I have a feature out in Classical Music magazine today - on musicians who've changed careers. Hope it strikes a chord.

As a huge fan of both crisps and hummus I was excited to read this - but I have doubts about the methodology, @thetimes.com. Who is trying to fit even 207g of hummus onto a single crisp? A standard pot is 200g. Buffets at the Times must get messy fast

Horrible news from #Magdeburg, which doesn't deserve to become one of those places whose name is constantly associated with a terrible recent incident. I lived there for several years and have weirdly few photos of it - but here's the weird but beautiful Hundertwasserhaus in the town centre
