Yesterday was a long one. I arrived home (from the office, not a party) at quarter to one this morning, and immediately slipped into a hot bath with a mug of redbush tea.
Of course, that’s a stupid time to think of having a bath, but it was oh so relaxing, helped by the fact that the only thing on the talky stations worth listening to was the shipping forecast on Radio 4. Strangely therapeutic at that time in the morning.
After that a long and exceptionally comfortable sleep.
I’d told the others who’d been stuck there with me not to come in this morning, so in the end we all turned up at about the same time - lunchtime - to find the left over pancakes from last night sitting where we’d left them. They weren’t particularly good. Quite obviously the whole of Fitzrovia seemed to have sold out of the things, it being pancake night, and all I had been able to find - after bumping into Three Counties Neil in Sainsbury’s and then Tesco - was strawberry filled crepes that tasted like warm, damp Cornetto cones.
It was not an experience to repeat.

Yes, I worked with James. We did several handovers together when he was presenting Drive on a Thursday and Gordon and I were taking over from him to do the Lab. Scan the schedules and you’ll probably see him popping up on telly, too. I’ve seen him doing the comment type stuff on the news on Five from time to time.

Clive Bull and Steve Allen are good on LBC at night. While you worked at LBC did you know anything of James O Brian? He really rocks that guy, but they seem to use him as a holiday stand in only. Do you know if that’s his preferred way or if they wrongly think he’s not yet good enough for a permanent show.
