Not sure if it's the exact info you're after, but looking at archived issues of The Guardian might help- it seems they printed (partial?) programmes

I know you mean that from a good place, but please let’s skip the whole ‘maybe Russians don’t know what’s really happening’ and ‘oh what they even can do now’ bit. We’ve seen them cheering when Russia annexed Crimea . I know they are capable of using vpn when they need to. It’s been

Russians trying to play innocent victims now with the ‘why everybody hаte Russians this is not normal’ after everything Russia has done to Ukrainians is the epitome of sleezy disgusting out of touch hypocrisy bordering on psychopathy.

That time of year again! Someone brought me some ducklings, but they were too young for me to be able to appropriately care for so they've been passed onto a friend who has an incubator. In return I've got some very opinionated teenaged pigeons 😂

Surgery on the ankle went okay! Had bone chiselled away (surgeon's words), hopefully the joint will move a bit better now and reduce my limp/the problems in surrounding joints due to the limited range of motion

I've been told that these little wooden shapes used to decorate the Christmas market are called a "Павук", meaning "spider". It's been interesting to see the shift towards more Western-like Christmas traditions since the start of the full scale invasion.
