I like to tune into the 6.30 slot on BBC radio 4 - usually a comedy of some sort and nicely timed for relaxing after cooking and clearing up.

Then I find tonight's treat is "Meet David Sedaris".

For those of you who don't know, Sedaris is an American "humourist"...apparently.

My wife adores him. I read one of his books, I thought it was okay.

On radio 4, for me, it's got to be 'In Our Time'. It's the greatest thing that exists in the universe.

I wonder why Tamiya , Hasegawa and now Fujimi feel it is necessary to make the same injected-plastic kit on the exact same ship - the 1/350 scale Yukikaze ?

I know the Yukikaze is very famous ( the ultimate lucky ship ) - but why make the same ship for the same crowded market ?

Why can't one of them give us a decent J, K N Class ( British WW2 Destroyer ) in 1/350 scale for example ?
or if it has to be Japanese , maybe the 1920's Kamikaze Class or the late war Matsu Class Destroyer ?? -

none of which have ever been made into a 1/350 Model ..........

( Ps the Fujimi Yukikaze new tool kit - looks a pale shadow to the Tamiya )

but what do I know ?? rant over ....................

This:

Banksy's balloon girl chosen as nation's favourite artwork

Banksy's mural of a girl letting go of a heart-shaped balloon has been voted the nation's favourite artwork.

The image, which was daubed onto a London shop 15 years ago, was chosen above the likes of Constable's Hay Wain and Jack Vettriano's Singing Butler.

Some 2,000 people chose their favourite artwork from a shortlist of 20 works drawn up by arts editors and writers.

The Fighting Temeraire, by JMW Turner, and Antony Gormley's The Angel Of The North sculpture completed the top five.

Banksy, an anonymous street artist from Bristol, painted the Balloon Girl onto the wall of a printing shop in Shoreditch in 2002.

A decade later a version of the image, painted onto cardboard, sold at auction for £73,250.

Then in 2014 the original stencil mural was removed from the wall of the shop to be exhibited and then sold.

The poll, carried out by Samsung, results in full:

1 Banksy Girl with Balloon

2 John Constable The Hay Wain

3 Jack Vettriano The Singing Butler

4 JMW Turner The Fighting Temeraire

5 Antony Gormley The Angel of the North

6 LS Lowry Going to the Match

7 John William Waterhouse The Lady of Shalott

8 Peter Blake Sgt Pepper album cover

9 Hipgnosis and George Hardie Dark Side of the Moon album cover

10 George Stubbs Mares and Foals in a River Landscape

11 Thomas Gainsborough Mr and Mrs Andrews

12 John Everett Millais Ophelia

13 Andy Goldsworthy Balanced Rock Misty

14 David Hockney A Bigger Splash

15 Bridget Riley Movement in Squares

16 Anish Kapoor ArcelorMittal Orbit

17 Stik A Couple Hold Hands in the Street

18 Maggi Hambling Scallop

19 Henry Moore Reclining Figure

20 Jamie Reid Never Mind the Bollocks album cover

About as warm as Northern Europe

Temps don't get anywhere near as cold here as up there, but we have the cold air that comes up from Antarctica so it always feels colder than it is

Yesterday was actually kind of warmish for this time of year, got to about 17 or 18

would have been OK for golf but there was rain forecast and possible thunderstorms .... both happened

No golf
