Every room in the house has a radio. And all the radios are tuned to Radio 4 - there is no other radio station (unless you count 4 Extra as being another station).
Don't get me wrong, I give no air time to some things, namely; "Round Britain Quiz", "Poetry Please", "Any Answers" and frankly any programs involving phone-in's.
"Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company."
I'm an inveterate black tea drinker. Not a day goes by when a good half dozen mugs of tea get drunk. I drink just Earl Grey hot but that was well before some poncy sci-fi character made it one of his catchphrases.
Coffee I love too but much more in moderation. Once a day really, a good quality really strong black coffee helps reset the mind and recharge the body, but its tea that keeps me steady.
"A home without books is a body without soul."
One day I will have a library, a room dedicated to books and just books and a comfy chair for the reading of books. Not that a chair is needed. At the time of writing this, I have three books on the go. One in the bathroom, one in the loo and one mobile. And I'll expect to finish at least one book a week. They are a joy, a treasure and they are for keeping. The last house move forced the loss of many book and I still find myself looking for books I no longer have, books where the spine and cover are embedded into my memory.
