It must have been literally half my life I fell asleep to Robin Lustig on The World Tonight followed by Book at Bedtime, Today in Parliament then Sailing By and the Shipping Forecast. A habit I picked up from my mother, this same sequence of programs (I've left out a few, I know) was broadcast every weeknight from 10pm on Radio 4 since seemingly the dawn of the time until I left the UK. I'm actually surprised I can fall asleep without hearing the Shipping Forecast now!
