Good morning all. Hope you are well. My music today is wonderful solo piano music from Japan in the same genre as Alexis Ffrench:
I think this is amazing. Just wait till quantum computing gets into this work! https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/12/20/scientists-discover-the-first-new-antibiotics-in-over-60-years-using-ai
Good morning all. Hope you are well. Here is my choice of music for today
Well, an interesting Boxing Day with the family! Here's my choice of music to listen to while writing today:
Morning all! Today's Music as we prepare for the arrival of the family for our trad dinner:
Today's special drink: Negroni Sbagliato - https://www.tastingtable.com/688056/negroni-sbagliato-cocktail-recipe/
Great line re Ron de Santaclaus: “For a candidate who talks at length about his own disinterest in ‘managing America’s decline,’ people around Mr. DeSantis are increasingly talking about managing his.”
I am gearing up - doing exercises and cutting down the wine - to watch Killers of the Flower Moon which goes on for days, apparently (well 3 hours and 26 minutes). Didn't they teach Scorsese to edit?
Watched Bradley Cooper's film Maestro last night and didn't enjoy it. I thought the plot lines were messy (I know Bernstein led a complicated and convoluted life), the dialogue limp and I missed the joy of Bernstein - his own music and his work with orchestras. Not a film to watch twice.
Not the worst film I saw in 2023 - that would be Daliland which tied with A Haunting in Venice. Both dreadful.
Jist cooked this (very nice): https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/prawn-recipes/rose-pesto-prawn-pasta/
Just made an Aperol Negroni (Aperol instead of Campari). Lovely.
Keith Richard is 80! (So he says)
