We are all busy here on the island, aiming for the launch of “Lovely Day Radio,” which we are hoping to broadcast to you from Jean’s Wool Shop. (Actually, it will be beamed to you via the pirate internet podcast “The Jolly Clapdarnach” which is now moored out on the Minch, under cover of leaves next to Cyril’s plane.) Jean, of course, will be the presenter with fabulous music and regular features to look forward to such as –
Regular weather and shipping forecasts,
‘Cooking with Jean,’
An exercise segment called ‘Work Out While You Knit’,
Requests will played by The Glenpuddle and Munroe First Crofters Memorial Brass Ensemble, Est 1862, featuring Annie on the trombone.
‘Rant Away’ with Emails from our listeners,
Interviews with local celebrities,
And lots more…
Flora from Social Services, together with a generous grant from the Dyslexic Amphibian Trust Fund (D.A.F.T. for short), is helping us to train Daft Uisdean as a sound engineer. Ken Wood’s kitchen appliances will be supplying the refurbished sound mixers.
We are hoping to launch “Lovely Day Radio” within the next month so stay tuned for details on how to find us.

Torquil,
What a splendid idea - may I offer another. A show called "Desert Island Dicks" - It means finding a lot of chaps called Richard or Dickie, or Ricky, or other variant of the name Richard - bring them to a pretend desert island and get them to talk abnout their life????
Try again...Oh yes, I like that, Cyril. I passed it on to Jean, as she said she just might be able to give "Desert Island Dicks" a regular three minute slot on her show. Would that do? They're busy with the show as I speak, a wee charity appeal segment called "Nobody's Child" (all will be revealed soon) and I can hear Annie practicing on her trombone. I was wondering, Cyril, do you know if Annie has ever hit a note yet, because we're having a bitty bother with her pitch?
Torquil
P.S. Don't forget to keep sending in your requests, and Jean is now accepting questions for her "Email" spot.
