Soprano, choral conductor, violinist, mother, & cake baker (not necessarily in that order). Occasionally gets on soapbox, particularly about music education.

@BrioLeisure Ridiculous swimming session policy, not made clear on your website, has meant we’ve just paid for a full family swim and were only allowed to stay in the pool for less than half of it. Really not impressed!

Lovely to meet @sophiemccartney at @LinghamsBooks today - looking forward to reading the new book #motherhens! @IrregularChoice Given Sophie’s sequin tiger stripe trousers I suggested she try some of your shoes to match 😁 I wear them every time I conduct my choirs!

@DjCraigA @CarrieHFletcher Grease was originally a stage musical - the film came after

@CadburyUK When did multipack bars become ‘fun size’? At least before you could opt to buy fun size because it said on the packet. Now the ‘standard’ size is tiny! Chocolate’s not as nice as it was, either. Stop cutting corners. You’re ruining the brand.

USA - how many more mass shootings must happen before you realise that the only way to reduce them is to ban guns? It’s really not rocket science.

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect attention from one thing by making a big deal of something else entirely.

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@MarkShurben @DeborahMeaden Are you saying that unless you’re an MP you shouldn’t be allowed to criticise the government? That’s not how democracy works. We can’t all be MPs. We can all hold them to account.

⁦@BBCNews⁩ This may seem unimportant in the scheme of things, but it’s UTMOST, not ‘upmost’ 🙄 https://t.co/We1Tz3IUTb

@princezip2u @macjay72 @ashleyljames Wow. ‘Her’ Africa?!

And people say we don’t have a racism problem…

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@mister2988 @BBCNews @BBCNicWitchell Ah, reading and common sense. Knew I’d missed something important 🤦‍♀️

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

Wow @BBCNews have you totally abandoned your neutral status? @BBCNicWitchell saying the Sussexes claims are ‘absurd’ with no evidence to back it up (did he not see the comparison in media coverage between Meghan and Kate’s pregnancies?) 1/2

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@SoVeryBritish Bit chilly today, isn’t it?

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@mister2988 @BBCNews @BBCNicWitchell Describing something as ‘absurd’ is an opinion, not a fact. On what basis are you surmising that the opposite views are factual? What evidence do you have?

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@mister2988 @BBCNews @BBCNicWitchell Also, regardless of your opinion on Meghan and Harry, the BBC is supposed to report in a balanced way. This was in no way balanced.

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@mister2988 @BBCNews @BBCNicWitchell ‘Patently’ and ‘demonstrably’ - how so?

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@BBCNews @BBCNicWitchell 2/2 and no counter POV? Isn’t that exactly the point Meghan and Harry were making - that media are biased against them, and particularly her?

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@AmazonHelp Is that it?!

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@AmazonUK Your system for replacing a faulty Kindle Fire (that is only faulty because the delivery driver left it in the rain) is appalling. An hour of my time and it is still not sorted. Not impressed.

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@AmazonHelp Also your customer service agents keep misunderstanding what I am asking. Communication is terrible. I don’t blame them, it’s your system that needs changing.

[Louise Ellinson @ChaLouMusic]

@AmazonHelp Your delivery driver left the electrical item I ordered in the pouring rain. I was offered a refund so I could reorder but delivery time on that item is now January! There was no way of seeing how long a replacement would take unless the replacement process was actually completed
