Wine of the day

A day without wine is a day without sunshine (Pasteur). Night, love and wine counsel no half-hearted measures (Ovid). What I drank today.

I am so utterly relieved that the Ukraine Aid Bill has passed. It did appear for a while that we were all too capable of allowing our deepest values to fall away.

@ammatice I can see Armour Class 0 Bracers of defence and a ring of protection +5 at least, plus she's probably got great dexterity. Who needs metal armour???

@WagnerMetal His recordings of Missa Solemnis and Ein Alpensinfonie came top in recent Building a Library progs, and he was a close runner in Prokofiev 5.

@WagnerMetal Herbie (via his fans in the press) did love to put himself out there as the fusion of Furtwangler and Toscanini. If not vilified, his reputation in Anglo-Saxon areas at least fell from the 80s (beauty over substance), but he seems to be making a critical comeback now.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Following the still silence of those Hahn pieces and the heat of these past few days it would be great to hear some of Mompou’s Musica Callada

@Paul_McCreesh @thetimes Isn't 'fewer than one household in 10' actually zero households? To me, fewer reflects something measured in whole numbers, less than is more analogue

@WagnerMetal Barenboim had a strong Wagner 'crew' in the early 90s

@DrDavidVernon I recall a situation in 1991 at a ‘difficult’ rehearsal of a piece of his at Aldeburgh, he asked the orchestra “do you find this late 20th century music difficult?”, “yes we do” they replied. “Well you’d better get a f###ing move on you’ve only got 9 years left” Autograph below
