supreme accidental comic timing in Commons just now during PMQs: Keir Starmer: “there is only one party leader who has shown he will say anything, no matter how divisive, if he is paid to do so” Speaker (calling the next question): “Nigel Farage”

A major announcement from Magdalen College. From 2027, the choir will admit girl choristers for the first time in its almost 550 year history. www.magd.ox.ac.uk/news/magdale...

Yikes.

Again, I am begging you, pasta makers. Stop adding that little plastic window in the cardboard package. We won't *not* buy your pasta because we can't see it. Just make your packaging fully recyclable ffs. I won't stop buying it, but I will hate you every second it takes me to rip out the plastic.

Email etiquette, a timeline 2015: Scrupulously edit all emails, FULL punctuation 2017: Don't use too many exclamation marks! People will think you are a small girl! 2021: Occasionally leave out full-stops as a power move 2026: One typo per email to show an AI didn't write it

Yes. This is something I’ve seen repeatedly while researching my PhD.

POV you are an 18th-century composer writing an opera

Sent my PhD supervisor 11.5k new words last night so today I am celebrating by visiting a 16th-century chapel

Question? Is it still too cold to sit outside and work at a London cafe? Answer? Yes.

The perfect birthday card for the musician friend you actually dislike

Just bumped into Timothée Chalamet. He’s said he’s been reading your tweets and he’s changed his mind about opera.

It's Wessex and Mercia vs the Danes all over again

This extremely sad news doesn't seem to have made it to Bluesky yet. A devastating loss for the classical singing and choral world in the UK. I was honoured to be among his pupils over the last few years and like many I will miss his wisdom, knowledge, kindness and humour more than I can say.

Really worrying that my mental health seems to go up and down based on how well CPDL is running on any given day

Both children, my wife and both cats all having a Sunday afternoon nap. I'm sitting incredibly still, and trying to type extremely quietly.

Exclusive: BBC Radio 3 has ended its relationship with Norman Lebrecht following an email to Yuja Wang the pianist described on Instagram as "derogatory misogynistic bullying."

At St Pancras station, a man is thumping out Fairytale of New York on the concourse piano. Going to ask him if he has anything a little more Lenten.

To Lincoln’s Inn Fields; and it being too soon to go to dinner, I walked up and down, and looked upon the outside of the new theatre, now a-building in Covent Garden, which will be very fine.

I've been passed this job vacancy for a DoM at a church in Colton, Devon. I'm told the circumstances are promising: a musical Rector, reasonable resources, ambitions to do even more with both choir and organ.
