BBC Radio 3 unwind is awful. Every time I’ve turned it on it’s playing some kind of weird clangy disjointed racket of a noise, the opposite of relaxing. Scala radio (Magic classical) is much better.

What time does Snerdling turn into hurkle-durkle? Asking for a friend…
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
Morning.
