#MonksMusic Part 2 starts today. Working forwards with roughly 225 composers & compilation albums from my collection, starting in 900 and ending in 1700 exploring the rich tapestry of Medieval, Renaissance & Early Baroque music.
As before I'll post a composer, their years, a work & a link
Am I meant to do an end of year wrap up about jumpers, winter coats & scarves?

As someone with a disabled family member, the final line really resonates: "Making it harder for a disabled person to leave the house is a dark and false solution to a genuine crisis."

Over the last year, myths about the Motability scheme have spread online and in the right wing media. Now, some of it is government policy. 

In today’s Guardian, I set about finding the facts and why the idea of “free cars for the disabled” has taken hold. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Disabled people driving luxury cars on your dime? Just the latest rightwing lie peddled by Labour | Frances Ryan
Starmer’s ailing government is happy to pursue ideas like cutting Motability, but all ministers will do is damage lives and themselves, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

RAIN in first, which will clear from the SW about 9-10am ish (so a cheeky wee 5/6hr blast). Then it’s a no bad day for most . . . Obviously the RAIN is moving NORTHwards so the NORTHERN half won’t get it until later on

I'd also keep an eye on any western and northern Ferry's for later on as I expect they'll be a few cancellations due to strong winds (especially late Tuesday into Wednesday)

So that's outdoor plans tomorrow morning especially across southern and central Scotland
