I loved the London 2012 opening ceremony.

But it is noticeable how much classical music by the great French composers is being included tonight.

Unthinkable here, alas. But it seems that in France classical music isn’t seen as ‘too elitist’, whatever that means. #Paris2024

@Olympics The Stig?

Appropriately enough 'Jeux d'eau' - that poor piano in the torrential rain 😞

And that poor piano! Couldn't they put a gazebo over it to protect it from the rain? #Olym

@pete23980 Even your Goldfish wouldn't have found that version of the dance difficult

First time at a Whiskey tasting tonight. What a great experience. So many different flavours. Think I might have expensive tastes. Luckily for my bank balance they were sold out of my favourites.

Great fun playing with Deep Down Brass tonight, if a Little chilly! And a Great venue at Binks Yard in Nottingham.

Ryan's favourites playlist for background music at tea today: The Macarena, Another One Bites the Dust, Prodigy Firestarter, Katy Perry Fireworks then we had to skip the Christmas tunes! Certainly varied listening tonight in the Lax household

Late to the game but if Twitter is now X, do we still post Tweets or are they Xs?
