Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. His forces bombed cities like Mariupol into rubble. Raped, tortured & murdered civilians. Targeted maternity & children's hospitals. I took this photo of one the mass graves - it contained 445 bodies in Izium (1/2)

NEW: President Zelenskyy is asked if he'd “give up” being Ukrainian president in exchange for peace. “Yes, I am happy, if it is for the peace of Ukraine. If you need me to leave this chair, I am ready to do that, and I also can exchange it for Nato membership for Ukraine."

I have always thought this is true for composers. I think of my own pieces as ‘messages in bottles’ — trusting that someone might find them one day, and find pleasure therein.

When I’m with my wife and children and it starts to rain, one of us has to say ‘here comes the rain again.’ Someone else then has to reply with ‘falling on my head like a memory’. Before a third person must add ‘falling on my head like a new emo-sharn’. Every time.

Anyone have a spare ticket they can’t use for Festen on Monday or Thursday? Was meant to go tonight but a fatality on the train tracks near me meant all trains were cancelled. Don’t really feel I can stretch to a box (£480) all to myself, which is all that’s left..!
