She doesn’t always know what she likes, but she knows exactly what she dislikes. I regularly discover what that might be very quickly.

Yesterday I was busy making the dinner while she was savaging perennials in our garden. I had Classicfm playing on the radio, but I was largely oblivious to what was playing.

She came indoors.

“Why are you listening to this?” she accused. “You hate it!”

“Yes I do.” I agreed.

She went on. “I don’t know what a lark’s song sounds like, but I bet it’s not like that screeching rubbish!”

    I can’t stand almost everything of his I’ve heard too. Proud to be plebeian!

    I would've turned that on mistakenly thinking that "Classic FM" would be playing stuff like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles.
