IT'S ALL UKRAINE NOW..
It looks as though those who remain will resist you until the last man, woman and child has been butchered, the entire country flattened, and Russia has emerged as the same paranoid pariah it was in Stalin's day. I guess, as in Stalin's day, nobody dares question orders given by the top dog, but it beggar's belief that none of you are privately disquieted at his seeming determination to promote World War 3.
Think on: eventually many of you could join him in facing trial for war crimes.
In the meantime, most of the world is viewing the wiping out of Ukraine by its next door neighbour as a horrific, unjustified, act of war. Oh, the Chinese are sitting it out (there's a surprise) and the barbarism of the Russian army has been nullified in Russia by State propaganda (there's a surprise) so most Russians are without a clue where their leaders are leading them: welcome to the twenty first century.
The rest I leave to writers with a bigger, but never better, audience than mine.
TELEVISION.

Currently my box watching is taken up with BBC news (mercifully free of political propaganda) and reruns of old cop shows such as Wycliffe starring Jack Shepherd, and Rizzoli and Isles starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Blissful departures from real life. Have also been looking in at the latest series of Killing Eve and Grantchester and, in both cases, have found myself wondering why. Good acting, but they are not wearing well. So, to my last moan:
THIS IS NOT A HAITCH.
IT IS AN AITCH!
So headquarters isn't haitch queue, it's aitch queue. For chrissake get your pronunciation right.

I only mention it because we have just seen Trigger Point, an ITV series in which key members of the cast dismantle terrorist bombs along with their personal relationships and, irritatingly, this letter in their own language.
Incidentally, I am now avoiding any TV series featuring bomb makers. The nerves won't stand it. I even eye Amazon boxes with suspicion, and gawd alone knows how many of them arrive here every month.
Go carefully.
Beware of unattended parcels and unusual smears on door handles.
