All right Cocker!
Hello bloggers of the Drivetime collective, a soggy and mild one here.
A few new pages for you to check out (if you haven't done so already) for our Book Club.
We'll put up all the details of our books as we decide on them and our first 'Mr Chartwell' is up and shiny. You can read the .first few pages if you fancy too.
I'm hoping that I can send a regular newsletter to everyone signed up to the bookclub which will keep everyone up to date with our ideas, what the reviews are like and future plans. I've never been in a bookclub but I love books and hope we can bring you the best ones. If you have any requests and comments, do let us know!
I now have six books waiting to be read and no chance whatsoever of finishing any of them...
So today's show feature the great Joe Cocker on his new album, that has tempted him down from the mountains where he lives. Joe after 1800.
And having done red and yellow, it's time for BLUE. Tories are having their conference this week so BLUE oldies if you have a moment...
Hoping you have a splendid Tuesday, see you at 1705

Despite the sad news about Norman Wisdom, I have to say I never really "got" him. But 95 was a fine old age to live to. Lee Evans to play him in a biopic?

Paul, I just saw your message on the other side. Sometimes the light is on, but I'm not always in. ( I leave this puter switched on.)
If you click on Book club, you will see the whereabouts of our book club reviewers. Natalie from Tiverton is my nearest out of all of those listed.
Some cracking song choices today.
Back to it....
Multi Cheerios.
MTF.xx

Been a bit distracted by work today - Hmph!!!
Anyhoo, just stooping by to say well done to all menshees yesterday. I heard Billy Pepper and MCW's mensh. I know that BP shared her mensh with some others but the GBs were chatting (I know, how dare they!) rather loudly so I missed who else. Apologoes if I missed any of you gorgeous blogpoppets.
Also, hopefully not too late to second AH's suggestion of FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS, NEIL DIAMOND - splednid choice! :)
or just to add a note of cheer to an otherwise maudlin few days of themes how's about
DON'T FEAR THE REAPER, BLUE OYSTER CULT ;)
THREE WORD TUESDAY:-
RUNNING WITH BIG-BOYS ;)
I'm definitely going to run with the big boys tonight - really regretted not doing it last week. :D
See you all later - back to the grindstone!
