Did you know that, for obvious reasons, an alternative name for the Bergenia is 'Elephant's Ears'?

Iput Breakfast on briefly, but SMP then asked me to put a message in a bottle for people to read in the future. I think 60 years hence was mentioned.
It was very early, perhaps I dreamed it, if not it is slightly worrying . And was I supposed to post it down the loo, not being near the sea. :err:

Looking at the Breakfast playlist for this morning, it looked a typically ghastly selection. Including yet another Hungarian Dance, another Schubert Impromptu, the Barber of Seville overture again, the March from the Karelia Suite yet again, yet another Grimes sea interlude, the Shostakovich Festival Overture yet again, and yet another offering from Piazzolla (which R3 seems to think is 'trendy'). I see the programme started with Mozart's A Musical Joke, which was rather apt and perhaps should begin every R3 breakfast programme these days!

A) The utter blandness of the familiar choices (Holst's "Mars", Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" etc etc)
and
B) How I hadn't missed the programme one jot in all those weeks.
(And the same goes for "Essential" - what a piffling unimaginative adjective - Classics).O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!

We got into the car this morning, delighted to find and hear the second half of the classic performance of Renard, with Ansemet, only to be rudely awakened within a microsecond of the last triumphal chord by RC, eagerly reporting on someone's trivial tweet.
Surely a work such as this deserves at least a second or two to be digested and relished, just as much as one ending in a quiet passage?

I'm not sure whether it's just dumbing down Radio 3 or whether, by persisting, they actually dumb down their audience by eventually getting them to accept it without complaint.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
