Well that's that then. The last school run ever is complete and I have retired. The 'empty nest' is a long way away, in fact it's never been fuller, but it marks the end of sixteen years of cheerful pre-school banter, angry silences, moody door-slams, story tapes/cds, cheery singalongs, radio station selection battles, moronic drivers, kamikaze cyclists, friendly teachers faces and the occasional insight into the minds of school children. And I probably will never hear Radio 1 again. It's a ritual of course and I certainly insisted my dad listen to Tony Blackburn, but that would appear to be that. Child 3 has public transport to look forward too from now on, so it may well be that there's the odd desperate 'Dad there's a strike!' based plea but until then...adieu rabbit run.
And apologies for the blog yesterday. Much head banging here over the 'technical problem' which meant no posting happened. We screamed and yelled on your behalf. Of course it won't happen again!
Today we welcome Lenny Henry to the show again. What a fine actor he is now with rave reviews for his lead role in Fences which is a Pullitzer prize -winning play by August Wilson, set in Pittsburgh in the late 50s. Lenny totally dominates the show and is magnificent-hear him from 6.
And I'm thinking LAID BACK and CHILLED oldies today because the Irish and the Swiss top the league of the least worried nations in Europe. The Germans are the most stressed (this is all nonsense of course but hey...) and the Brits are pleasantly in the middle somewhere. So you know what to do!
Have a gremlin-free and smooth-running Wednesday, see you after 5
