Early worrying indications that Chris Mason will be trying to make "tranche" happen today
@georgiamann we used sing duermete Nina in our little ‘world music’ group called The Bordurian Working Women’s Chorus.
Also more gorgeous lullabies- there are a lot of Nanitas to different tunes - Spanish lullabies- any of those would be lovely to hear.
@eurostarjustin.bsky.social hi Justin! Can’t find a general eurostar @ so writing to you.. this train to Paris (8 am from kxsp) has filthy loos and nonavigo passes…maybe pass it on?
@tommckinney.bsky.social good to have you back!
Everyone bewailing end of WOlympics but aren’t the Winter Paras happening next week? Often much better.
Hope to get my dad to take me to Clapham Junction one day.
Loved your piece this week in @theguardian.com . Makes me feel I’m there w you.
@tommckinney Richard Stokes was our French and German teacher at school - excellent and a nice man. He ran Liederabends then too.
The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

Just heard your Ramblings on catchup. What a lovely listen! Warm, fascinating and both joined to that incredible landscape. My folks retired to M’boro and I wd drive mum to Clench common often and stare at the beyond - and walk towards Martinsell. They are scattered there at clench.

NEW: Carney nails it. We have to stop pretending.
Read this to understand the deep & dark hinterland behind the speech & why Vaclav Havel’s concept of ‘living in truth’ is the guide we need right now

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."
Shakespeare’s The Douglas was fearsome…
Sublime as ever! Happy new year!

Not sure why my phone has passively aggressively sent me this message, it sounds like something you'd say to a drunk ambassador.
Roman mosaic showing four youthful Genii of the seasons dancing around a draped central object, each in different clothing and seasonal attributes, with the winter figure at upper right wrapped in a heavy hooded cloak.
Astronomical #winter starts today. It's the shortest day of the year in terms of daylight with the sun starting to set later each day until Summer Solstice.
The mosaic depicts the dancing Genii (protective spirits) of the four seasons. The Genius of winter is wrapped in a heavy cloak.🧵1/2

These are bad times for the BBC: Trump is suing, its leaders have resigned, GB News snaps at its heels. In our winter issue, @aiannucci.bsky.social, @lewisgoodall.com, @sophiasgaler.bsky.social and others suggest how it could change.
Three failed Xmas fruit cakes and I’m off to buy an Xmas Colin the 🐛 instead.
@tommckinney.bsky.social my favourite ‘Christmas’ song is Tchaikovsky s Crown of Roses. Sad, haunting, certainly not jolly, seeing the bleak future for Jesus.
We were talking about this the other day and I came up with Shakespeares Elizabeth 1. We fed it in and it came out quite trite, in rhyming couplets, but with a convincing cast of characters. Including the ghost of H8! Quite fun, but essentially meaningless.
@petroc.bsky.social oddly as you played Les Tricoteuses yesterday I was driving over Hampstead Heath on the way back from Yarn Club at work.

In #winter 2018, Icelandic photographer Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir wanted to show her partner, who was away in the capital, how much it had snowed overnight at their home and posted a photo of herself on FB #womensart
@tommckinney.bsky.social my music of the year was Caroline Shaws The Swallow sung at a Dunedin consort @dunedinconsort weekend in Stirling. I still try and sing it with friends. Quite hard…
Shells found in Spain could be among oldest known musical instruments
Do your Xmas shopping @oxfamgb.bsky.social ! Loads of lovely things.
This is a wonderful thread. Scholarship, creativity, a portrait of a generation.
