#ILoveTheNHS because it's not just for the lovely or lovable. Medical care for all according to need, not perceived merit or money.

Blogs like buses, nothing for ages and then two at once. First person singular, and impeccable. Thanks for reading https://t.co/7GCwRfp7NJ

@peterdyke49 Subjectively… there is nothing like live music. Watching the music being made - individual skill plus interaction. And the sound bounces around the room (sometimes is sensed as vibration as well). The word ‘immersive’ is over-used which is a shame as it’s appropriate here.

Customer service from ⁦@Hepple_Spirits⁩ exceeding all expectations. I broke one of their beautiful glasses, which they no longer sell - but found me an odd one from ?who knows where. Superb gin in any glass, but this really does make it taste better. Many many thanks.

Bored on Saturday morning? Well, I have blogged again and welcome readers. I guess it’s about finding my way, there, back again and onwards. https://t.co/G8gZCEd94c

Thank you @bbcradio3 #saturdayBreakfast for that lovely music by @Thomas_Kitching. Very excited to hear his waterways book is out, and thrilled to discover a live gig near me. Tickets booked. Seasons of Change (previous book & tunes) is a joy.

Brilliant idea

It’s the feast of the Epiphany and I have written a blog. As well as taking down the Christmas decorations.

@peterdyke49 @3choirs @PottFrancis “startling and consoling” is a striking phrase and perfect in identifying art’s purpose and function (art in its wider sense). My first thought on reading the work’s title was a despairing, scared ‘no, how can I bear to think of it?’ @peterdyke49’s phrase addresses my question.

New blog : keeping my head above water. This one emerged from diverse fragments and suddenly they entwined and became a single thread. It was very pleasing.

@P_A_Berry @TheatreRoyalNew Saw it last year on Ros’ recommendation. Yes, great: powerful and accessible.

[Lesley Jones @AlresfordReader]

By the way, I have written a new blog. https://t.co/vyABH4ZgtX

@P_A_Berry There’s nothing like a good cup of tea.
