"Schubert, Schumann"... Shulman? (TBA...)

Ha!

👀 🤞

What version is that?

I should explore that option

It is very good but the digital album is €15 on Bandcamp, which I think is self-defeating (see @solobasssteve.bsky.social passim)

Good job you were otherwise occupied. Gig wasn't tonight 😄

Over a thousand common swifts have been spotted flying across France today at key migration points … they’re flying home to us! Let’s hope their homes are waiting for them. Who has swifts sharing their homes?

If anyone is within easy reach of Surrey University and would like to see the Pete Roth trio and Bill Bruford with me on Monday, have a spare ticket.

No worries. Good to know for future events.

@mradrianclark.bsky.social Not sure if a gig at Surrey Uni would be too much of a faff for you - or if you would be interested, but I have a spare ticket for Pete Roth Trio with Bill Bruford for Monday evening, just in case.

I thought of one for Swedish too: hemester (backformed from semester). But am not a native speaker so can't vouch 100% for it.

I'm also a proponent of the more EN-UK version: holistay. Maybe we can claim our preferred definition for that word 🤷‍♂️

I know 🥲

Quite! 😡

We saw the lunchtime one. One of the best "classical" concerts I've been to in a long time.

This version with Bill Frisell's band as backing. youtu.be/tIgg_QjJCxQ?...

😂👏

😁

Oh wow! We saw them at the Proms last year doing Shostakovich 5. Brilliant, the whole thing.

I'll mark that one down (especially to write to).

Woohoo! Sky At Night tonight on BBC2. Really looking forward to this. Despite the enthusiasm on the Beeb, it felt like I was missing some details, quite often in the reporting on #Artemis2. Tricky balance, I know.

That's a fair point! 😂

It's _fairly_ sticks-y out there, TBF. Nevertheless, interesting turn-up

Ah, man...

I see a lot of people on here are currently succumbing to “a weird, long-lasting flu-like cold” so it’s probably worth a reminder that COVID has not been eradicated. If you don’t want to help spread a new strain please mask up when out in public.

We were watching the astronauts, er...landing? But they didn't "land", they were in the ocean. The English word "splashdown" just isn't as satisfying as the French equivalents, "atterrissage" and "amerrissage"

And it works for any planet or moon, "alunissage", "amarsissage", "atitanissage"

Woke up and chose violence
