This is a lovely idea. If you’re not familiar with @wombat37.bsky.social, you’ve missed out. He’s been an uplifting presence on here, and has dealt with his approaching death with extraordinary openness, honesty, bravery and humour. One of the very best on here.

Out with #sophiefromromania on a frosty morning with icy pavements. I’m treading very gingerly because I don’t want to end up in hospital on the day I’m due at hospital for a minor but to me quite significant eye operation

Breakfast on bbcradio3 to start your week. Sibelius was born on 8 December 1865, and today is Finland's annual Day of Music, so we'll treat you to Sibelius's 5th Symphony. Bach Before 7 is a great new album from Solomon's Knot and there's a Wren for the dawn chorus 📻

Two final points.
In 2019 Boris Johnson celebrated his General Election Victory with Alexander Lebedev
