The routine kicks in.
Well that's that then. First show back, especially after a break of 3 weeks, always requires a tad more concentration than normal. Which jingle goes where? What happens now? When do we finish? A little ring rusty maybe but we all emerged more or less intact I think. Matt looks tanned and relaxed, Rebecca poised and dignified, Sally is calm and, when not in the wimple, a model of loveliness. All the team sounding good together I thought. And I didn't sound too baffled by any of the tunes either...
I enjoyed the chat with Mark Billingham too. His Thorne books are really taking off now and I think this is a great new addition to his range. If he ever gets round to writing 'Daisys Buttercups and the Sweet Sweet Cottage', you can be sure it'll be a fine addition to the series. The truth about my quiz question last night is that I'd forgotten I needed one. At the last moment, I realised what was happening and a Mark B question was all I could think of. The fact that it was rather a successful ruse is making me think I should do that more often. I'm also a fan of Matt tweeting his answer first; this way we can all catch up with him. Keep going Matt!
So here we are in a strange part of the year (at least in England and Wales) where the hols are over, the work has resumed but the kids are still idling. School is still far away enough for them not to be too bothered and so 'hanging around the house and just relaxing' is still very much the name of the game. We are expected to fill their days with excitement and challenges but really that's a first-few-weeks-of-the-holiday state of mind. I'm in a back-to-school mood so roll on September. There's always some ironing you can have a go with if you're that bored.
Tunes today on the subject of SHOWING OFF. This is a Big Brother related idea really. I have a physical repulsion to the show and dread its reappearance and this celebrity version seems to be following the well worn path. SHOWING OFF in front of your friends was always something my grandmother would chastise me for (as if!) but that seems to be precisely what BB is for. So let us join the party (though one of dwindling numbers if the BB viewing figures are to be believed) and find tunes with SHOWING OFF as a theme/idea/inspiration.
Suzi Quatro is with us after 6, another top confession, Quiz of the Day (remember a question this time) and more tickets for our Hyde Park gig on the 11th of September.
Have an energised and creative Tuesday, see you after 5.

Thank you for my mention for Road block yesterday and well done also to Zoe and Il Divo and everyone else for their tunes.
I am so glad blog is up now as need some light heartedness as I have to clear some review points to get the Pension Scheme accounts out of the door for the Aston University Scheme which am finding draining because I have to research derivatives...where's Nick Leeson when you need him!!! lol.
I auditioned for BB in 2006 and to my relief fell at 1st hurdle...obviously not crazy enough....maybe if I'd have told my Bryan Adams story they would have let me in!!!! Glad I never though!
I have been watching it but I think my TV is allergic to it as it keeps freezing so does not record for me to watch later!!

The rain seems to be holding off here so far.... The farmers are definitely expecting it, if the activity is anything to go by. Tractors and combines have been trundling by throughout the night, so I am guessing that they are up against a deadline to get their harvest in.
Showing off songs, hmmmm!
How about 'Leader of the Gang' - Gary Glitter? Or maybe not!

#20 - MTF, I'll follow up your three worder with:-
Jam, jam, jam.
Only the second time I have ever made Jam. Last year it was just Apple (and yummy it was too, even if I say so myself). This weekend, it was plum and apple. May have over done it a tad with the sugar (scary how much of it goes into Jam) but in my defense, I was only following the recipe. Next time, more fruit less sugar, lesson learnt.
Another rugby weekend where the U10's had a cracking game. Well done lads.
