I think this should be somewhere else really, but I still can't get the index page so I have to use the threads that come up on Unread Posts.
Nick Clegg on Private Passions mentioned a teacher of German at school who had given him a lifelong love of lieder. I remembered Ian Bostridge saying the same thing. A bit of simple googling confirmed that they both went to the same school (Westminster), and are not far apart in age. The teacher was Richard Stokes. Good teachers can change lives - I've always known that, but I thought this a particularly interesting example.

Morning all.
Had a disturbed night's sleep with a nightmare and disruption from people walking past the flat (and music from people within the tenement).
Not rising as early as I had hoped, but earlier than I had feared!
Looks like it's a brilliant blue sky out there. Looking forward to going out.

You wouldn't be looking forward to going out here. It's dark, gloomy, cold and raining. A far cry from yesterday when it was almost tropical. Back to normal I think.  |

Morning people. I'm afraid getting up was the absolute last thing I wanted to do this morning. A weekend of driving followed several days of relentless travel and my brain is mush, I've got a headache and I just don't want to be here, talk to anyone or do anything. Does anyone have a spare invisibility cloak I could borrow? Grumpy old good-morning-all over.  |

Well I am going to have to buy some new gloves. It may be bright and sunny rather a lot up here but that doesn't seem to make it any warmer!
(Mind you, yesterday was rather mild)

It's the wind blowing in from the Baltics over the North Sea that makes Auld Reekie so cold, hh, but at least those bright crisp days lift the soul. On one occasion that I was on tour there we had a whole week of freezing fog: you could even hardly see the Old Town from Princess St, and the granite was all damp, dull and lifeless, challenging even for an optimist.

Morning.
I've got a nice day of teaching in front of me. It's really quite light (which means that I've got time during the day for admin and preparation for tomorrow - a quick flick through a book on Gesualdo) but features an hour on the Monteverdi Vespers, then a composers' seminar and then finally a composition class.
Went out for dinner last night, which was lovely but I wish I had left earlier and refused the extra helping of pudding, and stopped drinking wine much earlier.

Morning from here too. Grey and drizzling all morning so far.
Has anyone noticed that the board seems to be very slow today?
