    We shall have to see.

    Once again to all, my thanks.
    I fear that Alexa will be able to offer you sliced bread with deodorants - and will remember your [or her] tastes in unusual toppings!

      Ah but then she'd miss the start of it !

        If she's listening to R3 she may only get the middle bit anyway!
        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 also used streaming from Spotify via phone to Bluetooth speaker for our village Remembrance Service for the Last Post and Reveille (buglers being in short supply round here) and it worked very well.

            Just demands a bit of forward planning, that’s all - which is necessary these days anyway if one wants to listen to Radio 3 and retain one’s sanity!
            I have noticed that people never do these things on, for example, the edge of Hyde Park. Or on the corner. Always in the middle.
            Curious.

              Ah it was you in the shrubbery with the binoculars!
              "...the isle is full of noises,
              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Seagulls are frequently to be observed inland these days. My father used to refer to the seagull sounds included in the Desert Island Discs theme tune as "The BBC gulls"!
