Lots of us had fun last week thinking about reading in English and I promised some links.
http://www.short-stories.co.uk/
...has a giant collection of modern and classic stories by well-known and new authors. Stories are classed in genres and/or length, and there is a featured Story of the Day.
You can also click on a link to word games.
http://fiction.eserver.org/
...has novels, biographies and all sorts of goodies.
Sadly, the audiogo web service I used for buying and downloading BBC Radio programmes has closed.
You can still of course go to www.bbc.co.uk then click on Radio 4 for the very best of the spoken word. Some programmes are available as Podcasts. It's all free.
National Public Radio was a lifesaver when I lived in the USA and I am happy to say they also provide free Podcasts:

Now the sun is shining, the crocus are blooming and the bees are buzzing so I will go outside in my lovely garden!
