I’ve managed to keep my desk tidy for four days now, which is a record. I think. Spent much of the day with a printer strewn across it, testing how well it worked with a new Epson camera, but still shuffled everything back into place before the end of the day. Unfortunately the testing also necessitated a certain amount of running around Piccadilly Circus with two cameras, looking like a tourist. Most undignified.
The breakfast show trail went well. I was far more awake than usual this time around and by 7am was already out of bed and doing the washing up. The studio called at 7.20 so I left the glasses to soak and tried to remember what I’d revised on Andoran trademark regulations last night. It was a bit hazy until I remembered I’d marked up my notes with a red biro, after which most of it fell into place.
These trails always go so much quicker than you expect. Just like the show itself, actually.
The show went well. We strung a phone extention cable from the studio to the control room and plugged in a web cam, which got loads of people chatting on the instant messenger, which was good. I’d consider making it a regular thing, but carrying in the camera, notebook, phone extension and all the necessary leads and cables is a real pain, and quite heavy.
I’ll be doing the show on my own next week, which is always fiddly - usually I don’t have time to chat online at the same time. I’ll have to find someone with nimble fingers to do the typing for me. Or just stick with emails and calls.
Arrived home feeling tired and hungry, but ended up listening to Clive Bull for well over an hour with my Weetabix. I have no discipline.
