I'm having a perfect Friday night.

Dinner with the family with lots of laughter - done.

Dancing in the rain - done.

First night of the Proms - doing.

What are you looking forward in this year's Proms programme?

There’s also quite a lot of more “traditional” stuff this year (including a good dollop of British music)

I hadn't spotted that one. I knew they were commissioning women to compose but didn't know Laura Mvula was one of them.

Those are on my list, along with all the Gershwin. I wouldn't have thought they would be on your list, though.

Ah yes, I saw that one but sadly I am on childminding duties.

Are you going to them both?

I haven't bought any tickets this year. I don't have anyone to go with so I'll decide on the day of particular Proms and see if I can get a seat.

I'll be watching/recording that one. If I'm free, and not too knackered, I might try and get a Prom ticket on the night.
