Sunny, cool, cardigan expected later. Good morning and here we go with another week of fabulousness. Variety is guaranteed. I'm off to the London Palladium for a Monty Python press conference ahead of tomorrows first night and our Drivetime O2 extravaganza. We've got the easy bit I think in as much as we don't have any dancing girls in exotic underwear (as far as I'm aware. You can never tell really). I'm expecting a similar crowd to the Eagles audience with a few more knotted handkerchiefs. But for today...
Book club time with "A Man Called Ove' by Frederick Backman. Ove (pronounced Ooover) is the grumpiest man you will ever meet and thinks of himself as surrounded by idiots. Now 'surrounded by idiots' is one of the most regular three worders. There are a lot of Oves out there. The book has become a word-of-mouth best seller across Europe and is a wonderful, warm-hearted story of a guy you really would want to have living next door. Frederick will be with us from 6 and you can read a chapter here before the show starts! And to get in the mood, how about GRUMPY oldies to be a soundtrack for the afternoon.
Yes please and thank you.
