Happy Hump Day.

Afternoon each from sunny Fife

Good luck with the number crunching Chris - I'm sure you've nothing at all to worry about.

Should be doing some work but it's so hard writing about myself - biographical details needed for a publication - and I hate talking about myself. I'm sure no-one will be remotely interested. AND - they need a photo!! How awful is that?

Might go and talk to the plants instead.

xxxxx

Annie - you could talk to the trees, but they don't listen .......

;-)

x x x

Well, I'll just have a cuppa and a ciggie then Deevs.

Hi Chris: I am sure all will be well with the figures, you must be adding to your "army" each day! This morning's show was brilliant, Chris, quite inspired to play Beatles covers. xx

CSN: thank you, yes we do have some sun - I had to deliver a letter at lunchtime and it was so warm, I had to take my jacket off!

Annie: now, don't you be shy about talking about your many attributes! With regard to photographs, there's only one of me I can tolerate at the moment, and it's the one you took of me in the taxi in Leeds!

C xx

That was a good photo Chrissie, wasn't it?

Unfortunately, mine has to be in HD. Youngest son is a photographer and is going to take it - he's been well warned to airbrush, photoshop etc.... Alternatively, I could use the app on son-in-law's phone which makes you look like a hamster.

xxxx

Annie: you really do make me chuckle! And, yes, it's a great photo, and it was such a great time meeting up with everyone.

I miss the blog meets!

xx

Hello.

Chrissie, had to wear my jacket to walk the dog, chilly out there.

Annie, bet your son will take a lovely photo of you.

Jumping blog!

csn. xx

CSN, poor you. We've had showers but sunny now.

And yes, he'd better - I look after his children!!!

xxxx

Afternoon,

It keeps threatening rain, but nothing yet, I bet it starts just as I leave work!

Chris, My friend is a newish convert, but I think that was probably the last quarter. I am sure your figures will be fine.

Now, I know this was a long time ago, but I have finally got round to completing my Zimbabwe Journal. So those that have asked for a copy, it will be winging it's way to your email box shortly. It is 28 pages long, so I won't be offended if you decide not to read it...lol.

Only an hour to go until home time - hooray.

AliB

AliB: I am sure your Journal will be fascinating - well done on getting it completed.

xx

Hello again?

Phew. A girl could get a complex here!

Has anyone else had problems posting here or is it just me?

Chris, good luck with the figures but we're sure it'll be all good. The show sounds great at the moment, really vibrant and engaging.

Loved the Beatles covers this morning and the way it just sort of happened

btw, Bloggers, Hels Bels was very much in charge today so i think it was the other Helen who moved on to other things

Ali, did you send me your journal?

So, what else did i miss?

Sezza xx x xx

Sezza, I have now :) xx

Chrissie, Thanks, it was all written I just had to add some photographs but it kept going down my list of things to do! xx

AliB
x

Ali, I think I did ask you for a copy?

csn. xx

csn, You did, thank you, and I've sent you a copy. I used the email addresses on FB so if that's not right then look mine up on there and email me.

AliB
xx

Ali, thank you.

csn. xx

Jumping blog - not just me jumping with excitement at my TT tickets!

Hello Peeps - not really here.....

Deevs/Crumps - tea after work early June sounds brill - A shrewsbury on a Saturday is a bit of a bother - 230 mile round trip :-(

BTW - having spoken to the infamous Diva I can confirm she is a very happy lady :-)

Right off I pop

laters taters

Debs, take care of those tickets and a happy Diva sounds good!

Sezza xx x xx

Ali, I'd love to read your Journal.

Am watching Monarch of the Glen, have to get back there soon, I so miss Loch an Eilian.
xxxx

Hiya

Happy Chops here!

Tea in Telford. How very English and civilised ..... ;-)

Sezza - I have had problems posting longish posts on here lately, which is why I've stopped waffling so much (no - you didn't notice!?!?), and why sometimes first thing in the morning I post several consecutive posts as its the only way it'll let me do it. Most annoying!

Another late night for my lovely man - he should be home by 9. Hopefully. But he'll be really tired and in need of a lorra TLC.

Hey ho!

Deevs

Happy we day, new! nice to be thought of in that way. mi like the song, madonna, like a virgin, in radio 2 terms, only a about a year or two going. I'm new again, wohoooo!!!!! soz, don't let me wake you with my immature woopalations....wooop woop. lol xx I will let you into a secret, I leave the radion on, even if I'm not here, to add to the viewing figures. lots of love and laughter xxx please don't blame me for wasting energy, the parrot needs company too. xx

Deevs, Sounds like your man is coming home to just what he needs!

Annie, I just watch M of the G too! SO beautiful - and the scenery's not bad either!

New book club choice is To Kill A Mockingbird! I suddenly feel 16 again!

At least I haven't got to wirte any essays this time!

Sezza xx x xx

Oh gawd! I remember doing that for Emglish O Level too! x

I remember reading it, it must have been for O level I think!

Do you remember, long, hot, sunny days with Steve Wright on the radio? Seems so long ago!

Oh, wait, that was just last week! ;-)

One of our group has been mithering about reading it for ages so we'll give it a go!

Don't know if we'll enjoy it as much as the last choice - The Art of Racing In the Rain. Made me think of Christoff as the narrator was a dog called Enzo! Beautiful story but very sad

Sezza xx x xx

I can recommend A Spot Of Bother by Mark Haddon. Its ages since I read it but I know it had me turning the pages, and in tears or laughter and sadness - appeals to a wide range of readers.

Hi Chris,

Won't even begin to try and predict which way tomorrow's revealed figures will have gone, seeing as I predicted a dip in the first recorded figures when you took over.
Good job I'm not a betting man.
It must be like receiving your school report, only in this case.
You don't have the option of pretending you didn't get one or hoping your teacher forgets about the unreturned - yet to be signed - slip of paper, which is now barely legible it's been transferred to your clean pair of trousers so many times.
Does anyone else remember that heart stopping moment when you went upstairs to find that the pair of trousers or the pillow case in which you had hidden something of such earth shattering importance - that were it to be discovered by the enemy (Mum) it would surely be the beginning of the apocalypse - gone?!
Well anyway.....my point being, that we (the world) get to see it, and not only see it, but have it rammed down our throats by the paper with the least on-side editor.
That said - I'm sure it will be fine as always.....

I'm certain in fact, because you keep raising the bar.
I have never heard such a fine collection of records over 60 minutes as I did between 06:30 and 07:30 this morning. How on were Have This supposed to follow that?!

As for your Silver Sony: I wear a gold wedding ring, but I chose White gold because it looks like silver. Well done btw. Not to be sniffed at!

Hello t'others.
Hope you're all ship shape & bristol fashion

Love and all that sloppy stuff

Rips

Evening Rips. Didn't understand all of that, but I get your gist. Nice to see you.

xxxxx

Sezza, It's filmed in my favourite place in the world - Aviemore/Rothiemurchus.

xxxx

Sloppy stuff right back atcha Rips!

Annie, it is so beautiful. Is it far from you? I think I'm going to be doing a lot of armchair travelling this year!

Deevs, I look out for that one

Sezza xx

Hello CE & Everyone.

I've been attempting to listen to your show Chris on my Premier hospital tv/radio. I would have loved to relax and listen for the full three hours but they kept interrupting for a wash, breakfast, medication, etc. And what's more, I've been in three different wards since last Friday because of the bug, each time somethin g new was wrong with the tv/radio, they don't maintain them as they say that they are running them at a loss.

Yes, I had to return to hospital last Friday with high temperature, low blood pressure and some further chest infection. I hope I'll be OK this time and won't need to go back again. I've lost a stone in weight and been told to eat snacks as well as healthy food so this is good news.

Anyway, I know that you have nothing to worry about at all regarding the figures as yours is the definitely the number one show and as long as you keep going then so will your breakfast show.

MM xxx

Aww Maddy, I'm sorry to hear you're poorly again. I hope you get better soon x x x

Sezza xxx

So sorry to hear that you have had to go back to hospital Marj.

I did post on your fb and wondered why you hadn't been around.

Take care and keep in touch.

MTF.xx

Marjie.

Thinking of you, take care.

csn. xx

MTF, Good to see you too

How's the wonky wheel on the lawnmower doing?

xxx

Take care Marjie. xxxx

Son-in-law has just sent me a photo of myself looking like a hamster. Can't stop laughing.

xxxx

Thanks Sezza & MTF.

I am getting fed up with it now but I have to be patient. I'm getting a 'package of care' starting from tomorrow morning, this is where they come here to help me for a short time each day until I get my strength back which could be days or weeks. And of course Bingo is helping but he has his own life too and he mustn't get completely exhausted. He's very strong but everyone has their limits. And his lovely girlfriend is coming in to help, she's such a lovely girl and I'm so relieved that he's found her.

Going to catch up with blog, fb and emails soon.

MM xxx

Sezza, if I was to tell you that the grass is about a foot deep....

Annie, I would love to have a pic of me looking like a hamster :)

MTF.xx

Just decided to sign in to wish you well MM. Really sorry to hear that you have been so poorly. Please take care xx

Hi everyone else - been back from hols for 10 days now and haven't a hope in whatsit of catching up so hope the rest of you are all hunky dory?

Have some hugs anyway as I missed you while I was away {{{{x}}}}

Susan xx

Good to hear Marj.

Make sure they come for as long as you need them. xx

Hi Susan. Hope all is well with you and that you had a great holiday.

MTF.xx

This is so much easier to communicate than the Mayo blog, where the 3 minute delay is still in place.

MTF.xx

Am fed up with the blog having problems allowing me to post so am off to bed in a cream puff.

Night all. xxxxx

Hiya MTF

We had a wonderful couple of days in Weymouth and then went off to Bergamo for some R&R over the Easter hols - seems so long ago now! Hope you are well although I think I spotted you had been a bit poorly too?

Sus x

MTF, my lawn is foot high weeds in a sea of dry, brown grass!

Hi CSN, have you warmed up now?

Susan, I'm thinking this 5 day week lark is a bit much and I need a holiday!

Maddy, you make the most of that care package and make sure you get everything you need. Slowy, slowly is going to do best for you so take it easy

Sezza xxx

Hi Sezza I really need a holiday again. How come you do so much work to go away and then twice as much again when you come back. How are your new doors? We had new doors downstairs in January and they make such a difference - oak finish and so posh looking (for us).

S x

Hello!

Marjie, so sorry you've been back in hospital. Take care and get well soon xx

Night all.

Pen xx

Susan, Doors are lovely thanks! Can't believe how much difference they've made and they're not even painted yet!

They've made the house feel much less dated

And they shut properly and don't rattle which might stop Mr Sezza moaning all next winter!

Sezza x x x

Fighting fit again now Susan, until I cough, but its becoming less frequent.

I have got to google Bergamo now.

Hi Pen, bye Pen :)

Right, I'm off to Bergamo.

Nice to drop in and see everyone.
