Enjoyable late afternoon at Brunel University
Beautiful sunlight as I arrived at Brunel this afternoon to watch Jaybirds perform.
This production by Jaybird is really good and so thought provoking. There are so many facets to the work that I feel I would like to see it over and over again. It truly is art when you know each time you view it and listen you will discover something new that intrigues you, challenges you, inspires you and evokes emotions to the nerve points stimulated by the words.
Alex, Ella & Will are true wordsmiths weaving what they have touched and viewed in the days we are having now. There is much more work that could be generated too with that theme and title... as we are surely having days now that are full of uncertainty and challenges with no true co-ordinates to navigate our way through - the result of that dreaded B word Brexit! I feel the areas exploring loneliness are precious to those that are in social pain from loneliness, it feels as if the work would be therapeutic. I loved the Moon Bathing that Ella had written and presented. I really felt in the scene she was drawing me into with her words.

I love the set - simplicity but with a complexity of dynamics and impact.

Prince William visits & flies London Air Ambulance
Prince William was then escorted to our charity’s mess room, where he met those currently involved in delivering our service, including our research lead and some of the medics that attended recent major incidents in the capital. The teams shared recent and upcoming developments to our service.
The team also took time to reflect with The Duke on the mental impact that some of the incidents we attend can have, and how we can improve our debrief process to support our teams.
This year, we are aiming to fund a redevelopment of our facilities in collaboration with the Evening Standard. The plans will give our crews additional space to talk and debrief after challenging missions. We hope that this will be invaluable for our team’s mental wellbeing.

The Coaches Perform 'Sweet Dreams' | The Voice UK 2019
ITV The Voice the show tonight has been magical and awesome. Wow this performance of Sweet Dreams was Sweet and dreamy.... look at the age spread... our Tom is amazing he never ages in his love and passion for singing and performing..... had tears in my eyes all though the show as something so so magical going on... especially when Tom turned for Peter Donegan, the son of Lonnie Donegan...completely unknowing yet something connected to make the turn. As I am 64 remember Lonnie and Tom when I was girl and grown up with Tom around in our pop life... lol even remember having his name as a fan on my pencil case at school.....
Thank you ITV for a great evening this evening - so looking forward to more.
