What excitement awaits? A morning of book chat with our selection committee ruminating on the next 3 months, that's what! All meetings are overrated but this one sneaks through as 1) it's really important 2) the boss attends 3) good biscuits and 4) I like pretending I'm still at Uni but studying Eng Lit and we are a decadent group of bohemian ne'er-do-wells listening to Dylan and discussing Emily Dickinson.
We are smoking French cigarettes and sipping espressos. Someone will reference Proust and we'll all laugh knowingly. My cape will attract appreciative glances from all, as well as the way I have matched it with an assortment of wild flowers in my hair. Bet you wish you were there huh? No photos aloud sadly.
Meantime, back in the office, the show is on the way. Catherine Tate is in today to talk about the return of Big School, David Walliams BBC1 comedy series. She is such a great actress and no stranger to Radio 2 either; the shows she did with David Tennant were riotous.
And I think songs for the NEW TERM might work. Scottish schools are back already, everyone else in the next few days, but with Big School on TV, today is the day to remember that back-to-school feeling, and go dry clean the uniforms.
Now pass me my beret...
