That wasn't an opinion: it was a statement of fact. I do not listen to Radio 3 at all except possibly one special programme, probably flagged up here. Can't remember when this last happened. My Breakfast this morning was special for Sunday: saucisson sec, Comté cheese, baby gherkins, cherry tomatoes, and warm baguette. Then more warm baguette with orange marmalade. And two cups of black coffee. All washed down with the Quatuor Ébène - Beethoven's op 131. Breakfast took a bit longer to eat than the quartet lasted, so about 40 mins.
The building problems continue (still no heating in kitchen, an exploding convector heater yesterday which blew the entire power system throughout the house including the boiler upstairs so no central heating, a neighbour's amateur panto
in the evening (with all the loud boos, hisses, cheers, Look Behind Yous, Oh, No I Didn'ts, Oh Yes You Dids) and this morning the signs of a large leak in the kitchen plumbing - now boxed-in and plastered over, so delaying the decorating until after Christmas.
The good news was that when I got back from the panto I was able to check that the power switch had tripped and the power was swiftly restored. Also, op 131 has now taken over from 132 as my favourite of the late quartets. After the slower reflective sections it's mainly sunny, controlled exuberance. Food and music like this is what Breakfast should be about. Not an opinion about anything
, merely the expression of a personal preference. Other preferences widely available on all good - and bad - radio stations.

Can't compete with your haute cuisine, but I've just finished a Ginger & Lemon cake (sans creamy filling) & a veg. curry for later (while listening to Donald M & The Chapel Royal.)
