This month I have been mostly...

Going:

To Tuscany and the Italian Riviera! So I hope to show you some of my photos next month! Meanwhile, here I am looking very chic and continental, and attempting (and failing) to do pouty serious looks!

Reading:
I've been reading some books related to the area I went on holiday, and I'll tell you a bit about them in a few weeks.

Singing:
Don't Stop Me Now, and Hold My Hand, at Rock Choir!

Watching/listening:

I've been catching up on some of the items from the BBC's Make It Digital season. My TiVo was looking very geeky for a while with all the programmes about Ada Lovelace (my new hero!), algorithms, coding, Bletchley Park, etc, as well as the other things I'd recorded such as a Horizon episode about creativity, a documentary about Escher (whose work I'd recently seen an exhibition of), and a documentary about cosmonauts that I'd seen before but wanted to watch again as it was so good.


I also watched a very moving documentary, Seven Songs for a Long Life, which is well worth a watch if you can see it. I didn't really mean to watch it, as I thought that a film about the residents and staff of a hospice might be a bit depressing, but I just happened to have the TV on and was drawn in by the beautiful singing and the wonderful people. It was actually quite uplifting!
