I'm chilling out to Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown (trumpet).

I love Ella and I love Billie but of the great jazz-singing threesome it's Sassy Sarah first every time for me.

I'm listening to an audio book wearing headphones whilst knitting. It's called The Black Frock by Deborah Moggach. She also wrote The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Any Questions

LadyGracie I highly recommend The Carer by Deborah Moggarch.
An easy going, really enjoyable read.
Just right for sitting in the garden with this time of year 📚 🌞 🪴

Listening to my favourite 60’s music on Spotify, and having a boogie around the kitchen!

Birds in the garden with the odd lawnmower in the distance.

Alexa is playing Queen.

I have Amazon music and have compiled several play list all classical music. I can just ask Alexa to play one of the playlists and she does so . I hav Alexa enabled devices in most rooms so my music is portable as are the Kindle books she reads to me . I have one exception to my only classical lists and that is the Proclaimers singing " Five Thousand Miles " . I just love their Fife accents especially the line which goes " And when I'm havering I'm havering to you " This translater means when I am talking rubbish.

Thank you Fanny I'll look out for The Carer. I finished The Black Frock, I enjoyed it very much.

Sam Neil reading his autobiography Did I Ever Tell You This? He seems to be a nice man and it’s a gentle listen.

I'm pleased to learn what "havering" means, Floradora. We used to sing "Five Hundred Miles" in our rock choir and I never knew what it meant.

Usually Classic FM, although I'm also a Tony Blackburn "Sounds of the Sixties" fan, and tune in every Saturday morning. Also use autobiographical audiobooks to ease me gently into sleep every night. Currently have Celia Imrie's "Happy Hoofer" lined up. Most entertaining, and a pleasant voice too.

I’m on a Bach run.
Widerstehe doch der Sunde. I have 3 or 4 versions on Spotify. Andreas Scholle is winning today!
