@tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 Heard my 1st cuckoo on 18 March whilst on a trail run in perfect cuckoo territory - Sussex and Kent borders, and again a week later, so I wasn't going mad! A wonderful start to the day. (A swallow last week too!)

Lovely to hear Beethoven 6 on @BBCRadio3 when I got in from my run - and yes, 2nd time hearing a #cuckoo in the woods #spring has sprung!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

After hearing from @PetrocTrelawny about the health benefits of coffee on @BBCRadio3, I read the article in @guardian “morning coffee drinkers were 16% less likely to die of any cause". Yep! Coffee makes you IMMORTAL!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@KayHarker4 Oh! I had a posset only the other day!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Oh yes! It's the #boxofdelights music on @BBCRadio3 now with @MannGeorgia - the Christmas season has officially started. #HelyHutchinson

After my husband suffered a severe stroke in April, now he's finally home, all he wants to watch is anything by @ProfBrianCox @BBC even if it makes him cry - the wonders of neuroplasticity! #Science #StrokeSurvivors #NotJustTheElderly

@NikiZohdi Dark days indeed. I have @BBCRadio3 on, hoping it'll be a balm for the soul.

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@ChrisGPackham Beautiful words - a comfort in dark days.

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Did @MannGeorgia REALLY give the happy news that @BBCRadio3 this morning was a bulletin free zone? And fun times, all the pieces so far have been ones I've played or sung in - loving the selection so far! (altho now hit a snag in that I'm a cellist, not violinist!)

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Today's @Kent_cc fail. Tried to get the one-an-hour @ArrivaKent bus with my wheelchair bound husband for a medical appointment, but only space for one chair, so back we went for the car. If only we had our #bluebadge. #stillwaiting #disabilityawareness #strokesurvivor

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

What wonderful news on @BBCRadio3 just now to hear that the fabulous composer @ErrollynWallen has been made Master of the King's Music. I am honoured to know this incredible and talented composer and call her, dare I say it, a friend!
Joyous news for a change.

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@nedboulting I can't wait for @nedboulting and @millarmind - some of the best commentators, esp since this was the year hubby and I were supposed to be FINALLY following it in person on the bike until he suffered a massive stroke 😩@itvcycling awesome coverage it is!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@ErrollynWallen @kathystott @stmagnus Both of you look AMAZING! One of these days I'll get to @stmagnus !

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@Scriblit @MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 Oooh! I'm seeing @tmbg too in November after they had to cancel last year - great music, if not very R3!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 To add to the fun, there's also the old English pronunciation of "Quicks-ott" !

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

@70s80s90sKids Hartley Hare scared the bejeeezus out of me, hence not watching Pipkins!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Today for #InternationalWomensDay2024 I am inviting ALL MPs and my local MP @GregClarkMP to do something truly transformative for women and vote to decriminalise abortion. @WEP_UK

@70s80s90sKids How the hell did you know Southern (not so) Comfort was mine? Last drunk in 1993, not drunk it since... 🤢

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Gahhh, it's the Trout on @BBCRadio3 with @MannGeorgia and my washing machine has JUST joined in with its end cycle tune, almost in the same key, but *not quite*!

[Imogen B-M @imogenburman]

Loving @BBCRadio3 and @tom_mckinney today. I'm sure it's way at the top, but for the playlister challenge, the glorious and moving Ode on the Death of Mr Henry Purcell, by John Blow - may've missed it as I'm currently baking banana loaf!
