Scribble, scribble, scribble

I suppose this is what they call a blog. Except that blogs are supposed to be updated more often than this is.

sing

My choir is putting on a "Come and Sing" on the afternoon of Saturday 2008-09-20. Vaughan Williams and (alas) Rutter. Details at the far end of the link in the first sentence. Please come and, er, sing.

While I'm plugging the New Cambridge Singers: we'll be singing Bach's Magnificat in Trinity Chapel on Saturday 2008-11-22. (In the original E-flat version, for those who care.) It'll be good. Please come but preferably don't sing unless you join the choir first.

More consistent notifications of our concerts than you'll get from me are available by email. Let me know if you want to be signed up.

news

I don't normally read the Sunday newspapers, but I was staying with my parents last Sunday and took a look at the papers they'd bought: the Sunday Times and the Sunday Telegraph. Both had about 15 pages of news. The Times had a front-page announcement about Obama/Biden and a short article on some Obama-related subject. Apart from that, every single story in the news section of either paper was UK-specific in some way: mostly things happening in the UK, and a few stories about Brits abroad.

Perhaps there was a separate section called "International News" or something. Even if so: what a parochial notion of "news" these people are working with.

(Probably this is old news to people who read newspapers more than I do. And those wouldn't have been my Sunday papers of choice; maybe some others are different.)

car

I can haz car.

For those who care about such things: It's a Nissan Almera, it's three years old and has about 11k miles on it, and it has lots of bells and whistles that I don't care about.

For those who see the world as I do: It's a car. It appears to get me successfully enough from A to B. I haven't smashed anything or killed anyone with it yet. Yay.
