It’s great for when I’m doing stuff in the kitchen. Happy to follow the instalments, but thanks for the offer! I can even set it to record on my BT box.

It’s changed its name, hasn’t it. Well, I never listen to it anyway, though I catch up on iPlayer when there’s something I want to listen to. (Not ethical, probably, but I can send you the whole thing if that’s more convenient than setting a reminder to listen each week… Tip me the wink if so.)

Fabulous. ‘Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!’ And the sampler of Seasons in the Sun. I think she lives hard by… And a good hour and a half at the New Century Sauna in King’s Cross for all over extras with talc.

Love seeing the reference to BBC Radio 7 too…wish it were still called that.

I’ll try and listen to it on the radio. I certainly intend to go to some of the Britten items at the Proms this year. The song recital at the end of July including A Charm of Lullabies and the Songs from the Chinese particularly appeals to me.

And thank you for your own nice comment.

Thanks for reminding me of Martha, etc, which I loved – and of Moonrise Kingdom which I have not yet seen and had forgotten I hadn’t seen and wanted to see it. I love Michael Haneke’s films, but can’t watch Amour yet, for personal reasons. Le Petit Nicolas sounds fun. Nice list, nice comments.

So glad you like the blog – it’s in limbo a bit during the summer holidays, but should get going again when term starts. As for contributing comments – there’s no should about it at all. Please don’t feel any obligation. Life’s so busy for everyone. I’m just so glad to know you’ve visited and enjoyed some of my ramblings! The like button is quite a bonus (words so often slip away from me nowadays – unlike former days!)

Really interesting to hear about your butterfly adventures. The Comma is a favourite of mine too. So delicate and sculptural – and I love its bouncing flight and flash of orange on the wing. The white comma on the underside of its wing looks so startling against the dark background. Beautiful!
