Busy, Busy & My Apologies

Wow! A blog entry - it's been a while, far, far, too long in fact. I'm very sorry for this, but the truth is I've been bloody busy these past 9 days. I haven't really stopped to tell you the truth. The main thing that I've been up to is, of course, the dissertation, which has taken up rather a lot of my time of late. Since I lasted posted I've done four more interviews, all in the last 3 days. The rest of the time has consisted of meetings, transcriptions and general progress. In terms of word count, I've not dramatically upped it, but it is coming together nicely, and my tutor says it reads well and is interesting, so that can only be a good thing!

One of the best and most exciting things that I've done over the last week must be the creation of the tentatively titled 'Tuesday Club' where I have finally started seeing Pete reguarly. The general idea of the club is that every other week (except these last 2 Tuesdays) we will meet up in central london. It doesn't even have to be a Tuesday, just whenever we are both free. We meet up in a pub, have a few beverages, talk about radio, move to a Wetherspoons for food and cheap drinks, and talk about more radio. This week, for the second meeting, we had a guest, something which we aim to do each week, in the form of Mr Steven McIntosh, who met us in a pub in Great Portland Street, as he'd been at Newsbeat all day. We discussed life, radio, music and radio. It gives us all a chance to chat away geekily that we don't otherwise have. There are very few people who I can talk about radio to in depth who is as interested or as geeky as me! It truly is the highlight of my fortnight, especially at the moment with all this dissertation work.

I'm at work at the moment, and I must have done a lot of writing recently cos my wrist is hurting as I type this. This may well cut short this rather necessary blog. I blame the tiny keyboard in the studio.

I have hundreds of things to discuss, but alas I am in too much pain. Maybe I am out of practice. I'll tell you what, I'll write when I get back home, and I can tell you such exciting things as my trip Heart Milton Keynes, the Church of England, Birmingham, Traffic and Travel News, Finishing University, Capital FM and getting up at 3.30 am to go work.

All that, and more, later on.

Cheesy end.

You love it.

Ok, you don't.

Bye
