Radio Tau
Morning to bloggers all, from the cooler, shady pastures of London town. I don't think today is a 2 shower day but you can never be too sure. A welcome drop in the temperature here but an increase elsewhere so maybe Aberdeen might enjoy something better than yesterday's 12C which was pathetic. Maybe we'll get to do heat oldies this summer but not just yet it would seem.
Child 3 brought his school report back yesterday - a much more relaxed affair these days. I remember bringing home a brown sealed envelope and waiting nervously for some kind of verdict. Now it seems quite chilled, the main points already known and discussed. Maybe there are schools where the pupils write their own now. I was never quite convinced my report writers actually remembered who I was. The art of generalisation perfected.
Ross Kemp will be on Drivetime tonight from 6. I've interviewed Ross many times and his TV shows and books on gangs and the military are always impressive. He's always struck me as happier talking about those programmes than any acting he might be up to. Now he has written his first novel called 'Devil to Pay' (don't you just love celebs who write novels? I'm hoping you can tolerate them for a while longer anyway). The plot revolves around former soldier Nick Kane who investigates the mysterious death of an old colleague, in search of 'the terrifying truth'. Because the 'truth' is always terrifying, otherwise we wouldn't read it. If the 'truth' was kind of interesting but a little dull, we wouldn't bother.
Oldies time! You might have noticed that despite being useless at maths and science at school I find them endlessly fascinating now. Today we learn that pi (repeat after me 3.14159265 etc) is wrong. School textbooks should, apparently, be replaced by tau which 6.28 which is 2pi. It's all about (bear with me here) the relationship between the circumference of a circle to its diameter and we've had it wrong all these years. So these dissident mathematicians have declared today Tau Day. On Radio Tau. So lets do NUMBERS please. All of them, some of them, Tau, pi and a quick hypotenuse if you fancy.
Have a beautifully logical and worked out day, see you after 5.

Terribly sorry about the torrential rain. It's all my thought you know. Went to the allotment for the first time in ages (Mr 40 (38 actually) has been taking care of it for weeks) and gave it a jolly good soaking. Had only been back a short time when the heavens opened. School run in thunder and lightning quite an interesting experience.
Paul of Shef, will your number be up come 5.05?
All drivetime commuters - do take care on those slippery when wet roads. I'm guessing that certain nameless bloggers won't be going topless on the drive home tonight ;-)
Enjoy the show.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do with the large pot of red currants I picked from the allotment?
