I had the radio on all of the time (lots of 60’s and 70’s music) as I find the mix of music is far better than having to listen to just one CD all of the time.

We live in rural New Zealand and our radio reception is terrible but I did listen to the birds, the dairy cattle being moved twice a day and our sheep baaing in the paddocks.

None. I quite like the sound of silence, however I did have the TV in the background as the boys watched their programmes (my mosaic area is still the dining table).

Carolyn - CROWDED HOUSE!! (and some Finn Brothers) I also listened to Afropop Worldwide, one of our favorite radio programs, on Saturday nights. Georges Colline, the ever-cheerful host, puts you in a great mosaic mood :)

Anna - AfroPop worldwide!

I always work with our local radio station on. It is a way I keep track of the time and keep up to date with the news of the day.  I also like listening to the latest songs in the charts. It helps me to keep up to date with the young ones.

The sound of rain on a tin roof for many days being the wet season.  TV in the background sometimes or the sound of  parrots & birds singing outside.

I have the TV on when I work. Music takes me too far away while the mindless chatter of television is like having someone else in the room to keep me company. I tend to have on sitcoms or home improvement shows. If I put on something too interesting then I’d have to sit down and watch.
