It’s been a busy weekend and bank holiday. In fact, I’ve spent most of it working, except for a chilly afternoon in Helen’s back garden yesterday, the cinema last night, and lunch at mum’s today, followed by cake with Trevor and Jon, and then a long-overdue return to the gym.

The gym felt surprisingly good, actually. I thought it would have been nasty after *cough* weeks away on account of travelling and getting up early to work before work, but the treadmill felt comfortably familiar and I managed 50 minutes of running, jogging and eventually walking up a very steep hill, before coming home and emailing a French radio station.

Actually, that’s a bit of a lie. I emailed a Belgian radio station because it rather stupidly had the same name as the French one I’ve been listening to all weekend while I’ve been working. Ostensibly that’s because I’ve been convincing myself it’ll improve my French, but it’s back to back music, ’sans’ presenters, so I’ve probably learnt about two words in the whole three days.

Anyhow,

Bonsoir, equipe de Zone 80

J’ecoute de votre service toujours avec iTunes et desire demander o? c’est possible acheter une copie de Jam par Eddy Wata.

S’il vous plait excuse mon comprehension de la langue Francais. J’essayer de l’improve mais c’est pas trop bon a ce moment.

Merci

Not so bad, I didn’t think, although it could have done with a few more accents to make it look truly authentic. Let’s see who replies first - the Frenchies I was hoping for, or the Belgiumians who will probably be insulted that I mixed up their station.

Actually, they might be flattered. Looking at their web site it looks like the Belgian station is broadcasting from a table in the corner of a kitchen somewhere in Liege.

The station I actually wanted was this one.
