Burning down the house
Today’s brief is about choosing what you’d grab to save in the event of a fire, assuming all people and animals are safe. I have thought long and hard about this and, apart from a few very rare collectible pieces of music memorabilia, the majority of my possessions are replaceable. Human, and animal, life is […]

Through the window
Today, through my window, I saw a woman walking two dogs… trailing ever so slightly behind them was a bright white cat. I have seen this happen quite a few time recently and I’m convinced that a couple of things must be going on. Either the cat is chasing the dogs on their little walk […]

Ready, Set, Go
This is a ten minute timed post. Whatever I have on the screen after ten minutes is getting published. My day has consisted of work. I have created an online form for a class survey that has been completed over 30 times in the last hour – the power of Facebook… (remind me again, […]

I’m pretty happy with my balance of skills in my life so when this post requires me to think of one thing I’d love to master, that’s quite hard. I like to think, without being too modest, that I’m decent at teaching, playing the music I do, this website lark and so on. Although, one […]
