Fortunately I have considerable training in waiting, as my current life involves a lot of waiting around while other people take me places or do things to me

Just been listening to this disc. A prilege to play with Mark Knoop in this beautiful piece, whose musicality and pianism is second to none

I absolutely love Saturday mornings: bath, toast and marmalade, strong coffee, paper. And the feeling of not being hurried
Performances like no other

This is phenomenal. Remarkable. Intriguing , compelling and brilliant. Completely rescues these pieces
Only heard about Jonathan Powell's passing yesterday. Very sad news. A really great pianist with a fascinating repertoire
happy 100th to Morton Feldman, inventor of pp
Happy new year everyone
Have a great day everyone, and a wonderful week. Happy Christmas

Am listening to my favourite CD of recent years
I go to Huddersfield tomorrow for the opening concert of the festival. Which is a bit weird as it’s the first time I’ve been back for a couple years. Promises to be a great programme with new works by Rytis Mazulis and Bryn Harrison played by the Explore Ensemble
Listening toCage’s orchestral music I realise I smile an awful lot
Preceded by a fantastic afternoon featuring a visit from Steve Chase, Heather Roche, and Laurence Crane
I forgot to mentio this marvellous concert of Radigue I attended last weekend

Really excellent and lovely piece by Lisa Streich on this week’s New Music Show
5 years ago an unpredictable and radical event led to me following an entirely different life
The first time in 5 years I have exited my house by foot
I found myself in South Woodford this weekend and fancied seeing a film at the cinema, an Odeon. So I went to see The Roses. Except I couldn’t because it was only being shown on an upper floor and there was no lift so I had to watch a different film on the lower floor. Outrgeous! Very poor show
Wonderful to see my daughter, Naomi, this weekend. She saw me climb the stairs for the first time and was moved to tears. Well I guess it IS quite emotional seeing your old man walk unaided for the first time in five years
I’m loving my new bath chair
My experience of Leamington Spa train station has been entirely positive. Great staff, great café
