| Kilburn Silk | April 15, 2009 | Monday saw the breaking of my red V&A mug followed by some distinctly unladylike words. Being a Libran and unable to cope without a matching pair I had to go to our wonderful fine china shop here in town, Avenells ( a store incidentally which has been going for well over 100 years) and buy […] |
| The great eisteddfod madrigal controversy of 2009 | April 12, 2009 | Always fascinating at Eisteddfods (Queensland or otherwise) is how people interpret set pieces. This year in the choral madrigal section the set piece was Amaryllis, fair as lilies, by Horatio Vecchi ( i think that was his name). Apart from the whole ridiculousness of having choirs of up to about 70 voices singing pieces written […] |

| the gods of engraving big ugly trophies were smiling | I’m packing to go away tomorrow to the Eisteddfod. I’m a bad packer. Well that’s not strictly true. I’m good at packing to go away for a month. But for two days I always manage to take twice as many things as I need and return with most of it unworn. Anyway, I have spent […] |
