Today turned out to be a very much a 'stay at home' day during which I reflected on the value of reading. This morning, I decided that I wanted peaceful background music. So I switched on my Internet radio and found a channel called 'ABC Piano' which is continually broadcasting pleasant piano music of the classical variety.
