Tanned and gorgous
Well that was all ok in the end even if the voice sounded a little feeble to me. It was good to be at least 'giving it a go' rather than just lazing around moaning. The only trouble with going back to work is the long list of folk who feel they have to tell you how pale, ill, exhausted, wan, heavy eyed and thin you look. If I had a badge saying I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS I'd be tempted to wear it. A lot. What a great thing radio is. I had to cancel a school talk today which is a shame but I'm not sure I could have coped with 11 and 12 year olds looking at me with concern in their eyes and suggesting I should 'take it easy' or 'could they get me a glass of water?' I shall return when I am strong and vigorous.
Welcome to new bloggers and blogvets and regulars, another day of unbridled yet politely moderated conversation awaits and as Nigel is doing some BBQ chicken, let us tempt fate and do SONGS FOR THE BARBECUE which might be easier than the Higgs particle.
Have a calm and controlled Thursday, see you after 5

I'm feeling much brighter today but I think I'll pass on the choon chasing... the thought of blackened raw meat I can do without at the moment!

Re spoilers. Autumn_Gale put it very well. I rely quite a lot on TV catchup as I'm doing other stuff during the week, but we can't start making restrictions on what can be discussed on here. As long as it isn't offensive or upsetting to anyone, pretty much anything goes. Putting SPOILER ALERT at the top of a post should be enough so that those who don't want to know to avert their eyes.
Richard Armitage - yes I can see the attraction, although I wouldn't go out of my way to watch something just because he was in it. And can I throw another name into the mix - Jason Isaacs. There's something rather alluring about a good looking actor who often plays a baddie. Not keen on the long white hair though...

The University of Oxford Olympic Torch Event on Tuesday 10 July
at the Sir Roger Bannister Running Track, Iffley Road, Oxford OX4 1EQ'
'Annoying' as knowing in advance that there were 1700 other names in the pot and not expecting to get a look-in, I booked a two-nighter away at a Spa hotel, returning late Tuesday morning after all the traffic chaos has disappeared...and I'm not able to give ticket to anyone else, as it is University card (with photo) and email ticket entry only - oh and it starts at 5.45am!!
So had to give back to the organisers for someone else to be chosen...so made someone's day...
However, just learnt that I am going to the Bronze medal decider game of the Handball competition at the 'Lympic Park, so at least will be able to see the famous Orbit. Warnings about travel to the venue inspire me to start off now.....

How are the Giant Egrets doing down in the West Country? Also, have you come across the Avocets that are nesting not far from you? My sister was telling me about them a few weeks ago because her brother-in-law had first spotted them to-ing and fro-ing during the Springwatch series but the three of them kept it quiet so that their nest-building wouldn't be disturbed by birders or Springwatch, epecially Martin Hughes-Games who lives in Somerset!
Perhaps the Avocets' nest is where you have been on your bike as I know you love your birds, like we do too, especially the seabirds that are around the local islands in their thousands!! I thought of you yesterday when a large group of Eiders were out in the bay.

How often does it have to rain, and how much, before we officially have a monsoon season?

#65 Deebee . . . I never took much notice of Richard Armitage but a woman I used to work with, was a member of his fan club and send him a pair of hand-knitted socks, she got a thank your card and a mention on his fan club page. Jason Isaac's after a short deliberation I don't think I could imagine him playing a nice warm and fluffy part, too mean and moody looking.
Meanwhile, no suggestions from me today, all the good one's have been chosen, will wait and see who gets a mension later on today.

Not much more blogtime for me today - getting my workload in order to have a work-free weekend. Off tomorrow to finish off all the odds and ends or wedding preparation. Local holiday on Monday means I'll not 'see' you all again until Tuesday
*excited/nervous/apprehensive/....*
Off to the coffee machine...

#79 Sharon, isn't it good when you hear that a celebrity has done something nice like that... I would love to see Jason in a romantic role (or maybe as the next Bond?) but you're right, he does seem to favour the mean and moody type.

Busy day today, one way or another.
Before you escape home CoffeeBuzz - good luck for Sat - hope it all goes brilliantly!
My hospital app has been brought forward to next week - a cancellation apparently so that will get it over and done with a bit earlier than I thought.
Have been shopping, accompanied by RA - back to normal there then.
Mr has 2 new toys to play with - an electric garage door, so we can both open it and a new shredder as the old one tried shredding itself last week - bit of plastic cog now missing and a rather horrible noise issues forth when we try to use it!
#58 Katy I don't mind what happens with the torch - whatever is easiest!
Sal - like the rain radar map - be able to tell Mr when he can paint the next fence panel now! Did you hear "Twilight" last Fri at about 4.55 on Steve Wright's show?

And from completely left-field Steven Mackintosh
Recently in Luther and Inside Men - has something of the little boy lost about him that appeals...
Off work tomorrow, much-needed haircut *phuts fringe out of eyes* and the new Spiderman movie in the evening..
so GOOD LUCK to coffeebuzz and the mrs CB-to-be, the weather won't matter - as the sun will be shining in your memories of the day - our wedding blessing was on a foggy, cold, damp day just before Christmas (we had carols in the service!) and was glorious.
Uh-oh feel hayfever eyewatering welling up.
Our legal wedding was on the other side of La Manche - and for that, the sun really shone!
Have a LOVELY lovely day!

Sorry for going off topic (nothing new there then) but I have to say..
Oui, je regrette tous. Tous les croissants, les gateaux, le pain et especialement (sp?) les bananes rouges.
Been out on my newly mended bike. Hard hard work up the front but discovered slipstreaming Mr H made it more bearable. Rather disappointingly, I appear to have expanded beyond my lycra kit, hence regretting all that I have eaten over the last few months. BUT, I am not grumpy anymore. Too tired.
So, a rather tardy welcome to PerfectCircle, I am sure that you have found this a great place to be already, I look forward to meeting you lots over the coming blogs..
Jennie - hope all goes well with the appointment.
CBuzz - if I don't 'see' you over the next couple of days, may I add my best wishes to those sent by other bloggerfolk to you and your missus-to-be.
Jilly - glad you are feeling better
KatyM - thanks for the blog-shout - much woo-and-a-hooing back.
Finally, rather guiltily, I will be in the car on my own between 5 and 6 - one hour of uninterrupted Drivetime. Bliss.
See you later xx

#80 CoffeeBuzz, good luck with the happy day for you and yours, just remember, you don't need too much sunshine cause the photographer won't like it, too much light can be detrimental to the photo's and it's difficult for the main players not to squint. Best wishes

Also, KatyM - on phone calls from radio stations, I had a rather unexpected phone call from Radio5Live this morning - came up as 'unknown' on my phone but I had to answer it in case it was my son's school which doesn't seem to register as a particular number. Declined to take part in the programme. Feared I might say the word 'pants' on air.

He always looked skinny on TV, but when I saw him on-stage in Hamlet, he somehow managed to look even thinner! He was amazing as Hamlet though, and I still seek out things he's in on TV, although I thought the True Love thing was a bit lame.
#80 coffeeBuzz - All the very best to you and mrs coffeeBuzz-to-be, for your big day on Saturday. I have you have a fantastic time, and wishing you many more happy years to come :)
Deebee at al - I think Jason Issacs is a great actor, but he does nowt for me otherwise. But then, as I've said before, and will no doubt say again, each to their own.

Flo, I think you can find out about the Great white egrets by googling, I think there is news of at least one chick.
I haven't heard a thing about Avocets in West Somerset, although its nice to know that its being kept quiet...............
