The Queen's Easter audio message:
Good morning everyone.
Cloud and light breeze are forecast. Cloudy atm.
Love the Queen’s Easter message 
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone 
This poem was included at the end of the daily service on Radio 4 on Good Friday.
On the day of Good Friday my true love gave to me
His own self, upon a bare tree.
On Saturday that followed, my true love gave to me
A rest after pain, and his own self upon a bare tree.
On the first day of Easter my true love gave to me
Life, new life, rest after pain and his own self upon a bare tree.
All the days after Easter my true love gives to me
Grace for my living, joy in my giving, comfort in sorrow,
Strength for tomorrow, love without end, his risen light
New life, rest after pain, and his own self
Upon a bare tree.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning. I haven't seen the weather forecast but it's a bit breezy too so I wonder if we're going to get some rain.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Forecast is sunshine and light breeze so I’m going to weed the herb patch.
Have a good day and stay safe, all
Morning troops
Hope all are safe, well and glass half full
Nice piece El. Unaccompanied choral always hits the spot with me. Likewise Gregorian chant. Can't describe it. Goes right into your bones and soul. Ethereal.
Have a good day all

Velvet, I mentioned this a couple of days ago but if you didn't see it yesterday's Tenebrae programme is something you would like - unaccompanied choral and quite Gregorian:

BATgers and Chinese?
I'm surprised you're here to tell the tale El.
And nope

Actually Batgers were a confectionery company in East London which started in 1748 and by the early 20th century had become one of the largest makers of hams and confectionery in the country. They were eventually taken over and those Chinese figs ceased to be made in 2000.
Evening gents
Lovely music and love the Northern Lights, El.
Velvet, I know what you mean about some music touching your soul.
Moonie, have you refilled that glass yet

was fantastic EL -loved it
night yogi and moonsie summer if you are around later
Good morning everyone it's a nice bright morning. Lovely Northern Lights EL. Dad always brought Moroccan dates at Christmas not Batgers Chinese Figs, although for some reason that box looks familiar. I wonder did Batgers make crystallised ginger?
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
There was a frost when I got up at 5.30am. Sunny intervals and moderate breeze are forecast.
El, we never had those figs but mum always bought dates at Christmas.
Have a good day and stay safe.
Good morning everyone
A sunny cold start here.
Squiggle and Yogi, we also had dates at Christmas as well
I think my mother got some crystallised ginger as well but that was just for her and my father. I associate that octagonal box with Turkish Delights.
I hope everyone has a good day
Posted a few minutes ago on the Radio Times website a lengthy interview with Russell Lewis, the writer of Endeavour:

Good morning cool but sunny here, I think it’s going to be a nice day for cutting the grass
How are you all?
I’ve been doing yoga on you tube every day, and last night I cooked a meal from scratch! It’s nice to find silver linings, especially when spirits are lower. Thank goodness for the lighter days, better weather and fresh air!

Hope all are ticking over - all we can do. Can see this lasting well into summer if not beyond. Think Spain and Italy might have gone too soon even though it's a partial ease up. We'll see.
Good to see you Sweet. Bramble must be a godsend in the current situation. Another beating heart to keep you company and keep you entertained. Never seen so many new dogwalkers round here - people seem to be venturing further.
Stay strong, stay commited all and take no chances
