Never Said This Before But I'll Say It Now
Routine.
Wake up - turn off all three alarm clocks, run shower, brush teeth in shower, dress - tracky and hoodie and trainers. Phone and wallet, kiss wife, pat dog, exit house, let out chickens, get in car with Marky Mark.
Go through e mails from Hells - Exec Prod; write opening of show and send through to Hells. Listen to 6 o'clock news, power nap - if time, usually not.
Arrive - hug girls, pat boys on the head, beg for tea. Papers - separate headlines into 3 categories:- General Interest, Political, Sport.
Sift and sort listener emails. Loo.
Studio - rehearse top of show - do show. Say goodbye to everyone, haircut, gym, back to car to leave for Sporting Challenge (today gymnastics !) write blog, post blog. . .
Current time 11.37a.m.
I feel like Jack Bauer but not as handsome or daring.
Have a nice day you crazy cats.

Hi CLP, Just getting back into routine after hols.
Get up at 6.00am, empty dishwasher, empty and reload washing machine, make packed lunches and breakfast, shower, dress, dry hair, serve / eat breakfast, hang out washing, gently encourage two gorgeous boys to ready themselves for the day and out the door, hop in car, drop younger gorgeous boy at school (childminder in hols), get to work, sit in front of computer bored out of my skull for 5 hours, drive to school (childminder's) to collect ygb, return home, deal with any mail, do some domestic engineering, assist ygb with homework, make tea, ring eldery but gorgeous Mum, more domestic engineering, ready ygb for bed, listen to ygb read, (most evenings) hot date with ironing board, flop in front of tv (or go for a run, energy levels permitting)! Blimmin' 'eck, I'm exhausted just typing about it.
That's my day, CLP, not nearly as interesting / glamorous as yours but the important thing is I'm happy (not at work - but homelife makes up for that).
I hope you gorgeous bloggers are all well. I haven't had time to catch up with goings on since Easter weekend but hope everyone is hale and hearty.

Whatever did you do when you were "resting" for 5 years or so - you must have been bored out of your mind!! 2 1/2 days to go in current job, then I will have another routine, though no idea what it will be yet...I get bored easily, so a couple of weeks without a job will feel like a holiday but any more than that and it will start to impact...
Andy - Thanks for the tax offer but I forwarded it to a colleague to deal with as a)she will be here after I have finished b)she gets paid more than me and c) I can't be ***ed!!

CLP, you busy boy. I listened to loads of your show yesterday . I was on my way to work at 7.45 am and the swing bridge accross the Manchester Ship Canal swung to let a ship go through. Then the bridge eventually swung back at TEN am. A slight technical hitch, so my three mile, 15 minute commute ,turned into a mega road bun fight as everyone was trying to find alternative routes. Sooo, i got to hear so much more and it was great.It really cheered me up.
Chrissie, hope your injection has improved your shoulder for you.

I'm feeling a bit better, but have also heard that as it's such a late spring, everything is coming out at the same time, hence the pollen overload!! Weird what they all write...
Seza, have a confession, when I looked properly at the label for the second time it was a stroganoff, but not much different IMHO!! And truly gorgeous!
MC - TWO???? !!!! Have a good evening with your friend :)
Susan, sorry about your interview, I've found it's normally their terms or else in the past, I must admit I do the same unless someone looks especially outstanding, although having said that, we don't get many applicants for jobs at our place on the rare occasion we recruit...But we do ask for highly qualified staff to be paid a pittance...

I'm not really sure what you are trying to get across on today's blog.
It would appear that you get up, albeit early, get driven to work, read a few e-mails and newspapers, talk and play records for a couple of hours and then go off to play with your friend Jonny.
It's not really up there with putting in a shift down the pit or at a busy A & E department is it?

We camped at the racetrack, which was a nightmare, as we had to un-pitch on the Friday evening, and re-pitch after 11pm!!!!
Cue many a wasted hour spent playing crazy golf in Bogner....

The Goodwood Revival meeting is in September, and is the one where everyone dresses in period costume from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Hope you've got tickets for the right one! We will be at the revival (in costume). Pens suggestion sounds like a good idea, and Chris has been to the revival too.

A motorbike waiting in a queue!!!
Not a lot to report on the nature watch today except that the birds have been really attacking the feeders.
Its been jolly cold, so not so much in the way of flying fodder for the returning martins, swallows and yet to be seen swifts.
Nice to hear that we have some nice weather forecast for saturday.
It will be nice to catch up and have a natter in the flesh instead of on here.
That is the only downfall of the blog, we all live so far apart.
One day, wouldnt it be nice if we could find somewhere almost in the middle and have a mass blog meet.
Maybe hire a marquee for the weekend?
How about Cannock?
But no, probably it would need to be somewhere in the middle.
Can someone with time on their hands, pinpoint the most central place in the Uk.

Got told off for over-celebrating by dancing with Finlay by Mr JG who supports the team what normally wins everything and has no idea what it means to have lost against a certain side for 10 years!
Anyhow, we are now not going on holiday until after the Manchester Derby!
Annie, I wouldn't have a clue, I just take all the clean clothes I own, and hope there's a washer there...I don't own much, as you can tell...
Oh and plenty of waterproofs and torches...
