Well, well here we are again and that drought is really getting out of hand now. Back to work with rivers of precipitation washing the roads clean and clearing the way so helpfully. Hope your week has been splendid and lovely. It was an interesting few days! A Sunday of getting frozen and sodden by the river (and then came the boats to make it all ok), a Monday of being the voice of god on TV (and a Buckingham Palace party with Macca, Tom Hanks, Robbie and assorted royals to make that ok) followed by a few days of Suffolk chips and ale. So that was ok (as was the appearance of Julia40 at the Itch chat in Blythburgh!). I have no idea what's been happening in R2 world but trust all has been well on DT and all the team are all geared up for today.
It is of course true that some will have half an ear on the England/France match which kicks off at 5 and we will have Matt to fill that role for us. So you don't have to. We do have a splendid book for our book club. It's Gold by Chris Cleave and tells the story of Zoe Castle and Kate Meadows who are the world's top two sprint cyclists as they build to the London games. But, it won't surprise you to learn, it's not really about cycling or sport but family, illness, rivalry and relationships. And a great read too, check out a chapter while you're here. Then Chris will be with us from 6.
And oldies please on the subject of FORGETFULNESS. This is, of course, because David Cameron and his wife, Samantha, left their eight-year-old daughter, Nancy, in a pub after having Sunday lunch there a couple of months ago. She is reported to have spent about 15 minutes at the Plough Inn at Cadsden in Buckinghamshire, before Mr Cameron returned to collect her. It is easily done of course. Many of you will have been forgotten or done the forgetting (admittedly without a security team to help count heads) so songs of forgetfulness will work well.
So have a chillaxed and mellow Monday, see you after 5. Yay we are back!
