The pensioner & the DJ

Okay, so it’s been a while since I last posted, so as usual please accept my excuses in short-hand:

work, teaching, playing, scales, exam pupils, conducting, work stress, unfortunate colleagues, lesson, concerto, quintet rehearsal,exam accompanist, A-level recital, Orchestral conducting, rehearsal

So there you go, I’ve been busy. Today, however, I was struck by the genorosity of a Llanelli pensioner, who won 3.5m on the lottery, and gave it all away to family and charitable organisations. I hold this in stark contrast to BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, whose salary was recently published in the press, who couldn’t even be bothered to drag himself out of bed this morning to host his own show because Leeds lost the pay-offs (although from his on-air outburst via telephone I imagine his ego was too large to get out of his minimalist-styled St David’s Hotel room).

Different strokes for different folks, eh?

PS Looking forward to seeing Paul Merton Live tonight, courtesy of a gift from the lovely Sarah
