    Happy new year to all in this house!

    Just caught up with the New Year's Day concert from Vienna, always a great way to start the year!

    May 2015 be kind and good to Radio 3 and help the powers to be to recognise that change does not automatically equate to progress.

    May the new head be convinced that, by now, the listener knows what the internet is and how he or she can avail of it to catch up on missed programmes without being reminded on a quarter-hour basis, in between programmes, during programmes and throughout programmes of such.

    ... And if we must still be bombarded with trails here, there and everywhere, can they at least be written in good English, minus all non sequiturs and less the toxicity of frivolous flannel.

    Furthermore, may the announcers be reminded they need not shout above the applause, that their live critiques are really not required and that less is invariably more.

    Yes, smother not the music and tramp not across the dying chord because it works best when it is given the room to breathe.

    Not too much to ask, I hope!

                Good auguries to all...birds flying across in the right direction, tea-leaves clumping merrily in unthreatening patterns, little beasts behaving normally (who's normal?) and a peaceful planet refraining from scratching its armpits too vigorously..

                Oh yes, and fair pay for all poets everywhere.

                        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.

                                I have noticed a certain amount of anthropomorphic armpit-scratching on the part of the planet... maybe it doesn't read our board?
