I've recently enjoyed watching two fine full-length jazz documentaries on YouTube after finding links on Marc Myers' JazzWax: Chet Baker:The Final Days and Blue Note: A Story of Modern Jazz. What others on YouTube can you recommend?

You're probably right! In the past few days green shoots have appeared on my hedge and birds are active in a spring-like way. Sufficiently paranoid to have been looking at the Dept of Environment's flood risk map (put in your postcode). Looks quite reassuring now, but when it was first published a decade ago there was an outcry about the extent of flooding risk and a "revised" version was issued. On the original a once-in-a-hundred-years flooding of the Mersey brought the waters to within 200 yards of my front door Recent events have shown us that once in a hundred years probably means before 2020.
