Happy Non-Binary Day.

(Yesterday now. Just. It was today when I started.)

Anyway, how did you celebrate?

I did random stuff.
  • Arranged Pergolesi's Stabat Mater for recorder sextet in the morning.
  • Played trios in the afternoon.
  • And went to a noise gig at the Mist Rolling Inn in the evening.

Meanwhile I represented in typical understated fashion: pink jeans, socks and trainers, black fluffy jumper and sports bra, raspberry earrings. Not raspberry colour. Drop earrings with little raspberries.
A young woman in Nottingham shouted across the street: “I like your...”

I couldn't tell what exactly it was she liked – noise gigs tend to impair your hearing temporarily – but I smiled and said thank you. I'll just assume it was the raspberries :)

Then I drove home with the air conditioning on.

To quote Leila Berg in Little Pete Stories: That was a good day.
