Maurice Seddon and Ventimiglia

Captain Maurice Seddon describes acquiring another deep-freeze which will take its place amongst the other deep-freezes in his garden providing storage space for food for himself and his numerous dogs. Some of the food is years past its sell-by date but this does not deter Maurice from consuming it. I relate an incident in a restaurant in Ventimiglia, Italy, when a diner at the next table vomited profusely on to the floor. The programme finishes with a track from Soni Sclavus, a new CD by Israel Quellet; les bouffisures, les croupissures – pour voix, percussions, orgue, sons divers (things that bloat, things that stagnate – for voice, percussion, organ and miscellaneous sound).
