Bloomin' marvellous
How very lovely to be back and playing ELO for everybody. It had only been a few days but it felt so much more than that as I tried to remember what went where. One thing hadn't changed of course and that's my lamentable run in the quiz. I think Rebecca has fixed it in some way. She's taking lessons in quizzing I think and I need to tap into the wisdom of the blog. Of course it might just be that I'm more stupid than the rest of the team and I will bear that in mind.
And today the school run is back! Hooray! it always gets a kicking for causing the traffic congestion in the morning but I will miss it when I am not needed anymore. Sure it can be exhausting and infuriating but there are times when you get little snatches of conversation that you wouldn't have got at any other time. The forced proximity means that occasionally, just occasionally, you are party to an insight from your offspring's world that you would have missed otherwise. And that's what I'll be telling myself while fuming in today's snarl ups.
Today we welcome Ron Sexsmith to Drivetime. I've been a fan of his for a few years now and his new album 'Long Player Late Bloomer' is his best for a while. If you saw the documentary on BBC4 recently you might have been forgiven for thinking he was in a downward spiral of despondency but the album is bright, clever and full of fine melodies. Ron plays live after 6.
And our oldies:ROYAL WEDDING DAY 2-THE CLOTHES! So this is Kate's DRESS, the HATS, the MORNING SUITS and all that gubbins (the best reason for wearing morning suits is, of course, not to look a plonker in the photos 20 years later. Timeless and classic wins every time, hi-fashion makes you look like an old Top of the Pops episode).
Have an inquisitive and educational Wednesday, see you after 5.

Even though I got a face-full of herring gull as it tried to pinch my 99 (surprisingly soft impact - it must have been a thoughtful one), it was my first "day out" in over a year, and was so good. So - find a train, find a beach, and do it for yourself!

Simon, your problems with the quiz of the day, and your desire for a bit of 'wisdom of the blog'. I can help you there.
In the rather fine television show 'Pheonix Nights', the even finer Daniel Kitson, playing a character called Spencer, was a member of the clubs quiz team. Not the team of ringers, but the other lot. To help them answer a few questions, Spencer had written a few answers on his arm. When asked how he knew what the questions would be, he replied, whilst tapping the side of his nose, 'I don't, but you never know!' In one of televisions greatest bits of understated comedy, one of the answers he had written down, not dwelt upon at all in the storyline, but there on his arm nontheless, was the answer....'Yes!'
I hope this helps.

I love that we now have a contributor by the name of La Mac. Et Jean le Bon est merveillieux! Anyone heard the (I think they're French) band Nouvelle Vague? Their rendition of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is sublime, in an ironic kinda way...

I just got my angry head on seeing smoke rising over the back fence. I went marching outside to see which considerate neighbour to blame only to find it wasn't smoke, but steam.
Steam coming from the freshly splattered fields behind. Not all tales from the countryside are pleasant ones, I will divulge no further!!!
Suffice to say, have hot footed it back in and locked all doors and windows in the hope of keeping the aroma at bay!
