Homemade heroics
Bright, sunny and cold and so the heating is on. Regardless of PTP's item on wearing jumpers around the house, when you get up to perform the morning ablutions, it is a jolly good thing if the radiators are kicking out some heat. And so they are.
Yesterday's cinematic adventures took me to see "Contagion" which is the new Stephen Soderburgh film starring Mat Damon, Kate Winslett, Lawrence Fishburn and many other top names. I soon forgot that I was sitting next to Sir David Frost who arrived at the last minute, and concentrated on the scary scenario unfolding in front of me. You can guess most of it; a new virus emerges from Hong Kong and spreads around the world while a search for the virus accelerates. So far, so familiar but it is terrifying because the science is so believable. It all makes sense. Time to live in Shetland. Just don't see it if you have a cough, you will not be welcome.
Seems most listeners enjoyed the Gazza chat yesterday. I thought he was engaging , funny and honest. We wish him well. Today we welcome Kirsty Allsopp to Drivetime. She is back on TV with a new series on craft. Needlework, sewing, embroidery, knitting, quilting-all my specialist subjects in one handy series. If you want to know how to weatherproof a scarecrow, design your own perfume or make blackberry vodka, Kirsty is your woman.
And actually CRAFT oldies will work nicely won't it? KIRSTY ALLSOPP tunes inspired by all the above (and not the housing stuff this time round). Scrapbooks, applique cushions and bunting ahoy!
Suitably enthused, have a noble and generous Wednesday. See you after 5.

In relation to Julia40 post yesterday, there was a news reader on Simons brekkie show who was a geordie ( his name escapes me) that was very similar to Matt, though Matt has me in bits when he laughs!

No caffeine yet (and an apple freshly picked from our garden does not in fact offer a good substitute 'kick') so am always amazed by you guys off on the launch pad - nought to sixty in how many seconds??!
Anything by the JAM might suit, or 'P(L) UMP IT UP' by Elvis Costello (too early for punnery?)
Looking forward to hearing Sowing the Seeds of Love, it is also one of my favourite ever albums, some of the best 'stereo' (for those that remember 78's, and are impressed by having different sounds in each ear) of it's time.
Funnily enough, when sorting out the ipods at home just last night, we realised that that album is only in our collection on cassette tape - well, did you ever, so Mr e is downloading a (legal) MP3 version as we speak. No need to high tail down to a record retailers anymore, which is a shame, in a way.
Later, après caffeine....

A quick poop by. Most of the best song choices have gone so I'll plump for
Chain Lighting - Don McLean (as in chain stitch?)
Colours - Donovan
Knights in White Satin - The Moody Blues
#72 Sorry about the job Mandy - take a positive out of the experience and get them to give you FULL feedback on your interview.
The sun is out but crispy cold today. In fact the gritter came down our road last night which wasn't a good sign.
Back to work.
Catch you later

Another couple of oldies:
Buttons and Bows - Bob Hope (or various others)
Makin' Whoopee - Esther Willams (or various others) - a whole different kind of "craft" ;)
Fixing a Hole - The Beatles
