Earlier this month, Faversham Musical Theatre Choir and members of Canterbury Operatic Society joined forces to perform ‘A Thousand Footsteps’ on a very windy day in Margate. We think they did a smashing job.

I went to see the Blue Beetle film/movie at the weekend and really liked it. Definitely the most enjoyable superhero film I’ve seen in quite a while. Definitely worth seeing, whether you know the character or not.

On-train announcements from the conductor making me smile on my commute home. Almost tempted to stay on beyond Canterbury East.

Loved watching The Ocean at the End of the Lane @marlowetheatre this evening. It will take me quite some time to think all the thoughts that this has sparked. #MarloweOcean

For a long time, I have been wanting to say the words, but haven't. But now I am wanting to be Brave, and letting "the words fall out honestly". I'm David, and I'm gay. And, of course, here's a song: https://t.co/S5JTZOr7Jn

Tomorrow evening we will be officially welcoming Rev Patrick as our Priest in Charge at an installation service in the evening. Praying and looking forward to the next step in our journey. "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."

Pleased and proud to have performed Shakespeare for the first time. A particular joy to do my favourite, The Tempest. It has been a privilege to play Prospero and Gonzalo (and ‘David’) in Constant Lark’s debut production.

[David B @sing_librarian]

Public service announcement: speed-running Shakespeare is an excellent way to make your brain explode, but also an excellent way to forget everything else outside of the rehearsal room.

We’re in the final approach to performances of The Tempest next week. Such an adventure rehearsing this show. Details/tickets : https://t.co/ZkeMNwVjsS

Glad to have attended @opentablelgbt in Canterbury today, and grateful for the affirming message handed to us.

[David B @sing_librarian]

Our first rehearsal in the space @thehorsebridge today for The Tempest. So excited that I finally get to perform some Shakespeare. Three weeks to go! https://t.co/DdGi51ogMC

@NoRollsBarred_ Fleeced, the Wallace and Gromit sheep-rustling game. Ludicrous and unstoppably smile-inducing.

Outstanding final performance by @CanterburyOpSoc of "The Emperor's Clothes" today. These guys have talent by the bucket load so make sure you catch their next show!
