I find these portable music devices annoying. Dog thinks vinyl albums are frisbees, just last week the best of Des o'connor was shattered by a great dane's insistence that I throw the damn thing that he might fetch. - he doesn't take refusals well

A small compromise for the luxury of keeping your socks and sandals on, not having to don stout walking shoes and listening to music out loud on your wind up gramophone . You stay dry, the dog stays dry and if you really must have some fresh air you might open the window a fraction

The answer is to tie your shoes with your earbuds. Downside: music sounds dreadful through laces and you'll never get your shoes off again

I look forward to chatting
I refuse to enter lavatorial debate arising from your trip to Santorini
Goodnight, sleep well

Ah, but I would miss the peace an serenity of walking in the countryside (and I do sing when there's no-one anywhere near!)

That's it...but I'd have to sing then...
