Ms Melancholy loves the shipping forecast:
"My 11 year old son and I were listening to the shipping forecast at 5am this morning. Being up before sunrise always brings out the melancholic aspect of me. I have learnt that this is a time for sadness and the darkest of thoughts. I told him that I used to listen to the World Service when he was a tiny baby, and that the shipping forecast was my favourite part of the day. Instantly soothing to me, like being swaddled tight in a blanket."

You lucky, lucky, lucky man. What I wouldn't give to be on the water right now. Have a great Easter.
