So apparently we’re expecting a mini heatwave next weekend! 🌞😎👗🍉

How about making Saturday your self-care day and focussing on you 😍

🧡 Leisurely morning catching up on sleep/reading your book, listening to a podcast/music whatever makes you feel good and take your time making that breakfast you never have time to make.
🧡 Then head to our Spring wreath workshop (23rd May at OPEN Ealing at 1.45pm)🌼🌿🌺💐🌻🌹🌷 (materials, nibbles and a lovely glass of chilled prosecco 🥂 all included) bring your friends, come alone- whatever feels right. We’d love to see you. Our workshops are all very affordable and beginner friendly 😊 switch off, unwind and enjoy being creative.
🧡 And still have time to enjoy the sunshine 🌞 later in the afternoon.
🧡 Link in bio to book! 😍#creativeworkshops #thelocalcommunity #ealingbroadway

Ticket link in my bio 👌👌👌🎟️8️⃣4️⃣0️⃣#vexations

I’m proud to be fundraising for YoungMinds by performing Erik Satie’s ‘Vexations’, a solo piano work lasting over 18 hours. It will be on Saturday/Sunday 16/17 May, at OPEN Ealing, an arts centre in west London. This post is a collab with YoungMinds, and any supporters who would be interested in attending can obtain free tickets - link in bio.

At this point next Sunday I’ll have finished playing Vexations, after around 18 hours at the piano, and heading for a 1.5 hour massage.

Jolie Goodman, digital artist extraordinaire, will be making a series of artworks that respond to and document parts of the performance. We’ll post them on socials, and they’ll be available as limited edition prints a little while after the performance.

How you can be involved:

🎟️ Come along for some (or all!) of the performance. Tickets are on Eventbrite, and they’re free. Eventbrite

💳 Donate to YoungMinds via my justGiving site. JustGiving

Buy a wonderful Vexations tote bag, more than large enough to contain 840 repetitions. £8.40, of which £6.54 will go to Young Minds. REPLY ‘Tote Bag’

8️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ Send encouragement by posting ‘840’ in replies to posts we make.

📣 Tell your friends, colleagues and family about the event.

❤️ Share widely on socials.

I’ve drawn on ‘accumulated intelligence’ to do me a run-up plan in the three weeks before May 16/17. My instinct would’ve been to push it push it push it. But having trained him hard to push back on my occasional (haha!!) gross over-motivation, cher Claude knows I’m a bit depleted and has prescribed a week of restorative activity before a gradual build and then taper. I remember this from trekking preparation (don’t break your ankle two days before you leave). So this morning, a short springtime walk, present moment awareness, being in the here and now. Later, a gentle gym session, sauna and then meditation at the Three Wheels Shin Buddhist temple. Yesterday witnessed the London marathon, and I’m taking courage from it, surrounding myself with positive, supportive people. Thank you for being here. Meanwhile, I leave you with wisteria hysteria.
