Currently fascinated with the BBC4 Shipping Forecast.

It’s apparently a British institution and a reliable way to lull people to sleep over there.

It reminds me of NOAA weather radio, which I still miss on the weather band radio on my first Forester – except the BBC announcers aren’t stiff and robotic like the NOAA broadcasts. In fact, the BBC voices are indeed incredibly soothing.

I still have no idea what much of the four-times-daily broadcast means, but I hope to learn – at least enough not to giggle every time I hear about the Isles of Scilly.
