  1. Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues

    Warm Friday greetings from the kitchen (grapefruit juice and coffee with a suggestion of porridge later). Nigel's pie hit the spot yesterday with all BBC staff lining up for their treat. It was like a scene from Oliver! with Nige playing Harry Secombe and your host as Mark Lester's Oliver. And ...

  2. Just remember that ant

    Right then. A few tasks before showtime. Child 3 has returned from his Geography field trip with enough laundry to fill a house and keep the washing machine on active service till the weekend.

  3. You're straight down the line

    Well hey. How's Wednesday with you (just to be clear, not a political question more of a weather and attitude one)? Wednesday here is an early screening (can't remember precisely) some moody, hand-wringing writing in a cafe, a Folk Awards meeting (it's that time again), child 3 returning from a...

  4. Trying to catch your heart

    Well good morning groovers. Grey ol'Tuesday here, with a hint of sunshine if we behave nicely. Always try, even if provoked to do otherwise! The thing is with interviews is to be prepared, whichever direction they turn in. Some you win, some you don't but most chats with Mr Lydon will...

  6. There's a fire between us

    Hey Friday lovers. Another week almost over with just a couple of jobs to do before relaxation, a plate of biscuits and a pot of chamomile tea served on the traditional silver salver. Job one is the film show with Jake Gyllenhaal talking about his new sci-fi thriller Life.

  7. At 57 Mt. Pleasant St

    Round about now young Nigel is planning, prepping and checking his ingredients, testing his trial runs and wondering quite how disappointed Matt will be fish. He will spice up the ingredients, wax lyrical about the accompanying wines/beers and hope to disguise the cod. 'Look!' he'll say, 'some g...

  8. You loosened the chains

    See? Just when you thought the temps were heading relentlessly to double figures and the heating was off, back cones the chill, hail, sleet etc. And there are SO many wardrobe issues today.

  9. I'm running towards nothing

    Well like you I have had an evening meal, slept, showered and breakfasted. Last night I went to see a concert, had a small glass of wine and ate two chocolate mints (what a life!). I have NOT been dancing all night, I have not raided hundreds of thousands of pounds and I am not looking striking ...

  10. J-J-J-J-J-Jive Talkin'

    And good morning to you too. What's happening at your place? My place has a selection of 80s gear strewn casually about the furniture...now if only find my 1987 Top of the Pops suit all will be well. This is not pointless nostalgia you understand, this is all support for the mighty Sara Cox who ...
