It’s Sunday, which means I have to be at LBC to present London this Week. It’s Sunday, which means it’ll rain from the moment I leave the tube until the point I arrive at ITN, and probably do the same - only harder - on the way back home.
Sure enough, the weather lived up to expectations.
I arrived early enough to read the papers in time for the first interview, which was slated for recording at eleven. Found, instead, that I’d been robbed of a producer by problems with teeth, so settled down with coffee and toast to write my cues and look scour the net for gossip on my guests.
The morning flew by, as it always does, the recording went well, and my theme was playing before it felt it should. With ads and promos were running about four minutes late, but we dropped in the recording, and picked up time on the rest, which was all live, and as it turned out pretty much everything was just the length it ought to be.
Headed off to Oxford Street to buy Christmas cards and wrapping paper once I’d done, but got myself distracted by shiny objects in the shops and finished off the Christmas shopping, which is a good thing. It rained, of course, all afternoon.
Now all I need to do is wrap. And write the cards and post them.
And make my paper chains.

- Al Gore, 54, the man who won 500,000 more votes than George ‘W’ Bush at the last election yet was denied the job he deserved by the so-called ‘Supreme’ Court has decided not to run for the job in 2004.
- Jerry Springer Christmas Special on TV this evening after The Hand that Rocks the Cradle finished. Mother tells her son she’s sleeping with his wife. She gives him a wrapped nightdress - the one she wears when she sleeps with his wife.
