      Quite easily when the systems aren't all up and running and the ears are allergy clogged...

        Following the finale of Schubert's String Quintet with boogie-woogie (however good) marked a new low in this programme for me this morning, I'm afraid. What a random assortment this 'show' has become!

              I wonder if the singer can hit high C's though.

                Probably avoid them in the current prevailing winds, if the end of the Azores race (premature for some, sheltering in Brest with damaged sails) is anything to go by.

                  This morning Georgia told us that she had had a wonderful time seeing 'Tchaikovsky's Boris Godunov at the Royal Albert H....er the Royal Opera House' last night. The immediate correction of the venue made the failure to correct the composer seem even more egregious. Are these all really just slips of the tongue? If so, I would have to doubt her abilities as a broadcaster. Or did she in fact sit through the whole of Boris Godunov labouring under the impression that it was by Tchaikovsky? That would be even more worrying.

                    I didn't hear very much of this morning's programme, but she did seem a bit distracted.

                      There has been an unhealthy obsession with children’s TV theme tunes this week, which reached hysterical fever-pitch today.
                      I’m hoping that calm will be restored with the return of Petroc Trelawny next week.

                          What you mean 'Play School' and 'Jackanory'.

                            I was delighted to discover this morning that my Classic iPod works fine in our new car (replacement newer model after the previous one got written off in a crash on New Year's Day), so we now have the option of our own choice of music on its first long outing soon (yes, we really do use the car that little that it hadn't been worth investigating till now!) instead of Breakfast and Sunday. Kia must have updated their software.

                              excellent news.( Connectivity in cars is a tricky area to be sure.)

                              Although I do quite enjoy Dr Walker’s show on a Sunday morning.

                              My current motor is due for replacement in the autumn, my preferred replacement offers a CD player as an option at £100. And, as it goes, a spare wheel for £150. I’m aiming to order both !!
