Cheesecloth revival
You know when everyone is browner than you? That moment when you're standing next to colleagues who are fresher and more relaxed than you are? And even though you've had a holiday, it really doesn't feel like it. And Christmas is a long way away? Well that was me yesterday. Matt and Rebecca look chilled and at one with the world, the rest of us look frazzled and crazed. But it is still good to have the team back and raring to go. Or something like that.
Lovely September is looking mighty fine here, a warm autumn is a thing to cherish. We are grateful for every decent day and relish every degree of heat. We know the thick jumpers will be back soon but for now let's sit outside. Picnic, bbq, wear thin cotton items,stroll, swim. Leaf kicking is just around the corner.
Today we welcome Deacon Blue to Drivetime. They have a new album out called The Hipsters and it is their first since 2001. Ricky Ross has been very busy songwriting for the great and good but now the band are back and the single sounds great. They perform at the Elton John piano tonight!
And RESHUFFLE oldies please. CHANGING THINGS AROUND that kind of thing as the PM rearranges his team. Oldies on shuffle.
Have a sparkling, clear-sighted Tuesday. See you after 5

#68 Shona... it's usually your texts/uncle Tony etc we hear, so it makes a change for mine to be read out ;o) Not having heard anything about McIntosh-Ross since seeing them a couple of years ago, or the three girls of 'God Help the Girl', from Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian's project, it's good to hear that Ricky and Lorraine might resurrect their McIntosh-Ross duo and that Stuart's making his film.

Hospital visit went well - all good news, so that's a relief.
One more issue to sort out and I'll be fit as a fiddle - well, a fiddle with a few mobility programmes but otherwise................. could be a great deal worse.
I'm glad bloggers did well tonight - and texters too!
Have great evenings all

Really pleased to hear your news Jennie.
Well done all mentionees. Great text Flo; the Usher Hall gig must have been great. Neil Hannon is always fantastic live.
Good show tonight. Deacon Blue splendid as Simon said, funny them joining in with the homework. Confessions never the same without Matt's often unique take on events!
In gig news I just got tickets to see The Proclaimers in December. Thing I miss most since moving to "the middle of nowhere" is how few gigs I get to these days.
Well done to Murray last night!

Mo, we are going to the O2 ATP on the 6th Nov.
It is a beautiful morning here. We may be only 13 miles from Cambridge, but you can only get to our hamlet on single track roads, and sometimes it feels like 'the middle of nowhere' and that's how I like it! ;-)

It could also be the Paralympic/Olympic effect - both have had good weather. Perhaps we could do it every year and guarantee good weather every year ;0)
#70 - mobility 'programmes' ?? should read 'problems'! I was obviously tired after long walks around the hospital yesterday! Note to self - must read back before posting!!

Anywho, yes, so, here are some SOUTHWOLD PIER pics

No new blog yet? Don't worry, me posting this will probably guarantee its arrival...
Jennie, glad to hear of your good news.
Amelia, you will love the Proclaimers - they do a great live show, very energetic. Their greatest hits album is often on in our house at the moment - we also have a copy of it on the boat.
Lovely pics Suzieeeee - Southwold is one of my very favourite places in the UK.
I don't live in the middle of nowhere - I'm in a village, with lots of country walks nearby but only 10 miles from Cambridge and only an hour into London. The only downside is that I'd love to be nearer to the sea...

#66 - Well spotted Amelia - it was me with my 'half price suncream' (was also me last week with the 'sprained not broken' son's ankle.
#77 - I saw The Proclaimers at the Wickham Festival last month. They are terrific value for money, as you get no witty banter (KT Tunstall was also on and could do stand-up) - just one hit after another - enjoy.

We do get some 'names' at the Cliffs Pavillion in Southend, but you have to be quick off the mark to get any tickets.

Nice and sunny here today but a distinct slight chill in the air. Suzieeee, I love your pics.... did you take any of the beach huts from the other side?
Re where do we all live, I am surrounded on three sides by golden wheat fields, and a stable and 'green' fields with 14 horses and ponies over the side wall and I can be on the beach in two minutes (by car), so the best of both worlds!
