I seem to be turning down far more broadcast work than I’m doing at the moment. I was supposed to be doing an hour on Talksport this lunchtime, talking about online shopping - advice, safe places to do it, and so on.

It’s such a tired subject I’m quite glad I turned them down in the end, but wasn’t around to see who they’d managed to get, as the real reason I’d said no was that I was heading around to see Mark and Ja with strawberries and chocolate, ready for pancakes.

This year’s pancake day seems to have gone on for a week and a bit.

Fortunately - knowing us all far to well - Mark had covered the kitchen carpet in an old duvet cover. Just as well, as Mark P ended up flipping one straight out of the pan and onto the floor.

The next one looked like scrambled egg.

Between us we managed to come up with some good ones, though (and a few that didn’t stick to the pan) and then settled down to watch last night’s Eurovision qualifying round. I actually saw it last night, not realising we’d be watching it again, although hadn’t seen the outcome. They were all miserable efforts, but at least the least bad one won through in the end.

I don’t think it’ll be another nul points year for the UK, but I can’t see us doing much.

Got gabbing to Alison about Poland, remembering just before I left that she’d been there a few years ago. Seems it’s not the place to be going for more than a few days, but then if I do it by train it makes Warsaw an eminently sensible turn-around point with a two night stop-over.

Just need to decide on the stopping places in each direction if I go for it in the end.

Ho hum.
