I wish… Too cold and windy at the moment, even for me.
I tuned into BBC Radio 1 early this morning, and was very surprised to hear Debussy’s Clair de Lune. But, listening for a while, it slowly morphed into other music. A very good ambient music show by Rob da Bank. I think I’ll rip it for future listening.

Last night whilst inspired by this post / bored / should have been revising / annoyed by the choice of music on my usual radio station, I wandered through the preset 40 radio channels on my FM radio.
on #1 there was high pitched static. on #2 there was low pitched static on #3 there was BBC Radio 2 (with static), on #3 BBC radio 4but inaudible due to - guess what - flying monkeys or do I mean static.
So I started retuning, to try to make some sense of it all. I thought I would try BBC Radio 3 first to test. I couldn’t find it audible between its published 93 - 95 MHz. I felt that it was unlikely that the BBC had allowed its stations to crash. I then tried my aerial.
It’s funny what a strange piece of wire can do.
So now I have very little flying monkeys and I can hear things again. Radio1 on #1, BBC Radio 2 on #2 and so on up to 4. BBC London on #5, and a few other things up to #12. What are the remaining 28 channels required for?
I am sorry I have hijacked your blog, but I was bored and I have liitle point in having my own since i rarely use it, so goodbye to Tom Wood’s loyal readers and those few who have just walked in off the Google Highstreet.
