Search
Platform ·Today’s blog time has mainly been spent working on some of the technology stack for this blog: I’d like to get search going. As of now, the first bit of this is done.

Playing and listening to music
Music, Orchestra ·This evening was the final orchestra rehearsal of the year. We spent the first hour playing through some repertoire - basically sight-reading our way through some nice music for fun. Today’s choice was Mozart’s symphony No 41 in C Major.

Brief
Work ·A brief post today, as I’ve been working rather long hours. I have things on my list that need to be no longer on it - and as of now, I think I’ve knocked them off. Phew!

Achilles
Exercise ·For a while now I’ve had some issues with my Achilles tendon. It started a few years ago, at a time when I was upping my running in preparation for a half-marathon. Since then, it’s been somewhat “on and off”.
