After the wonderful distractions of the excellent Hastings Fat Tuesday Music Festival, I am now distracted by events in Ukraine, and in Russia! Whilst the news of the escalation of violence in Ukraine, not to forget the deliberate assault on a nuclear power station with Russian rockets/bombs is so very scary (BBC), the news coming out of the violent prevention of protest against the war by Russian police adds anger to the mix, notably when an older woman, Yelena Osipova, who survived the siege of Leningrad by the Nazis during WWII, is arrested for protesting against the war (Guardian with video).
My thoughts and best wishes are with the people of Ukraine...
