Showroom dummy
Another coffee house blog. Child 3 to early school stuff and a screening of 'Contagion' (for me not him) means an early start on the twinkling streets of London. I sit in what I think of as the John Peel seat as it is where I used to see him chatting with his brother many a day. It should also get me a nod from Mark Lawson, Richard Allinson and another assorted BBC notables as they wander past. There is often a moments pause while they work out whether to come in for a chat, then realise they are late and move on. Good thing too. I have a blog to write-nothing to see here.
Loads of get well messages for Rebecca who finds herself in hospital at the moment. She claims she is not avoiding another week of what she has come to see as her' biscuit tax' and the evidence backs her up. Think we'll have Part-time Pauline for most/all of this week. We miss her dour Presbyterian ways (other Scottish denominations are available).
Today we welcome Paul Gascoigne to the show. The last time I interviewed him was when his version of 'Fog On The Tyne' was out. He was mightily fed up to be up so early but when he noticed glamorous Dianne Oxberry in the studio, his eyes lit up and we were away. He was on 'This Morning' on Friday when I was reviewing the papers and they were slightly concerned at his slurred speech. But I think that's just the way Gazza speaks now and he's been drink-free since last year. You can judge for yourselves tonight after 6.
And oldies today for the announcement of the BOOKER PRIZE later today. The shortlist of books has been accused of being DUMBED DOWN and too READABLE. Imagine that! Books we might want to read, whatever next. There are Westerns, Crime books and everything. Your advice and songs for the BOOKER JUDGES all welcome.
My time at the coffee shop is up and no talent has passed (as far as I know). I've lingered too long.
Have a cheery and optimistic Tuesday, see you at 5.

Lady_stormrider - so sorry to hear your news. That must have been a terrible shock for you. I second KatyMatey's comment on yesterday's blog. I guess the only consolation is that it sounds like it happened while he was doing something he enjoyed. And although it's awful for the relatives, I think it's better to go quickly like that than to have a long drawn out illness. I hope that will be some comfort to you. Thinking of you XX

Many comiserations to Lady Stormrider and her family for their loss. I only hope that comfort can be gained from the fact that since he was on the boat, he was doing something he really enjoyed at the time.
GET WELL SOON to Rebecca, cherubs appendix whent POP when she was 5, and I did contemplate taking her back to the maternity dept to see if she was still under warrenty. Or at least thats what I always tell her :-) Hope your feeling much better soon xxx

Thank you for the well wishes for yesterday, it was a very sad day, but there were also lots of laughs and lovely memories. It was nice to spend time with family that we don't get to see very often, even though the reason for our gathering was a sad one.
Lady Stormrider - Sorry to hear of your sad news ((hugs))
Get well soon Rebecca! I sent her a tweet earlier, and she just tweeted that she is waiting to have minor surgery, so I hope all goes well with that.
I hope TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT - SPANDAU BALLET gets played, so second (or third etc) that suggestion.
My X word = Xerophthalmia which means dryness and soreness of the eyes, something I seem to be suffering with today :( I think it might be a combination of wearing eye make-up yesterday (for the first time in months!) and lots of crying.
Hope you're all having a tolerable Tuesday xx
