In our time

I have discovered a superb radio program.

I am often late on Thursday morning. Either taking Rachel to college or heading over to our factory to pick up things on the way in. This head meant I have been able to catch In Our Time with Melvin Bragg.
It is what the BBC do best. It covers such a range of topics that it could not be “pitched” to a generic target audience. Probably wouldn’t get made on a commercial station.

Now I have discovered that every episode made can be downloaded to be listened to at my leisure.

So from the chemical peculiarities of water to the Icelandic sagas, from meteors to Le Morte D Arthur my relaxation is sorted for quite some time.

Oh, I also discovered swype on my nexus. I was sceptical but wow it works like a dream. Will really speed up my writing and make writing fiction easier on the tablet when the need arises.
