Year Of The Cat

Good morning blog dwellers, here we are with a Tuesday to navigate and only biscuits and coffee for company. More rain yesterday than I've seen since August and all day. That was why Rainy Days and Mondays by the Carpenters was such a top choice yesterday, even if it wasn't raining where you were. A rarely heard tune!

I'm writing this on a train to Cambridge. I have resorted to the first porridge of the season as a healthier start than biscuits and a good call. Compote and granola might have masses of sugar but because it's disguised as health, it actually doesn't count. Hooray for logic.

Today we welcome Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens to Drivetime (on my copy of the disc it says Yusuf/Cat Stevens so I thing the whole slash thing is ok). When I first started interviewing him he was unsure about returning to music but clearly that is all in the past as he's been making records for a few years now. And this one is quite bluesy! He has such a recognisable voice which has been such a big part of so many lives, it's good to have him back

And as today sees the return of The Apprentice (1-massively successful, 2-chock full of people you would hate to be alone with) it's APPRENTICE songs please. Or you'll be fired. Obvs.
