The clouds, the cricket and another day at the office.
But not my office. I am sitting...
... on the floor of Natalie my editor's office at HarperCollins (one word with a cap in the middle - no complaints alright ?) It's artwork time, and contents page time, and "How's it going?" time.
Sometimes I love sitting on the floor.
"Do you want a chair ?" asks one of the big bosses as they pop by to say "Hello".
"No, I'm fine thanks," I reply. Everyone's so nice to me here. They even just sent me up some hummous and raw veg. Yippee ! Do you think they like me ?
There's a kid in the corner with the cricket score on his computer. Did I tell you I was at The Oval on the last day of The Ashes the last time we won the litttle urn?
Right now - we have just changed the whole of the inside cover STOP THE PRESSES again! Only joking - sort of.
Poor Nat - my Editor - I'm sure Alan Carr and even George Best was easier than this.
But IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT.
Love you lot like a snowman loves the cold.

PS: As ever, we're after your suggestions for an absolutley belting tune to kick off All Request Friday tomorrow. Rack your brains and write your thoughts below...

I am sure your editor loves you. When I worked in Medical Publishing, the same couldn't be said for those authors as they were very demanding. But if you think about it, if you are a world class surgeon, and used to demanding (and getting your own way) whilst performing life saving surgery, then you are going to demand the same from your Editor!! Can't wait for the book Chris xx

Lin have a lovely holiday! I don't envy you the 2:30am start though!
Beez - Not sure where in the Midlands you would be coming from, but to Norwich I'd go M6, then A14, then A11 takes you all the way into Norwich. A11 is about 95% dual carriageway now, and A14 is all dual. Not too bad so long as you don't attempt it rush hour on a Friday night!
Gutted I can't make the Norwich meet - would be home territory!

B's Mum - Just saw the 'elp from PurpleDragon#22!!! 22 being nice az INDEED iz PurpleDragon ter offer assistance ter a distressed motorist/ blogger.... PurpleDragon.... totally spot on with those directions.... nowt ter worry about B's Mum A14/ A11 very fine road.... D/Carr practically all of the way!!!!!!
It's just the end of the A14 right by the end of the M6 and middle of the M1.... MADNESS!!!!!!
In fact it fills me with total ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am feeling... ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man do a wish a could get off these roads and onter the rails before a go off the rails!!!!!!!!!!
Why are we so mad in this country.... WHY?????? A tell yer!!!!! AYE?????
The A14 they turned the whole damn it lot inter dual carriage all the way... from 'untingdon ter near Rugby.... 40 plus miles of road building..... 40 plus... yet what do they do at the very end????.... The busy junction were it meets the M6 and M1?????..... They do nothing.... like Manwell knew nothing.... they do nothing!!!!!
That's what they've done.... NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!
Spend millions building 40 miles of road.... yet the very end bit, instead of building a proper 'igh speed junction/ flyover/ slip road intersection of the section.... they funnel all the A14 traffic inter one lane and put in two mini roundabouts!!!!
Result...... sometimes especially on a Fridee night.... a 10 ter 15 mile jam of traffic at the end of the A14 & often a 4 plus mile quewe on the M6.... WORLD'S RUN BY THE INSANE!!!!!!
Ave a spelt quewe coreeectly????????.... Am past caring!!!!!!!!
Soz been wanting ter get that bit of the road network off me chest for years... thought know, sorry now, wazza good excuse!!!!!!!
Don't let me put you off using the 14 though B's Mum!!!!!!!

Weather it hot and v sticky today, too hot to do much to be honest. According to the weather forecast it got up to 95 degrees F. Could really do with a thunderstorm to clear the air a bit - shame the thunder would send the cat bananas though!
Nothing wrong with British customs! I had someone ask me the other day what a British Stiff upper lip is!
Well that's me off for the day - time to get dinner going - still feels weird that I'm about to start cooking while you're all off to bed!

Well I thinks the Mods should be modded for saying Welsh is "foreign" language. Humph to them.
Avec moi c'est l'hiver le plus profund. so it's a bit like English mid-summer.
See now you're gonna get me into trouble too :)
ps. we moan about our fuel prices here and they're equiv to about 60p a litre, it's even cheaper in US isn't it?

We are currently paying about $2.80 for a US Gallon, and if my maths (usually a bit rubbish!) is right, that's about $0.70 a litre. So roughly 45p? feel free to correct me if my maths is unreliable though!
