THE HEAT IS ON...

Chris Evans | 15:03 UK time, Tuesday, 5 August 2008

...not for me but more for my beautiful expectant wife and my ...

...assistant the glorious Hiten.

You don't know him but that doesn't really matter.

They are moving us you see. For today is the day we finally move into the new house. It's been almost two years of planning and building and four years if you count the time we had to wait for planning.

Actually we're not moving in at all but our furniture is along with one very robust Marky Mark, he of the hottest curry in the world fame. He is to house sit and to dog sit and all that palava whilst we move out of our mates, Big Scottish John's and go to the States for our summer holiday.

Tash is v. excited and has been organising everything to do with the building, decoration and interiors for months now. In fact I have only been back to the site once or twice in the last few months. She's good at it all and loves it, I am not and don't. Stick to the bits that float your boat and leave the rest to others eh ?

Celebration rib eyes tonight. I marinaded them this morning before I left around nineish, they should be falling apart by the time I get home.

One ice cold beer as soon as I get in and then...

Aghhhhhhhhhhhh I shouldn't have started thinking about that.

CLP.

    Oh how exciting CLP! Have you given Marky Mark strict instructions not to give anything (not house, not dogs, not ANYTHING) away while you're on hols???

    (Can't believe you're leaving us again by the way, you're not supposed to have this many holidays!!!)


    Is Enzo home now??

  • Comment number 5.

    Oh crumbs spare ribs - was just thinking what to do tonight! In freezer - marinated to bits all ready to cook YUM!

    At last - house ready - and you off on hols - not for too long we hope? aaaargh! Much better for Tash and little one though - is Enzo back home then?

    That means you will be unpacking all manner of items? at long last will we know what our gingembre has in store?

    Good afternoon Lovelies!!!

    Chris - I bet you can't wait to snuggle up in your own bed in your new house with your lovely wife!!! May you have many, many happy years there!

    Well all, sorry I haven't been here for aaaaages, I had the last couple of weeks off work, doing, well nothing at all really!

    Me and the kids hung out, spent time with friends, had BBQs and went to loads of BBQs - just a thoroughly great time AND we're tanned, well me and the boy wonder are, my poor daughter is still very pale and interesting!

    So today is day number 2 in the office, but really I shouldn't count yesterday, as I had to leave early with a dreadful streaming cold - much better today though!

    Dinner tonight - hmmm, my lad is staying with Nanny for a few days, so I think I'll take the pale one out for dinner!!!

    Catch you all later!!

  • Comment number 13.

    My dinner tonight is roast chicken with hasselback spuds, yorkies, stuffing and plenty of veg.

    That is if the chicken defrosts. If not, beans on toast - or maybe I'll partake in a takeaway....

    Ello CLP - Damn fine ter 'ear yer outta the caravan at last!!!!!

    'ope you enjoy the 'oliday but knowing you there must be a reason other than just an 'oliday for going ter the west coast of the US of A!!!
    Are you going ter check out the California sand ready ter ave some delivered ter yer new abode???..... Following in the footsteps per'aps of The Beach Boy aka The Wilson dude who filled 'is 'ous with california sand - just wondering!!!!!?!

    Okay all onto me joke that I thought of while in the jewellers. This gives you an slight insight of what iz going on in the psyche of the Bingo brain, the mind when am in a shop........

    JOKE #1:

    A trainee 'eart surgeon turned up at the operating theatre for 'is very first 'eart operation ter be performed on a woman.

    On opening up 'is surgeons kit of utensils, the senior surgeon said "what on eaaarrrrrrrrth 'ave you got there"?

    The trainee said "diamonds, 'ave 'eard they are the best way to a womans 'eart"!!!!!!@!!@!!!!

    Chow!

    PS JOKE #2 (worse than the first):

    The N.Aych.S. are trying ter reduce the cost of surgeons wages.

    Theyy've goot locksmiths performing some of the operations......

    It's called key 'ole surgery!!!@!!!

  • Comment number 15.

    Mariella - I'm thinking Carvery tonight... wet, damp weather - just the right food to go with it!

    Bingo - OMG! You're still as nuts as ever! Don't EVER change!!!

  • Comment number 16.

    How exciting for you both CLP.

    Our house was new one when we moved in 8 years ago. Not that we built it of course!

    We had to wait outside on the day of the move to wait for the carpet fitter to finish.

    I loved the luxury of not worrying about what the previous owners had left behind, or cleaning everything when you moved in. Being able to come in at weekends and paint the walls before the move.

    At the same time, I appreciate the charm of the old houses with character and corners. Oddly enough, this house doesn't have many corners for furniture.

    Now dinner tonight here is to be an indian take-away. The preffered option from birthday boy.

    Debbie #16 - how do you have a house with no corners? - unless it is a windmill or a lighthouse perhaps!

    As to new properties being free of other peoples hair etc..... would you really trust a builder that much?

    I know Bsmum. My dad played that on our piano. Just can't get into it. Was made to learn piano for years because I got my grandad's piano when he died. And I hated it. Used to spend my piano lesson money at Dragones ice cream parlour looking at the boys with their motorbikes. And still can't stand listening to it.

    And another thing Nev.

    Almost one whole wall of my lounge is taken up by a patio door. See where I'm coming from? There are corners, but wasted ones.

    Didn't Chris once talk about a converted lighthouse? I seem to recall a picture of one on the home page.

    Guys personally I really like the way the blog diverts to different subjects. A natural progression of thoughts.

    Hi all,

    Happy birthday to the 17 year old Debbie, wish I was still that age!! Went out with my niece and her mates the other week to celebrate her 18th, guess who got the rowdiest??!! Told them all I'm growing old disgracefully, it's the only way!

    Been a bit of a domestic goddess today, made a lovely pizza with number 1 son with yummy homemade wholemeal base and then a huge sponge cake with pink icing with number 2 son! I love cooking with my boys but sadly I always end up doing the dishes.

    Good luck with the move Chris hope it all goes well xx

    Did anyone watch Phil Beadle Can't Read Can't Write last night? He is so attractive I think, and I love his clothes - anyone else agree with my weird crush?

    So Christoph, heading west, young man?

    One of our favourite parts of the world.

    We've done pretty much the whole coast, albeit in sections. Last year we headed down through Washington, joined the coast in Oregon and ended up in San Francisco.

    But. The best bit is south from San Francisco to LA. Once you pass Carmel, there is the Monterey peninsula and then Big Sur. I may have waxed lyrical once or twice about Ragged Point and Hearst Castle, and I do apologize, but it is stunning.

    Down to Santa Barbara, and then to Malibu and LA proper. But then you lived there, so you'll all about that.

    South of LA is pretty cool too with all the beaches and then the fabulous city of San Diego, just be a little careful heading any further south. You may end up in Mexico.

    By accident. But that is another story.

    Whatever you're up to, enjoy.

    By the time you get back, we'll be getting ready to pack for Abu Dhabi. A pile of books, silly sunhats and oodles of lotion.

    I'm an accountant. Get me out of here.

    Peace chaps.

    Blimey, where is everyone for the past two hours?!

    CLP, hurrah for finally moving in to the long-awaited newness!!! Hope Marky Mark doesn't try feeding any of that hot hot curry to Enzo or Beth... Is Enzo home now then, or his he staying at the doggie hospital until you're back off your holibobs?

    And I think I must have missed something somewhere as well, I thought you were still in the big shiny tin house thing, barbecueing away!

    Ribs sound mighty nice I have to say. It's been cereal and cheese toasties in our house, we are too shattered still to cope with real cooking - hopefully normal service will resume tomorrow

    10-inch Tennant. Cheryl, Ms Diva, I can hardly believe you've not heard that one before!

    Hi Matt. Wish that I could comment but I have never been 'across the pond'.

    Very quite here tonight. I've just popped in while the two older boys play in the garage and the other one sleeps.

    I have a curry to order when they have finished and I really don't fancy it now. Probably going to settle for a chicken tikka korai. Then some birthday cake (!).

    Have only ever lived in new houses since I got married, don't think I could live in someone elses, especially after seeing ( and helping to clean) my brothers recent purchase. The bathroom floor was sticky all over, but that's too much information. The carpet wouldn't lay flat after vacuuming because the rotten underlay had been sucked up and moved! I could go on but I'm feeling queasy now!

    Good morning CLP and all here today.

    So you are moving today Chris, will you have time to blog? How did your darling wife Tash enjoy the place to herself for the ONE night before you and the dogs move in? All I need to say is enjoy your new home and everything that comes and goes with it.

    Paper boy again today and it feels muggy and like the rains are about to pour down, I do hope not.

    Thanks for the comments on FB , you know who you are!

    Strange we were talking about messy men and Tash wanted the place to herself for just one night just how she wanted it clean, manless and dogless!!

    Hope she thoroughly enjoyed it! Well deserved after the caravan/scooter/goodness knows what else! With all these good wishes it sure is going to be a happy home.

    How exciting Chris!!!!!!!! I love moving in to a new house. Belongings were in storage - after being shipped over - for about 6 months! Managed to buy a house - it was so empty, depressing - soul-less and me-less. Then, one day I went to work - husband called to tell me to go to the new house after work instead of in-laws where we were lodging. Walked in the door ----- all my tatty furniture about --------- almost cried to see it. Wouldn't leave to collect my meagre belongings from lodgings. Me and my tat - together again at last. Felt like home. Bittersweet - wanted to go back home across the sea and yet felt so grounded sitting on MY couch. Finally I was coming home after work.

    Have a great holiday and take care of Tash and littlest DJ.

In to wet garden with new toy - oooeer bit loud for this time of night - toy back in house - towel out to dry off doggy - oh goodee playtime but this time with towel! 5 mins - settled down Oh Joy!

    Morning cats!

    It's grey and muggy here in Coolchester, but it's august, so to be expected I guess.

    Houses: when I was younger I worked for a succession of house builders (the big guys, corporate boxes - you know the ones). My one and only dream was to own a brand new house. Never before lived in by another.

    Fast forward 20 years and my dream house now would be a wonky auld cottage, thatched roof, tin bath in the front garden and roses round the door.

    One day ....

    Watched Ferris Bueller last night - still brill after all those years. Don't think Mr Diva was that impressed but hey ho! I loved it!

    Lots to do today but will dip in and out for the usual batch off fun, frivolity and flippancy.

    Happy Hump Day - swing ya pants!

    CtD - Speed dating huh?

    Hmm - may give that a go, but wouldn't it be like a cattle market?

    Mind you, I have been into a few sweetie shops (online dating sites), which are great to have a look at with friends whilst sharing a bottle of wine, but not sure I'd have the front to speed date...

    Problem is, whilst I'm being picky, all my single friends have found themselves a nice fella!!! NOT going on my own!!!

    Right, gonna search for speed dating in my area....

    Aww Sammie - wish i could come with you - for moral support, not dating you understand!!!

    Alwight Christoof and ALL Blog Ops,

    Bingo Star ere,

    So wot can I write about terdee.......

    Firstly - Sammie1170 - Thanks for your commentations yesterdee!!!!!

    Secondly - Bruno Senna on the show yesterdee - great guest ter ave on Jono S!!! BUT I saw 'im last year racing at Oulton Park in F3 but 'e's not as good as Ayrton Senna - Ayrton waz a one off who dominated everything 'e ever raced in.
    Talkin' of rrrrrrrrrrrracing relatives I waz at Oulton Park nearly two weeks ago and whatta a beautiful day, day of beauty it waz all. Summer waz ere just for a day, just for a day.
    I waz around the paddock looking at the Ginetta cars getting ready ter go out not realising I waz standing right by Josh 'ill's car aka son of Damon 'ill. I only realised when I looked across ter the otherside of the fencing and who's standing there.... one of me all time 'eros aka Damon 'ill!!!!!!
    A mean I feel abit for Damon, 'e doesn't get the credit 'e deserves (although if it's ter do with the credit crunch 'e probally wouldn't want it - know what am sayin'!!!)
    Why doesn't 'e get the credit 'e deserves - al tell yer..... Damon took on the mighty Schumacher and beat 'im many a time becoming the 1996 F1 World Champ. And don't forget Schumachers dirty move in Australia (Adalaide 1994), where 'e purposely, in my opinion, crashed inter 'ill, that in my robbed Damon of another 'onest World Champioship!!!!
    'ill waz always 'onest!!!!!! A clean racer!!
    And Damon waz Ayrton's team mate when Ayrton waz killed. I mean imagine being under that pressure - promoted ter team leader, in front of the world stage, when the greatest ever racing driver 'as just been killed.
    Yeah I couldn't believe it a god of motorsport standing near me, just looking ordinary.
    A mean if that waz Schumacher there'd be a crowd around 'im but 'ill waz there on 'is own with just the odd 'graph 'unter coming upto to 'im!!
    A tell yer, I feel angry for 'ill, DAMN 'angry!!!@!
    'e doesn't get the recognition 'e deserves!!!!!
    Mind you 'e waz 1994 and 1996 ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sports operatative of the year and is president of the BRDC aswell!
    So maybe 'e does get some of the recognition 'e deserves!!!
    Mind you I waz unable ter get 'is graph meself. I 'ad nothing ter get signed and 'e disappeared before I could get around ter the other side of the fencing in question where Damon waz. Ave never met Damon ever - I know, I damn know, I feel disrespectful to 'im!!
    Anyway what am tryin' ter say 'ere iz the 'ill family are one of those very rare families were the talent 'as been proved ter pass to different generations. Graham 'ill, Damon's father, waz F1 World Champ twice - 1962 and 1968!!!!!
    Now Damon's son Josh iz racing in the junior Ginetta chamionship. Some might say what a strange championship ter go into if yer tryin' ter reach the top but I can see Damon's thinking. The Ginettas are all identicle and all for youngesters ter learn race craft (aged 14 terrrr 17).
    Yer can learn more about race craft in one of those totally equal cars then, sorry than, bombing it around in F3 or GP2 and winning, ok yes partly 'cos of yer talent, but also just 'cos yer 'appen ter be in the best teams damn it car!!!!!>!
    Damon knows what 'e's doing with 'is son Josh.
    I waz watching the Ginetta race and I was very impressed by Damon's son. 'e started second and dropped ter third but showed an immense maturity for a young man by being patient and eventually getting second back, overtaking right at the spot that I waz watching the race - I think we're gonna see alot more of Josh 'ill in the future, alot more!!!

    Chow!

    EASYJOBROB - WAKE UP!!! from your drunken stupor there is a little girlie here who wouldn't mind a date! Sorry virtual wife!!!

    My advice - Sammie? just love em and leave em and make the most of being single!! (Would have loved to have tried speed dating though - my big problem is laughing, when someone comes across as "big I am" and I dare say there would be a few of those)

    Morning bloggers and bloggettes.

    How's Hump Day treating you so far?

    I don't really have much to ocntribute today so will stay short and sweet. Like me, really...

    Got friends coming round tonight and my housework elf has been as tired as I have recently so the house is still awaiting tidying.

    And there's always something more interesting to do than tidying up... like baking chocolate cake or treacle tart or biscuits.....

    Just remember when speed dating that the guys are every bit as nervous as the girls.
