Jane Evans

@carlafrancome @EdmondChuiHW If @KingsCrossAcad1 hasn’t already weighed in, that photo of scooter racks is from Kings Cross Academy, where almost all children arrive on foot / scooter.

@EdmondChuiHW These are great- if you pass again would you mind seeing what make they are? I’ll try and check if I pass too!

Hive mind 🐝 I have a question for you re a local school. It’s near 2 low traffic neighbourhoods, and the headteacher and their team are keen for some pointers. Lots of people are coming by scooter and bike! “Each of these could be one less car trip!” The headteacher … 1/3

@kientan74 @Botanygeek @BarclaysUKHelp I thought of your previous tweet when I saw @Botanygeek ‘s update. The parallels are striking (and massively depressing, given how much traction AI is gaining). 😡 for you both.

@Botanygeek @BarclaysUKHelp To be fair, even the Home Office has trouble with the biometrics of some faces... 😑🤦‍♂️ twitter.com/kientan74/stat…

@MrAndrewCotter @theiaincameron One was last week, one was yesterday. One trip I went on, the other I didn’t. So tbh don’t talk to me about views rn

@theiaincameron Truth.

Wide-angle drone shot showing Braeriach, Loch Eanaich and Sgòr Gaoith. Some of the best scenery in the Cairngorms.

@EnsembleRenard Does she want to borrow my Marigaux in the meantime?

STOLEN OBOE - PLEASE SHARE Our wonderful oboist Francesca Cox has had her Oboe, reeds and iPad stolen in the Clapham area (near the high street), just 5 days before our debut at the Aldeburgh Festival. See pictures for more details.

Not the best photo sorry (and it looks like our coffee machine is operated by a giraffe!) but if you want a coffee (or gin!) and are at the #plsa investment conference, then come and see us at our stand (also keen to talk #esg and #fiduciarymanagement )

@CorinthianCO @StJPiccadilly @LElschenbroich @_oliviaboen @TomitaCoco Worth waiting for the lovely oboing at the end! 😘😘😘

A peek into our final rehearsal before tomorrow's concert at @StJPiccadilly, with @LElschenbroich bringing out our very best in Mahler's Fourth. We're joined by soprano @_oliviaboen and we also play Mendelssohn with @TomitaCoco. Tickets still available! wegottickets.com/event/569884/

@JohnFinnemore You’re after the violin version of “all fur coat and no knickers”…?

Musicians! If you wanted to say a talented amateur violinist spent too much time showing off a show-boaty technique and not enough time just practising the basics, how would you put it? (I’ll delete this when I’ve got a good answer, so as not to waste future answerers’ time…)

@suzyredred Bold!

@hugorifkind Woman v squirrel is ongoing battle here. Clear plastic hemisphere baffle worked very well until a cooking apple fell on it and it broke. This feeder works but is VERY ugly. Btw do you like our weird blonde squirrels?

Fuckers.

Anybody ever found a genuinely squirrel-proof bird feeder? Little shits.

@EarlOfPasties You’ll find me hiding out in my nature reserve.

@EarlOfPasties How about this one? When I phone up Howarth’s (the oboe shop) I always have to say “it’s Jane Evans, no, not the professional one”

@EarlOfPasties A colleague sent me this the other day. And weirdly her brother is also called Owen, like mine. I googled her and she sounds cooler than me though.

Happy New Year to all our followers! We’ve got some great music to share with you in 2023 and we can’t wait! First up: Friday 27 January, 7pm @StJPiccadilly Rebecca Tong returns to conduct Glinka, Strauss with @wyopolly and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5 wegottickets.com/event/562805/

This is the kind of resolution I can get behind… Feed your soul: the 31-day classical music diet for January theguardian.com/music/2023/jan…

Thought I would thank @officialnhaynes for a whole Christmas holiday of reading joy.

@Dr_KatherineS @SussexWildlife I wonder what they chatted about as they passed?

Can anyone identify the tracks in the snow next to our cat’s? We are thinking Gruffalo … (or more likely badger?) #wildlife @SussexWildlife

@suzyredred Shelled Sunflower seeds are absolute winners regardless of what you use to dispense them. We can only have squirrel-proof feeders otherwise we have zero birds and a dozen squirrels.

@sasoper You should come along, Stephen - loads of heavy brass to enjoy! I hear there are a few balcony tickets left…

Have had a great day playing Rachmaninov and Shostakovich ahead of tomorrow’s concert. Last played Shosta 5 in youth orchestra but turns out it’s like riding a bike!
