If you watched #BBCBreakfast yesterday and fancied a dabble into #organ #music there are loads of recitals round the country, often free or just a donation welcome. They usually provide a leaflet about the pieces, the composer and the organist, as well as a history of the building and the organ.
As @annalapwood said, this is an instrument that plays throughout the entire building. I think of it as an air-powered synthesiser.
It's one thing to hear via speakers or headphones, but it's something else when the huge 32ft pipes of somewhere like Temple Church (shown here) rattle you to the core.

Here's this evening's dinner options at Potters. There's a dessert of the day, (Churros), or a range of chilled gateux etc.
Oh well, another post. Potters offer a weekend break, midweek, or a full week. On the interlull days there are no activities so we usually hang around the pool, or beach (did I mention they have a private beach?) or visit the Pleasure Beach or Circus at #GreatYarmouth.
Still have lunch, preselected. So we're sitting with a young family we've met before, also one of the few staying over for the full week.
And here's my lunch: Halloumi Salad.
Brief visit to #Cambridge and a quick spin round the Fitzwilliam Museum, a collection of pottery and artefacts from around the world. Was too busy looking at 1000 year old Chinese and Korean bowls that look like you could buy now in a high-end homeward shop.
When kiddo ran out of spoons, we grabbed some lunch then headed to the #Museum of #Computing #History, an excellent collection and interesting displays, that should be in a much more prominent location than at the back of an industrial estate.
UK technology sector is a huge part of our economy, and yet we can't give this organisation the proper support? For shame. Any big companies that have made their profits around Silicon Roundabout could lob some pocket change here.
Quick visit with the folks and kiddo to the #Cartoon #Museum in #London. A small place full of classic frames by British cartoonists and #comics, from early Gilray to The Guardian's Steve Bell.
Here, Ella Baron has created a graphic reportage on the plight of women in #SouthSudan.
There's also a section on Norman Thelwell, who satirised factory farming trends back in the 50s and 60s.
Not far from Oxford Circus on Wells St.
Just another worried little citizen of this modern-day Pompeii. Techie at UCL, working on Process Automation with MS Power Platform. Scatterbrain, interested in education, languages, Space and lots of disparate things. sorry.
Keeping my space toots at @astrodad as an experiment in self-moderation :)
