It's day 1 of #AudioMo! This one is short enough I can include the full transcript here. I'll be posting (hopefully at least daily) under this hashtag until July. Where the transcript is too long it's always in the ID3 tags of the audio itself.

[Gentle birdsong proceeds the closing of a door]
Good evening, Audio Mo. Welcome to the first of the month and the first of my recordings for this delightful thirty days or so of nonsense that I'll be spouting.
[Clicks of wall outlet switches.]
I am just standing in my home office and I'm about to turn on all the power for everything which has been
turned off for the week I've been on holiday.
[The famous Apple startup sound plays in the background]
That's the MacBook coming back to life. Other
plugs I need to turn on are over here and over here. Lovely. And I need to power up
the hard drive here. Brilliant. That means that the work laptop is ready. Yes, it has
a headset in it. Keyboard for phone control is there. Let's have a look.
[Keypresses.]
Yes, three flashing
lights means fully charged. Excellent. So the week holiday was spent in Rhodes, on Rhodes
I suppose, it's an island. And it was a lovely week. I had a very good time. I'll tell you
more about it in subsequent audio posts, of course. That hard drive doesn't sound very
healthy does it? And we'll also spend some time this Audio Mo talking about what's changed
since last year, of course. What's got better, what's got worse, what's different, what's
the same. And then we'll throw in a few surprises along the way,
[a light switch is turned off]
including some cookery.
[a door is opened]
Poetry. And all the other exciting things we can think of.
[the door is closed and we are now back in the garden]
So, enjoy day one. I've certainly enjoyed
some of the introductory posts that I've come across and other people's responses and things.
I look forward to flavouring your months with me over the next four weeks.
