Tip top
Wow busy blog again. Springtime has clearly brought a surge in energy levels. The vigorous discussion about holiday deps I'm sure will be of interest to all important BBC people who decide these things. I'm sure they read the blog religiously anyway but just in case they don't, memos will be sent.
Enjoyed having Tony Blackburn on the show yesterday. To retain that enthusiasm after all these years is quite something. I thought his jungle-based musings were fascinating and he does seem a calm, thoughtful chap these days. He had a good old reminisce with Steve Wright in Sally's office beforehand-we should have recorded that too!
(Today's blog music is the new Steve Miller Band album 'Let Your Hair Down' a very bluesy start to the day)
Today we welcome Fern Britton to Drivetime. She's written a novel! It's called "New Beginnings" and is about a journalist and single mother who becomes a Daytime TV star. It's about the work/life balance really and they say write about what you know so Fern has done just that.
Tunes ladies and gentlemen of the blog on the theme of HATS. Haven't done them for ages and apparently, all stylish heads at Fashion Week were sporting a smart, structured hat. It's the old fashioned felt fedora that's grabbing attention this year (I'm certainly wearing mine this season) but let's do HATS and head coverings of all shapes and sizes today. Thanks.
Have an enthusiastic and optimistic Wednesday, see you after 5.
(and get well soon Bob Harrris. Detached retina apparently. Take it easy sir.)

There are some great films of them live on Youtube. Especially one shot on a mobile phone of Fammily Life which is the saddest song I know..."Jesus - you wipe the tears from her face, and the sound of his voice." Blimey. Better get the kettle on.

Blimey O'Riley, that's been a mega catch up sesh and I'm still not done yet - have a few still to read from yesterday and haven't done any catching up from today. Will get back in a bit, just got a couple of bits to do first.
In the meantime, I'd like to say thank you to KatyM for the lovely Irish hat - wearing at a jaunty angle whilst shaking my shillelagh rhythmically.
Also, huge thank you to the NNYM and Simon for the mensh :) Quite made my day. Good choice Deevskaya :)
Mrs Moog, I'm so pleased you've got the respite sorted for your twins - it just seems grossly unfair that you have had such a struggle to get there in the end. The son of a friend is dyslexic and she fought all the way through primary and secondary school to get the help he needed, paying a fortune for extra lessons after school. He eventually got a laptop the week before his GCSEs which, although much appreciated, it was a bit late in the day really. The main thing that went against them was that he was a well-behaved boy who didn't disrupt the class.
rightio, off back to the grindstone - looking forward to catching up - yesterday's blog was fascinating - i love the exchanges between HarrytS and B&B.
Oh yeah and a song choice - it has to be:-
WIG - B52s

Btw, from yesterday's blog and fyi, I'm 5'6". the other day, a couple of friends and I were discussing the height of our children and discovered that 5'4" is average height for girlies. I was happy to note that I'm slightly above average on the height front. Bit like you MTF (or is that MTM?), some days I feel as tall as can be and other days I feel as teeny weeny as a teeny weeny thing :)
