A Hard Rain Falls
- 14 Jun 07, 12:30 AM
Monday 2pm: Am sitting in the garden, eating lunch under a Mediterranean style sun and getting distinctly pink around the edges. Am considering that if this keeps up I may well have a decent tan by the weekend, particularly welcome as I have been invited to several barbecues.
Tuesday 2pm: Am looking out at the same garden being washed away in a deluge of driving rain, a flood of biblical proportions. Expect at any moment to see Noah on an ark sailing down the street.
Wednesday 2pm: Am on the phone to the insurance company to find out if I can claim for the guttering torn from the front of the house, the leaking glass roof, the huge damp patch on the kitchen wall that has taken all the paint off and last, but by no means least, the three week old cream carpet that is now a sort of smudgy dalmation pattern thanks to the soot spots washed down the chimney.
Wednesday 8pm: Am at friend’s house for barbecue. Inside, eating grilled burgers while looking out at pouring rain. At least the dogs are hot. No tan.
Thursday 1am: Am drinking wine in continuing effort to drown sorrows and create own artificial sunshine in a glass. Apply fake tan. Write blog while waiting for lotion to dry. Still raining.

So it was a particularly watery week for anyone presenting a Sunday morning radio show - Kim and William affected!

Dear Ms. Lenaghan, just a word to say how much my wife, Daphne, and I, really enjoy your early morning record programmes. Not just because our musical tastes seem to coincide in a preference for songs with a tune, but because of the charm of your chat. It isn't easy to convey warmth through a microphone but you do it very well.Why aren't you on every day? Or every evening for that matter?
