Thanks for all your orders - we hope you love our olive oil as much as we do. Apologies to our customers outside Europe: at the moment we can't ship further than the EU / UK. Hopefully next year we will. SDS

Despite a fraught olive harvest in Italy (many farms had no fruit at all) we’re grateful to have managed to press any oil at all this year. So, even though it’s only 130 litres in total, the quality is really high. If you’re interested find out more here: shufradishufra.com

Deep Time, a four day festival of new music has just been announced at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket.

It’s an immense line up of performing artists and composers, and the sort of thing I’ve been craving to see in this city since I moved here 4 years ago.

Condolences to the families of the innocent concert goers, children and civilians of all ages murdered, raped or abducted in these massacres. It’s impossible not to despair.

Tech question of no interest to anyone except Finale users: did anyone ever get the clunky Rewire method to work smoothly for syncing video? Finale ditching its 'Movie Window' made NO SENSE. Must I learn Sibelius (after using Finale since v1)?

Part of Haydn’s beautiful F-Variations written in 1793 played on copy of 1795 Walter fortepiano, made by Urbano Petroselli in Umbria. Hear this concert on 2/7 at the Castle of the Knights of Malta, Magione. It should be magical in that 15th-century venue! ⁦Trasimeno Music Festival⁩
