coolest thing ever

yyyyyyy765052.jpg
My Roberts Gemini-10 digi­tal radio arri­ved in the mail today. It is the most won­der­ful little box of high-quality retro joy. I love it.
That’s real leather it’s cove­red with, and the digi­tal sound qua­lity is ousts­tan­ding. Com­ple­tely static-free.
One of the advan­ta­ges of living in the UK is the BBC. They really have utterly fabu­lous radio, espe­cially if you like clas­si­cal music.

    I have an ana­lo­gue Roberts radio and it’s lovely. It brings Radio 4 to me in Ams­ter­dam. I don’t know how I sur­vi­ved without kno­wing that for­mer shot put cham­pion and title hol­der of World’s Stron­gest Man Geoff Capes is also a renow­ned bree­der of bud­ge­ri­gars.
    Indispensable.
