#Clapham, London. Globetrots with @guyraybould. Plays with @kensingtonSO when not lawyering. Tries not to be a grumpy old sod. #Rejoiner 🇪🇺

I may have lost a 119 day run in Wordle today but I scored 10/10 in today's quiz. #quizoftheday https://t.co/9TXNPUoHTD

It was so bloody lovely to see these people today. We had a blast.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@tommyrpearson And yes I timed it.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@tommyrpearson Was in a meeting a few weeks ago - one question from a colleague took 3 minutes - so 5% of the total meeting.

[Kensington Symphony Orchestra @KensingtonSO]

Next concert on Monday 25 November: Andrea Tarrodi for winds, Grace Williams for strings and Mahler 4 for everyone, with @Monica_Soprano

@KathyLette @E_N_O @WhichPennySmith Your gorgeous, young photographer is pleased how his photo came out! Amazing production: beautiful and disturbing.

🦸  Get a programme @SinfoniaSmithSq on Monday to find out the inspiration behind Strauss's tone poem Ein Heldenleben…

🔊  …and why the composer decided to use no fewer than EIGHT heroic horns 📯📯📯📯📯📯📯📯

Scored 10/10 in today's quiz. At least one lucky guess but this is a first for me. #quizoftheday https://t.co/9TXNPUoHTD

@rebeccawwrites See Royal Exchange, Manchester 1994 but only second half (after first half of togas).

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@microbass1 @guyraybould Thank you!

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

10 years ago, @guyraybould and I got in a taxi and headed to Chelsea Town Hall to get married. Sure we do not look a day older.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@DonnaLennardSop @guyraybould Thanks. We are out in Spain so dinner later.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

Some good things happening in the next season of @KensingtonSO. #Mahler 4, The Planets, RachPag and two fabulous cor anglais solos in Ein Heldenleben and Rapsodie espagnole.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@Browbar1 Not today. A measly 5 after a full house yesterday.

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@sueastles1 @guyraybould There will be none today. Massive storms this morning.

Day 2: from Catalonia to country no 9 of the year, #Andorra. From a city squashed between the mountains to a forest walk in the pines (higher up than the summit of Ben Nevis). @guyraybould

[Chris Astles @Castles73]

@Ben_Curtis_1 Thanks Ben. It is a pain - I can see why some stations would be prioritised for closure on staff issues but it does feel that Clapham
South is the first to be affected. Clapham North, Oval?
