Mum, GP&medical educator, cellist/singer (classical, early music, folk), gardener. Loves nature and humans. Cat and chicken carer. Learning Irish, Welsh, and B/C accordion. Runs slowly, wild swims, cycles. Politics - look after the vulnerable.
Really enjoying BBC Radio3's Carols Across the Country, @jackieoates.bsky.social sounding great and they also just played a recording of "Tomorrow Will Be My Dancing Day" which I'm pretty sure was the Jesus College recording from 2010 which has one of my sons on treble. (They didn't say though)

I am calling a ceilidh on Tuesday for students, most of whom won't have been to a ceilidh before (a very international group).
Can anyone recommend extra dances I could do which are easy to pick up and still fun? I'm thinking difficulty level of eg Gay Gordons or The Flying Scotsman.

I’m old enough to remember when the Director General of the BBC categorically didn’t resign after one of its flagship politics shows literally photoshopped Jeremy Corbyn with a Soviet hat and painted red with the Kremlin in the background like some kind of Cold War-era communist mural.

There are still tickets for the concert I'm in this Sunday evening. Lots of lovely tunes and the solo violinist is playing a concerto written by a female composer, which nearly got lost and was found in her attic when she died. It sounds great!

Cambridge Comhaltas Elastic Band's first ceilidh gig (I was calling; accordion skills not ready for public performance!) I survived teaching a load of KS1 children strip the willow when half of them are still bad at lefts and rights! Note to self: learn more dances with only forwards and backwards.

If we have copyright laws to moderate how human creators are allowed to borrow and steal from each other, why are we ok with allowing big companies to do it in the name of AI 'progress'?

This is his repeated attacks on what he calls the "lanyard class". Who are the terrible people who wear lanyards? Doctors & nurses, care workers, teachers, managers, administrators, secretaries. The people who hold society together, who keep everything running, who do the jobs he wouldn't stoop to.
