I’ve fallen in love, with this pair of Bluetooth earphones. I wasn’t sure if I would like them. I’ve always had wired earphones before. So I bought a black pair, to try it, and liked them. But recently, I lost them. So I bought a new pair, in pink, for a slightly higher price. And… Continue reading Bluetooth Love

A Soft Spot for the Bass Clarinet
I have a bit of a soft spot for the bass clarinet. It’s an instrument rarely heard, which makes it shine when it does echo. It usually rumbles in the background, unappreciated, but adding a rich texture to the band. It has a beautiful sound, deep as the earth and mellower than caramel that oozes,… Continue reading A Soft Spot for the Bass Clarinet
Four Play Clarinet
I found a new band yesterday, that made me remember why I love the clarinet. They’re called Four Play Clarinet, and they’re incredible. They do loads of popular songs, on the clarinet, and each one is wonderful. There’s such joy when they play, having fun. And you can hear the bass clarinet, it’s rich and… Continue reading Four Play Clarinet
Loving Saxophones and Clarinets
Of course I love the clarinet. I love its rich woody sound, that oozes like caramel, that expresses a thousand stories and songs in each note. It’s an old friend, that I treasure dearly, comforting and familiar. It’s my true love. But there are other kinds of love. And I have fallen head over heels… Continue reading Loving Saxophones and Clarinets
Why I love music
I love music, and I always will. With music, nothing else matters. It is meditation, in its purest form. The melodies seep into my mind, washing away worries and doubts. It relaxes me, quietens busy thoughts and buzzing anxieties, like smoke. It consumes me from head to toe, spreading peace and joy through my bone,… Continue reading Why I love music
Christmas Concert

So last year felt strange without one. We couldn’t do one, still locked down. Ww recorded something, but it wssnt… Continue reading Christmas Concert
Loving Dancing
I love dancing. I always have, and I always will. My grandma always said it came from her. She loved dancing, and always did. It was how she met her husband, my grandfather, at a local dance. Now she’s gone, when I dance with my other half, I think of her, imagine her doing the… Continue reading Loving Dancing
A Better Year
For the past four years, I have struggled with the festive season. I first got diagnosed with the visual impairment in 2017, just before Christmas. It was a horrible time, one of the worst periods of depression I’ve ever experienced, made worse by the cheerful season. The years after were a little better, but still… Continue reading A Better Year
Halloween
In my family, we never really celebrated Halloween. We never really dressed up or watched a movie. We just had a normal evening, and shut the curtains. I think I went trick or treating once, growing up. I don’t remember it being very enjoyable. I think I usually ended up reading some stories, or writing… Continue reading Halloween
Why I Love Headphones
I love headphones. I carry a set everywhere. I wear them all the time. I have a favorite set, a green pair I bought on Amazon ages ago, but have really good sound and are super comfortable. I even have a spare blue pair, just in case. I love headphones. I can’t concentrate in silence.… Continue reading Why I Love Headphones
