Women and children first...
And good morning to you bloggers all on this fine Monday morning. Some may be off already, others carry on relentlessly. Some may be already eating hot cross buns and chocolate bunnies but here on Drivetime we will stick to our Lenten schedule of carrying on. Until next week, obviously when we will rest briefly.
Ours was a weekend of coughs, home made pizza and the relentless tyranny of writing a thousand words a day for book2. No relaxation or enjoyment is allowed until the word count monster has been satisfied. And it never seems satisfied, it always comes up with reasons why you're a slacker and a lightweight . Today I will copy and paste War and Peace into the document just to see it digest 561,093 words. It might even be impressed for a moment.
Today we gather round the R2 Bookclub table and talk about The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan. It's not a Titanic book at all but is a debut novel about surviving at sea and then surviving in court. Grace Winter is newly-wed but newly-capsized too and finds herself adrift in an overcrowded lifeboat. When she returns, she faces trial for murder. Apparently this was commonplace; survivors of shipwrecks would be tried for their actions at sea but Grace Winter is a terrific fighter and survivor. You can read some of The Lifeboat here, then listen to Charlotte after 6, followed by the webchat.
And really I think LIFEBOAT oldies would be only fair. Songs for the Lifeboat please in the normal manner, thankyou.
Have a sparkly and memorable Monday. See you after 5

Should have remembered this morning that it's now school holidays, and therefore no school run for our esteemed leader. So the blogs are likely to be appearing earlier in the day for this week.
Did I ever tell you my lifeboat story? We nearly had to call them out to our boat once as we were stuck on a sandbank in a falling tide, with a dodgy engine and quite strong winds that could have knocked the boat over. I was tweeting at the time, and felt a bit guilty as a few people got quite worried about us. We managed to get the boat off the sand though, which saved Mr B's embarrassment as much as anything - he'd never have lived it down in the sailing community if we'd had to be rescued!

We also took a wheelbarrow-full of weed out of the pond as most of the fish were stranded on one side. Only the little ones could get to the water on the other side! Now they can do circuits to their hearts content. We managed to rescue a dozen newts as well which came out with the weed.

Would love to have my DNA tested for locality of origin - having said that, after the news I had this weekend, am a bit afeared to dig too deeply amongst the ancestry. Could be a right can of worms.

Our glorious leader is on at 2pm with guests live from Nashville (or is Simon in Nashville - bit far to send him for an hour, perhaps!)
AND Richard Allinson is with Sir Terry at 4 o'clock.
CE isn't on til 6 but he's doing a show from "a venue in Central London" so perhaps he'll be busy with rehearsals and not butting in to everyone else's hour.

#95 I've been looking out for them too, Dougal - no luck so far.
Dougal (again) - are you on Twitter or FB? Is there any way I can get in touch with you away from the blog? It may be to your advantage... ;o)
