from doing some work (honest) I am following today's stage of the TdF. Should be a good 'un.

So I have the BBC newsfeed running, the official TdF webpage showing the time gaps and ITV4's twitters coming through on the iPhone. Should be getting live video feed in the next hour just in time for the Col de la Madeleine.

I really should wait to get home and watch the recording, but it's tooooooo exciting.

Catching up on the (last 10km!!) of TdF on ITV highlights after missing that bit earlier when a pupil accidentally arrived at the right time but on the wrong day and I didn't have the heart to turn them away.

Typing up English coursework (analysing Wilfred Owen's poetry) and texting a friend to help her with her Biology coursework.

Looking up voluntary work on the Internet for over the summer

Looking at profile pictures for the 3rd forum award

Taking a break at work... (yes, work on a Sunday... )

listening to shostakovich's symphonies

What, all of them?

no not all of them, i'm listening to number 12

and 4

Feeling pleased with my New Hair...

I'm making kedgeree!

watching wwe

Want some now

Sorry. It's really yummy though and would, I'm afraid, be rather difficult to post to you - anyway, I need half of it to store for another day - I'm a growing lad!

Of course I could have sent it C.O.D.!

(Although I'm actually using smoked haddock.)

That's okay. Could be a plan for dinner though

relaxing

Watching The Page Turner...it is quite scary.

I bought that but still need to watch it!

It sounds like a demonic hindrance to a pianist's performance using a score!

"You thought you had your performance in hand, but you hadn't reckoned on ...... The Pager Turner!"

It's brilliant. This is the third time I've seen it. Be careful who you mess with as lord knows when the revenge will hit you is the message...chilling



That's exactly plot. With just a smidgen(sp!) of revenge thrown in.

Colouring in! I bought myself a colouring book this morning. It's really, really relaxing.

I rediscovered colouring in when my younger cousin got obsessed with it-I'm nearly as bad as her now!

Had an idea so composing something new..

Hrm well it's sort of coming out like I planned, but needs more work...

Sitting on my bench surveying the wreckage that once was my garden - now mostly in a pile in the middle of the lawn
I got a bit enthusiastic with a saw today.
I expect (like a bad haircut) it'll look a bit better when it's grown out a bit. It's actually already looking better, now it's dark..
Not sure it's done my bowing arm much good though

Loading my CD collection onto iTunes now I've got a mobile phone that plays such things.

Thinking very, very hard.
