On Friday morning I posted here about BBC Four's Prom concert in the evening which was a performance of Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.
I recorded it and attempted to watch it last evening. What they did with it might have entertained those who were looking for some light frivolous entertainment. I was unimpressed. I was expecting something very different.

It’s awful when you are looking forward to something and they go and spoil it 
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros 
Hug for the night owls
night yogi summer moons if you pop in
Good morning everyone it's an overcast morning after an extremely cold night. They did forecast a few cold nights but I was still surprised at how cold!
Enjoy your day everyone

It seems that the Aurora Orchestra seem to do the same things with their other performances so they are something for me to avoid in future. The music itself was OK, it was all the other stuff which didn't work for me.
Good morning all
Cloudy and cool start to the day.
Got some errands to do today. Have a good day, everyone.
Good morning how are you all? What have I missed?!
I’m fresh back from a fabulous yoga retreat in the Lake District, it’s been amazing 
Not many people would abseil down the Eagle tower in Cheltenham, but even fewer at the age of 90:

One of the tallest, possibly the tallest, building in Cheltenham. Used to be occupied by Eagle Star. Many years ago when a new gigantic computer was installed, the top of the tower had to be opened up and large cranes used to lift the computer to the top and then lowered down inside. That was the only possible way. I'm refererring to huge mainframe computers, not personal ones.
The only county in England not to have a McDonald's may be about to get one:

Many of the county's inhabitants (just under 40,000) aren't happy.
No prizes for guessing which county

Ros, I hope choir went well tonight.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone
Hug for the night owls
night yogi choir went well - we are singing war songs aka vera Lynn at a coffee morning as a one off on Saturday morning to raise money for the church (not the main church! where I practise with choir 1) thank you yogi summer moons if you pop in
Good morning everyone it's a little brighter this morning. The forecast for the week ahead is sunshine all the way. I hope they're right.
I hope your day of errands went well Yogi. That's an interesting choice Ros Vera Lynn songs. Should go down well at the coffee morning.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Sunny here, cool at present though will warm up.
Last evening for about half an hour around 10 pm here I could hear the sound of a WW2 air raid siren coming from somewhere. Nothing on the local or national news about this. I suspect it was coming from the university campus not far away. Yesterday was the first day of the induction week for the new students so I think someone was playing tricks on them.
I hope everyone has a good day

Won't go down well with those who are without internet so can't get on the BBC website.
Re smart meters - the installation deadline has been deferred by 4 years until 2024 due to the delays and problems:

Amongst other ideas for electric cars needing to make sounds for safety reasons, Nissan has trialled a warning system called Canto that adds a choral element to the engine's whirr. So if you hear a moving car singing it could be that:

hate electric cars - so dangerous - there are a few near us and they are silent - so worrying - would have one if they made some sort of noise

Good morning everyone.
Cloudy with a forecast of breeze later.
I agree El and Ros about the silent electric cars, they need to find a way of making some noise.
Off to get my haircut this morning.
Have a good day, all
