...and the rains sloshes against the windows, welcome back to work! Welcome back to the routine! Forget the chaos at home, the housework still waiting to be done and the decorations box still waiting to be dealt with, here we go with all the delights of 2014. The return to normal is a good thing, we just need to make sure normal keeps getting better. Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn has a gloomy song called 'The Trouble With Normal (it's always getting worse)' but he's wrong! We should embrace normal. count those blessings, and be kind to everyone. (I need to stop this 'pause-for-thought' audition blog right now, very dreary).

So all the team are back after last week's warm-up and Jane Horrocks is our guest, last seen as Jean in Sunshine On Leith. Bubble in AbFAb and LV in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice are her biggest roles (though that supermarket ad as Prunella Scales sensible daughter deserves a mention!) Anyway she loved the Proclaimers movie so much she's been recording old favourite songs by Hawkwind, Joy Division and Morrissey. Hear some Jane Horrocks after 6.

And for our first bunch of oldies THAT OLD ROUTINE SOUNDS about right.

5o'clock then!
