It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Rained all night, stopped about 5 minutes ago and it's already blue skies and blazing sunshine.

14C and sunny, not much breeze.
The dog walk was relatively without incident. The pooch is a bit of a nutter, That's why I've been having back pain for over a week. He tends to want to belt over to other dogs barking like mad and recently caught me on the hop when he lunged at a passing dog and spun me off my feet landing on the road on my hip and shoulder. He's all show and doesn't really want to attack anything, just rather lively. But being a powerful sixty five pound lurcher, he can catch you out!
