Your humble correspondent finds himself at #KnellerHall, the Military School of Music, to meet the museum’s curator. See this trumpet? It’s the trumpet from the Charge of the Light Brigade, October 1854 in the #CrimeanWar. This and other treasures found in TW2. I lived just a few metres away back in my schooldays, went past this fabulous building every day. #militarymusic #marchingbands #army #raf #royalnavy

#ChelseaManning in #London. Despite all the excellent work she’s doing, she struggled to coherently express any new ideas or get past a simplistic view of modern tech. A lot of buckshot but could do better with more focus. #ica

In the morning, I often walk along the #Thames from #Petersham to Richmond Station with my pal Tom, and we usually stop for coffee and cake at @tidetablescafe, sit outside to watch the world go by. Hence you keep seeing the same old shot. But they’re not quite the same. Directly opposite me is a guy fishing. And I watched him catch a fish and net it. Not a bad life, really. #coarsefishing #fishing #london #richmond

You see them in stock photos but bloody hell, dew-covered spiders’ webs all the way into the distance is something to savour. That one on the right is about five feet off the ground. Do not want to meet the owner. #webs #spiders #schoolrun #wetfeet #dew #morning

I had completely forgotten I’d bought this. I found a couple of unopened CDs on the bookshelf, which shows me exactly how low music has shifted in my priorities. Outrageous. Here we have #MartinFreeman and the legend that is #EddiePiller compile a double album of tunes to share with us all. Cheers gents. #acidjazz #jazz #jazzonthecorner
