@MichaelBerkele2 @BBCRadio3 Loved this.

On Private Passions at noon @BBCRadio3 Peter Hamlyn perhaps best-known for saving the life of the boxer Michael Watson and now fascinated by how AI can transform diagnosis and care of neurological patients. Peter pllays Hildegard of Bingen, Berlioz, Handel and Prokofiev.

'At the end we preferred to travel all night, Sleeping in snatches, With the voices singing in our ears, saying That this was all folly.' Listen to Daniel Day Lewis read Journey of the Magi on the Feast of the Epiphany. tseliot.com/poetry/ariel-p… @FaberBooks

What is the number..? Only 1% will succeed

@laithafarm A glimpse of the marvellous. Can’t stop looking & reading. You’ve made my day.

born in -2°C, so into the office she came for a good warm up. Funny really, back in 2016 this office felt like the height of "farm priorities." Now it's basically a fully converted calf nursery. Priorities change and cold weather has a way of reminding us what really matters.

@adelegeras Agreed!

Fiennes, Allam, Armstrong, Addy (& Russell Beale as Elgar) plus very lovely younger cast members make for 2 hours of most enjoyable viewing in #TheChoral The Great War adds much emotion but it’s the music that sweeps you along and washes away any criticism….take tissues!

@neilphilipmyth Ah. Of course…

@catsmail Not dead, only sleeping.

My dear companion Kiki, spark out last night

If the UK Government are condemning the actions of the IDF, why are we still training their soldiers?

Delighted that this extraordinary, visceral ⁦⁦@TheRSC⁩ production will get a wider audience. It’s breathtaking. whatsonstage.com/news/rscs-titu…

@j_amesmarriott I loved reading this. Thank you.

I was brought up to regard English literature as a kind of secular religion. I never doubted that poetry and novels contained the meaning of life I wrote this about the tragedy of the subject's decline and the dawn of a world in which nobody reads newstatesman.com/culture/books/…

Times obituary for Aidan Chambers in today’s edition… ACHUKA will set up a page to collect the major online obituaries of this important author

@BBCRadio4 - a Haiku: This Cultural Life A fascinating programme Simon Russell Beale #ThisCulturalLife @JohnWilson14

I recommend this video from the former US ambassador to Denmark to every US citizen. So that they know that the citizens of this country,which their US vice president referred to as a bad ally,were putting their lives on the line for the US in Afghanistan

@ClareDChambers @adelegeras Right in the middle and hugely enjoying!

@adelegeras Thank you Adele x

Marvellous novel!

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

@neilphilipmyth I am so sorry to read this post Neil. I am glad though that you are of a mind to keep on keeping on with the writing. Warm wishes for continuing stability of health.

Friends, you may have noticed I have been very quiet on here. The reason is I have been extremely ill. What energy I can summon, I am putting into writing, trying to get as much work done as I can. One book finished, one 90% done. Still enjoying your tweets.

@adelegeras @JohannaTC @TheTimesBooks Loved it! BUT in October, must talk to you about Milo…

Easily one of the most gripping and enjoyable novels of 2024 is now in paperback! Don’t miss it! ⁦@JohannaTC⁩ ⁦⁦@TheTimesBooks⁩

My letter in today's @thetimes following yesterday's brilliant article by @MichaelBerkele2:

‘Worse than the 1980s’ – that’s the arts sector now. It’s not a good look for a Labour government | Charlotte Higgins theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@adelegeras @KathLangrish From the moment it began I sensed tears in wait. So evocative of our youth. Went with three teenage grandchildren who also loved every minute.

@KathLangrish Yes!

Hope Timothy Chalamet gets Best actor Oscar! #ACompleteUnknown is absolutely blissful. Loved every minute and will watch again when it’s streaming. Dylan has been a huge part of my life. Now my guitar - playing grandson (15) is listening to Dylan! He loved the movie too!
