The tension is ended, the sentence suspended
Well it wasn’t a catastrophe anyway. The speech I had to make at child 3’s school last night seemed to go ok. No one walked out, heckled or threw anything. I never got round to my juggling and card tricks but maybe next time... Well today looks interesting. Anyone who was anywhere in the 70s...
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
I have a speech to give tonight. I have no idea why I agreed to this. It’s at child 3’s school and I have to hasten there after tonight’s show. The whole point about radio of course is that you cant see who you’re talking to, so standing up in front of eminent and learned parents WHO ARE LOOKIN...
Make a dream come true
I know we most of us have our morning routines. Breakfast, gym, running, kids, school run, paperwork, teas, coffees etc. This applies to radio too but this morning I have a CD playing at 6am. This is weird behavior here but there are mellow sounds playing from our kitchen and it sounds good...
She ain’t no witch
Right then lets get to it. Early chat needed with top director Paul Thomas Anderson whose Phantom Thread movie has six Oscar nominations. This is the film that its male star Daniel Day Lewis says is his last before retirement.
He said Delores
Hey hey (as they said in The Monkees). People say we monkey around (two different spellings acknowledged). They were good, The Monkees. To us school kids it was about as zany as life became, although the Banana Splits were a close second.
But only on Saturdays
Enjoyed the chat with Rhod Gilbert yesterday, see that documentary on BBC1 Wales if you can. When he came in Rhod said we seemed to be wearing exactly the same clothes as we were when he came in in 2012. This is entirely possible and photographic evidence seems to back him up.
Hush hush eye to eye
Oh hey. A dark Tuesday here but not freezing, no power cuts and no gales. Plus the coffee is good, the house is quiet and I’ve done my work. The day is young but that’s a positive place to start the day (#optimism #keepingcalmcarryingon)
Faith hope and charity
A friend suggested one way of finding better sleep patterns was to rub some kind of fragrant oils on my feet. It might be a coincidence of course but after the worst night in memory I might return to the hot cocoa (or do I mean cold wine?).
Feet start to pound
Excellent bake yesterday from Nigel, good flavours. You know when you can still taste a good meal the next day (in a good way)? Well, that. And the veggie chorizo was quite something. Ignore what Matt said, he loved it really.
Paint your face up in the sky
Wow that was a rattly old night. Haven’t looked outside just yet but I’m assuming all the bins, recycling tubs and garden waste bags in the road, along with their contents, are scattered liberally across the cars and hedges. Time to check the contents of everyone’s bins as we go on a clear up (‘...
