As regular Radio4 listener, I'm thoroughly enjoying not having to hear The Archers theme in the afternoon. I hope this is the new normal.

I have had lunch.

Blue recycling wheelie bin has been put out ready for emptying in the morning. I have also put out my black bag. I think it's been about seven weeks since I last put out a black bag, and it's only half full at that.

Is it no longer on? I stopped listening to R4 less than week into lock down, I couldn't listen to Today anymore without considering self harm

Can't remember the last time I listened to R4...

I'm a 5 Live / 5 Live Sports Extra kind of gal.

only in the evenings, which is good because it reminds me that the woeful drivetime slot on 6music has ended and Mark Riley's show is about to start
