He just loved to live that way
I can blame the clock change but I'm not sure that quite explains the 3:50am start. Maybe I can blame the broken boiler - I'm blaming it for everything else.
Yowsah yowsah yowsah
Boiler has broken, and I can only assume that it's in cahoots with Matt's. Just because he's turned his heating on, mine has decided to break down. And just in time for the first frost of the season.
Doo-doot, doo-doot, doo-doo-da
Well then that's that and another week done (a very long one in this house). Very busy show yesterday, some Queen buzz, some Tears For Fears buzz and a very fine tagine from Nige. Then we crossed the road to the Radio Theatre for TFF In Concert and all those anthems. They certainly know how to...
You held my hand so tight
Hey. Good to see Frank Bruno yesterday. It was clear from the response we got that he still holds a place in many listener's hearts and everyone was wishing him well. He seemed very positive about his future-good luck Frank! Quieter times chez Mayo (so far), calmer waters maybe. Looking forward ...

Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
Oh right then, Monday morning here again. That was quick! Barely had the weekend started than the whole thing was over. Went to see The Party and The Death of Stalin (again) which seemed decadent in the extreme. (In between this paragraph and the next, the paramedics arrived to sort a small eme...
Maybe it's better this way
Well hey hey it's Friday already and that weekend vibe is just a few hours away now. Wardrobe is sorted, food and fizz purchased, tickets bought. Or alternatively, it's just the same old housework, plate spinning, juggling, visiting, transporting, de-fusing, shopping and then Strictly before...
There'll be no warning no alarm
So it was one year ago that we took our recording equipment to a London hotel and had that chat with The Boss.
Look into my eyes
Long debate about décolletage yesterday, possibly the first ever in Wogan House. Yesterday's confession about the disappearing wafer needed it's trajectory mapped clearly; cleavage seemed too blunt to mention straightaway so I put my faith in some 19th century French. I think it all became clear...
