Hey, how inspiring and convivial is Michael Sheen?

Chris Evans | 10:30 UK time, Monday, 26 September 2011

What an absolute TB - Top Banana. Could have chewed the fat with him till this time next week.

Which would have meant him having to be in Scotland as that's where I'm going to be.

Gonna spend the first week of my hols trying to play golf half decently in front of far too many people, with a load of golfists who are miles better than I am. It's one of many ways of depressing yourself, yet I am still very much looking forward to it. We is crazy is we not?

So - see you in a fortnight, be nice to Moira whilst I'm away and I shall return after September has evolved into October and basically it'll be Christmas.

Peace and Love and all things good.

CE

    Morning,

    Have a good few weeks off Chris, we shall miss you. Of course we shall look after Moira.....and Lynn :)

    I agree with Sezza, this weather is not what was promised - so do we really believe that it will be 82 degrees by Friday???

    Happy Monday Everyone

    Is it wrong of me to say that until the introduction, I couldn't remember who Michael Sheen was?

    i think he's one of those actors who's so good at their job that they completely beome who they're being - if you see what i mean.

    Nice chap to listen to though

    Ali, hang onto your hat, it's gone a bit bright and shiney out there!

    Need to take the dog out for his shuffle (hes old now bless him) tho so fingers crossed it holds off till we get back!

    Good afternoon Chris,

    thank you for taking the time to blog. ;-) I would love a week off to play golf, never seem to have the time to fit it in. You have even managed to book the weather, lucky you!

    The sun is trying to break through in Devon and I have high hopes for the week ahead, I mean the weathermen never get it wrong do they???

    I had a lovely weekend in Manchester, even if they do talk funny up there. lol Listening to the locals in the pub was like sitting in on an episode of "The Royal family". Ha ha ;-)

    Tomorrow is my first day working as a consultant for my new company! Exciting times.......

    Keep smiling

    Sezza, You were quite right the sun has got his hat well and truely on now :) xx

    Keith, Meant to say congrats to everything, loving the look of your motorhome. I am sure you and MrsK will have lots of happy holidays in it xx

    Hi FOM, Hopefully the sun has made it to Sandwedge now xx

    I am just contemplating whether I need to go to the bottom slapping shop after work, or can I procrastinate one more day??

    Chris, enjoy your holiday, and the golf - just checked the weather and it's heatwave from Wednesday - yippeeeeeee.

    Just back from a hundred-mile round trip to see daughter-in-law, new baby and gorgeous granddaughter. Was lovely and the sun shone all day.

    Back in a bit when I've caught up.

    Keith - get you - Consultant, no less. Sounds very grand. Hope you've had a successful day.

    Loli, sounds like you had a lovely trip down memory lane in your loft. I gave our christening dress to my oldest son and his wife but it's not been used. My lot are heathens. Bet the photos brought a wee tear to the eye.

    Nice to see you fairlyoddmother.

    Keith - alright Mate? Nowt wrong with Manchester that a bit of sunshine wouldn't cure ;) Congrats on the new motorhome, and the new consultancy company!

    Sezza, I was expecting Martin Sheen, as in Charlie's dad, so had a bit of a surprise too! lol

    Nice that the blog has been posted today, which should mean it doesn't get closed off while CLP is away!

    Back in a bit, need to make some phone calls and get something to eat...

Was in local garden centre last week and they were getting out all their Christmas stuff - and 6yr old has already written his list - pound for London, new teddy and a Scalextric car.

    Morning All,

    Well the sun is trying to break through the clouds here, when I looked out of my window this morning, all I could see was fog and it's not lifted quite yet.

    Nothing much to report really, in fact life is a tad dull at the moment, which I think is what I need.

    JG, Read about you know what ;) ;) good on ya, and have a fab time with our Annie xx

    For those that are listening to RM, which is me as I can't be bothered to change the dial; I was wondering how many more times he is going to mention that it's his WDYTYA this week!!! I certainly won't be listening on Thursday morning!

    Happy Tuesday Everyone :)

    Hi everyone:

    Bit of a struggle getting up this morning - a long weekend is lovely, but I always wish I had "just one more day" off!

    I had a lovely day with my sister yesterday, starting firstly with food shopping at T*sco where we were served by the grumpiest woman ever - it must be miserable to have an eight hour shift to get through, and you don't speak a word to anyone, other than to ask for their money. But that didn't put us off, we had a lovely lunch - including a glass or two of wine (of course!) and then I went home for a quiet evening. A very nice weekend, I am glad to say.

    CSN: sounds like you are in the middle of a nightmare - hang in there, it will work out in the end! And, I hope you get your money back. xx

    Bids: is your brother still with you? I know what you mean about clashing with him sometimes - families can be difficult, can't they?!

    Keith: hope your day is going well.

    Annie & JG: how lovely the two of you are meeting up at the weekend - have a great time together.

    AliB: I haven't listened to RM - I tried yesterday for two minutes, and that was enough. However, I am intrigued as to what WDYTYA stands for!

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Afternoon all,

    Well that did not go quite to plan today! I drove to within 4 miles of my appointment and received a phone call to say my client had cancelled! So it looks like an afternoon at home for me. :-(

    It the sun comes out long enough I may have to cut the grass......make hay while the sun shines and all that. ;-)

    Hello Everyone.

    This Indian summer we're having is good.

    I'm presently trying to give my cat Tom a frontline on the back of his neck as he's been scratching a lot, not fleas but a skin irritation he gets sometimes.

    I went quietly into the other room to get it without making a sound but he knew and he was off into the garden. I slowly walked after him doing a full tour of the garden. As this was going to continue for a long while I decided to come back into the house and await another opportunity.

    He's now sitting here looking at me, I think he knows what's coming next.

    Right off we go again!

    I have apparently been designated official spider, wasp and other scary things catcher in this house

    I have pointed out that, as the the only girly person in the house, the boys should be rescuing me but it falls on deaf ears!!

    Been a funny sort of day but I'm off to the cinema with my friend tonight and I'm really looking forward to it

    That's if we can sneak the chocolates in!

    Sorry for the disappearing act last night, it was my little niece's birthday, so ended up talking to her for quite a while, then needed to get tea on the go....

    Annie, Pinot Grigio, but I'll bring it!!

    I'll bring the basics though, as I'll be there earlier.... will ring you tomorrow or Thursday...

    Maddy, I need to do the same to Finlay, but might need to enlist the help of a neighbour lol

    Glad you had a good day with your sister Chrissie! Some of the cashiers in our local ELH are so miserable people prefer to use the self-serve tills lol

    I am pleased to report that it is also a stunning day here in North Kent...hip hip hooray.

    Shame I am stuck in a boring old office all day, with not a lot to do! I am currently in limbo land and won't know what's what until I have a meeting with top boss on the 12th Oct. I am currently being paid for 8 hours a week and not doing anything, which is a bit boring and doesn't sit well with me. So if you've got any work for me to do send it over.

    Still today is Hump Day and that can only mean that the weekend is just around the corner :)

    Good morning everyone,

    Very grey and cloudy here in Ayrshire today but still warm, yesterday was absolutely beautiful.

    We had a lovely time at the weekend, got there on Friday afternoon, on Saturday we visited Jedburgh and Galashiels, Sunday we did Mellerstain House which was really lovely then back home on Monday lunchtime. David had worked a few weekends before we went so we treated ourselves to dinner out on the 3 nights we were away which was great.

    Hope everyone is ok.

    Lovely day here.

    I spent all day yesterday clearing out the kitchen cupboards and didn't get to bed till 2 30 this morning. My lovely son in law came round in the evening to help Mr CSN get everything ready for the electricians, who arrived very early this morning and the plumber is coming in later to take the radiators off the walls for the plasterer, who will be with us for four days from tomorrow.

    This is such fun. LOL!

    Hi everyone:

    I don't think I am alone in saying that I can't wait for Chris to return. Getting ready in silence in the morning is just awful. Still, Miranda on Monday, so I'm looking forward to that.

    Having said that, I do like RM as a person, and I think he's an excellent journalist, but he's just not for me on the breakfast show!

    JG: that was a nice surprise from your ex.

    Sezza: sorry about mentioning snow yesterday ... but it's preying on my mind what we have ahead of us! It would be lovely if you and MrSezza can venture north sometime - yes, there would be quite a few people here to meet you!

    Annie: Carrbridge would be lovely, I'm sure, but don't forget, you, me and Mary are heading to Bids' for the winter!

    Bids: that's still ok, isn't it?!

    Gail: I was thinking of you yesterday - glad to hear you and David had a lovely time.

    CSN: wow, you really are in the middle of it! Just think, though, how lovely everything will be in time for Santa arriving!

    Off to take No 1 Son to his supercar drive day on Saturday that was his c**s present last year. Talking about "c**s" trying to sort out our works meal at the moment and I have about 10 different menu's on my desk and they all sound delish! Decisions Decisions.

    CSN good luck with the home improvements.

    JG Hope you enjoyed your meal after you got over the initial shock.

    Afternoon everyone. Hope you're all well.

    This weather is completely nuts! I've spent the whole summer moaning about the lack of sun and here it is only two days away from October. I'm not complaining at all, but it feels really odd. We had summer in spring then we had autumn and now we've got summer again. It's 27 degrees here in Somerset and there are Halloween costumes and Christmas cards in the shops. Crazy.

    AND, more to the point, I've had to put the boots away and get the sandals back out. Well frankly, I'm just not pedicured. I had put my feet away for the winter, if you see what I mean.


    Love Barmy xx

  • Comment number 65.

    Obamarama - I know what you mean had to repaint the tootsie's last night as they haven't quite been banished to my boots as yet.

    I remember a few years ago being in Wales for a weekend one October and we woke up on the sunday morning with the church bells ringing and the sun streaming through the open window and remember thinking "what a beautiful day". It may be hot but we will all be moaning in a few weeks about the cold and wet.

    Poor ole Deevs has definately picked the wrong week to leave the country for some sun. Typical.

    CSN put your rose tinted glasses and completely ignore the mess and dust it will be worth it all.

    I'm not complaining - it's beautiful today

    I booked our C**s do last week - bowling, eating and shopping - sounds like my kind of do...............and all within a taxi ride (or pick up if I can persuade Mr Sezza!!)

    Night everyone.

    Sleep well and sweet dreams.

    I need to go and help Mr CSN with some more preparation for tomorrow.

    I might pop back in later to see if anyone is still up.

    Good Morning to all bloggers far and wide.

    Its showing all the signs of being another lovely day, I hope its the same for everyone.

    Here we are, the last day of September and the weather has been promised to extend into October too. Who would have thought it?

    I just hope, all that talk of the 'white stuff' is incorrect, I mean seriously, how could it possibly be, when you look at what we are getting at the moment?

    Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend, whatever you have planned.

    I'm off out to enjoy the splendour that Mother Nature has provided. There isn't a price ticket on that.

    Happy Days.

    Hi Bids, Keith.

    Yes its that time of the year, that if you can be out there, then well, be out there basically.

    The best things in life really are free. The Levels are particularly beautiful at the moment, so I shall be a wandering over that way all weekend. The starlings are starting to flock again, thats always a sight to behold.

    Keith, if you can get out of there, do it. You know it makes sense, oh yes you do. LOL!!

    Gotta fly, weeds to pull from the comfort of my deckchair!

    Morning All,

    It's gorgeous here too - Happy Days - and the fact that it is going to last into the weekend is good news too :)

    MTF, Lovely to read you xx I miss you on here xx

    Morning Keith and Bids (and anyone else who has snuck in) xx

    Bids, Looks like you've got a busy night tonight but the food sounds delish :)

    Keith, Get out in the sunshine, I am sure there is a little white ball with your name on :)

    I've just got to get through 5 more hours of boredom then I'm off to do the weekly shop, then to my friends for tea and then Street Pastoring. Tomorrow I shall be being pampered to within a inch of my life and I can't wait. It was a birthday present and I am having a shoulder/back massage, a facial and a foot massage; never has my body been so loved....lol.

    Happy Friday Everyone

    Sunny salutations form Shropshire.

    Looks like the opinion here at work is "stuff it lets all leave early today as the sun has got his hat on". So like a lemming I shall be following the throng out of the door as soon as physically possible.

    Friday night job tonight so pub for me, I love the weekend.

    Suddenly dawned on me last night my husbands sort of auntie is arriving from Australia on Monday and he has volunteered us to put her up for a day or two, so Sunday I shall be mostly cleaning and cooking.

    LaliB - enjoy your pamper day my mum absolutely loved hers earlier in the year it left her so relaxed afterwards she was floating on air.

    MTF - so agree enjoy the things in life that are free as much as possible

    Keith - do it go on leave early, plenty of time to be stuck in the office when the winter comes in force.

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    On this beautiful, sunny day, I fear I must make a dark and secret confession

    I know it is something that many will find unbelievable and, i am afraid, will make some of you question our relationship but, I beg of you, do not think less of me

    I fear, following my reaction to Mr Bruce's Album of the week, that I am going to find the next month a long and difficult one for there is a featured band and the 10pm programme that usually wafts me off to sleep will instead, lead me to a nightmare state!

    For, in truth I have to admit, I HATE PINK FLOYD!!!!

    In fact, the mere hint of Comfortably Numb or the shrieky waily woman makes my skin crawl and my brain crawl into a dark, dank corner and quiver

    There, I've said it! I'll just go hide until someone comes to tell me it's ok, I'm not banned!

    Sezza the Shameful!!

    PS Mr Sezza can't understand it either! He loves them!

  • Comment number 82.

    Sezza, I think we've all got one of those confessions lurking. The moment I saw the words Waily woman, I went cold all over. You see, mine is a Kate Bush thing. I hit the 'off' button to spare myself the torture! Yet she is so popular, its all down to personal taste.

    Ali,,after your dedicated night of street pastoring, you enjoy and savour every moment of your 'pamper' session.

    CB, hope you achieve your 'poets' day.

    Back to the garden for me, sprucing everywhere up. Its looking good. Shame I had to sit in a bed of nettles to reach some of it, ho hum, numb bum!

    Hi everyone:

    Just checking in to wish everyone a nice weekend. I have been slightly spoiled today, and have been for lunch with one of the bosses - it's lovely to be taken for lunch unexpectedly!

    Bids: I am so glad our booking is in your diary ... I really wish we were coming to spend the winter with you and Mr Bids!

    Keith: I hope you did leave early today. xx

    AliB: enjoy your massages - you'll be feeling great after them!

    CB: good luck with the preparation for your couple of days of entertaining.

    Sezza: re: Pink Floyd - I must confess, I can take or leave them. My deeply loved, dearly missed Dad loved Another Brick in the Wall!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend - I am hoping to spend tomorrow with my sister, but the weather is looking not so good, so a day out may not be on the cards.

    Evening each

    Gorgeous day in the sun with 1yr and 6yr old. And, if anyone gave me a thought when Sally Traffic was on - yes, I was in the ginormous queue to the Forth Road Bridge. Took ages to get home.

    Sezza, well that's you off the man in the cupboard's Christmas list. Pink Floyd is his favourite band.

    Ali, enjoy your massage tomorrow - sounds lovely and you deserve it.

    Howdedoody MTF, nice to see you and hope the bum is less numb now.

    Evening all

    Well I'm in Scotland....woohoo!!! Took a bit longer than I thought, mainly because I had stop a few times for Finlay...so 4 hours later, I finally got here!! Just need Annie's company now, and we're all set!! Hope the traffic's better for you tomorrow!!

    BTW I hope he does it tomorrow too, because it's funny... Finlay keeps walking into the patio door....lol He's not used to them...

    Ali, enjoy your pamper day...

    Sezza, I didn't used to like them, but they've grown on me.

    MTF, I used to do that with Queen, but they've grown on me too!

    Hi to everyone else, have a good weekend all!!

    Glad you got there safe JG. Poor Finlay, does he have a bump on his head?

    Was going to iron some clothes but really can't be bothered so I'll just chuck them in the case and hope for the best. Have been awake sine 3am so hopefully I can stay awake for Strictly at 9, then off to bed.

    Hiya

    JG, Glad to hear you got there safely, even if it did take you a bit longer. Enjoy your weekend and give Annie a hug from me!

    Annie, It sounded like Sally was having a busy day today, The sunshine has been beautiful and, mixed with the colours of the leaves, absolutely glorious!! Give that JG a hug from me, won't you!

    Right, must be time for me to grab a glass of something cold and white ready for Strictly!

    Annie, there's an ironing board here....not found the iron yet, I would assume there is one...

    Finlay is going mad on the balcony...he can hear the ducks and geese on the loch we overlook! Hopefully he will have settled a bit more by tomorrow!!

    I'm going to watch Strictly too

    JG x

  • Comment number 91.

    JG - as if I'll be ironing!! Now that's my idea of heaven - overlooking a loch, with a glass in my hand. Can't wait. Have satnav, printed instructions from the rac and navigation on my phone. Will I get lost? Of course I will.

    xxxxx

  • Comment number 92.

    Do you think it would take me long to get there?

    I could pack quickly and share the balcony with Finlay!

    Sezza xxxx

  • Comment number 93.

    Damn and bums. Got a phone call and missed the beginning of Strictly.

    Sezza - see you tomorrow.

    Well, Lulu's gone up in my estimation - what a good sport. Rubbish dancer but a good sport.

    Quiet ere innit?

    Not much planned for this weekend. Looking forward to Dr Who and Merlin (don't do Strictly) but not looking forward to Dr Who ending :-((.

    I hope Annie got to JG's place OK and they are having fun, whatever the weather (the report from JG wasn't too good this morning but hopefully the sun will have burnt through the mist.)
