How can it be

Very little sleep, very long day. I shall probably nod off during the news at 3 and hope no one notices. Webcam viewers don't count, obviously (don't watch, it won't be pretty). The guests are good-Dame Judi Dench and Eddie Izzard talking Victoria and Abdul. They're good company and clearly enjoy hanging out together, if I choose to record their chat than so much the better.

Then a few cardiovascular exercises, a run around the block and a healthy energy drink before the ARF kicks off with 1986 as our selected year of tunage. The GCSE replaced the O Level and CSE, Casualty was the all-new hospital drama to watch and Neighbors was the Australian import of the year. Jason and Kylie were about to launch their takeover of the old country.At the movies There's Stand By Me, Crocodile Dundee and Top Gun.

And on the radio, your choice of an '86 toe tapper (not that we spoke like that back then)
