I have somehow conned my flute ensemble into also becoming a baroque recorder enemble, and our first recordery rehearsal will be tomorrow. This is great, because there's been loads of nonsense in the news recently about the recorder dying out as an instrument.

Not on my watch, boys!

If everything goes to plan, I'll be running classes for adult beginners by this time next year, too!

Music is for *everyone* and should be accessible in every way - From financial to physical.

I wanted to edit 2.5k words down to like, 1k on the grounds that literally nobody wants to read a thesis on mutual aid. I edited it down to er... 5.1k.

Good job, Dee.

(I hit publish anyway lol, fuck the police)

I'm having one of those dreadful days where I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something but I cannot for the life of me work out what, and there's nothing in my diary or my inboxes. This is like the shittest slow-speed-low-stakes panic attack and I feel like my brain is going to leak out of my ears. Like I'm genuinely distressed but in a very low key way.

Someone please send me to the coast for a constitutional holiday. The wind farms would chill me out, I'm sure.

Once again spent 5 days in the really fascinating Victorian observatory and forgot to take a single interior picture.

I am planning to go again, probably in august, to work on a few projects and spend some time looking at wind farms. You should go, too!
