I was reading AND listening to Radio 4 at the same time, and at 12:04 there was a story called "The Offing" which I was ½ taking in ..... it seemed to be set in a North-East Tyneside-ish place, and this bloke was trying to get to sleep in his tiny tent ..... when out of nowhere, a Nightingale started singing ... and carried on singing. Then, just to add to the incongruity quotient a blasted Nightjar started churring as well ! This went on for a bit, and then, even more oddly, the "man in the tent " announced that he could hear an owl calling, which there certainly wasn't. How fascinating, and not in the least surprising going by the track record of those "sound effect providers." And, if you're reading this today, 28 Aug 2019, you can listen to it yourselves as there is a repeat at 10:45 pm. And what's more, there's two more episodes over the next two days, at the same times .. 12:04 pm and 22:45 pm ..and you never know, they might bog up some more sound effects ... I'm going to try to collect the set. And now, music ..... relevant, because it has "dark" in the title, and on top of that , it's the first DCFC song I ever heard, on the car radio. I stopped the car !
