Forgetful Me

I didn't bloody post did I? And after promising all those enticing subjects as well?

Sorry to all.

Anyway, today has been a struggle, as I've spent most of it transcribing my interview with John from IPSOS yesterday, which was a great interview, which meant more transcribing. Oh well, it's done now, and I can switch off for the day more or less now. I just hope my wrists don't start hurting again. They've been fine today.

So where did I leave off yesterday?

OK, the Church of England. I now do some freelance work for the Church of England, which not only could get me excommunicated, but coupled with Classic FM, makes my CV look like it belongs to a man of 50. It is bizarre. The job is tech-opping their studio for client training days, where they just need me to set up levels and record them basically, and there's a little bit of camera work as well, which I've done before, so that's interesting. The work is very irregular, with some weeks being quite busy, but then there being nothing for 3 weeks, but the pay is pretty good, and anything that keeps me out of the pub can only be a good thing!

Last week, also saw Denis and I going to the impressive Northwood FC, to see Watford Ladies v Arsenal Ladies. Interesting, to say the least. Despite us watching a football match, we spent more time talking about how fit the Arsenal keeper is/was. Arsenal won 1-0 and that was their 108th game unbeaten. This incredible run was stopped abruptedly on Sunday when they lost 3-0 at home to Everton.

I did my first shift at Capital last week too, starting at a lovely 2am, which was really 1am due to the clocks going forward. This produced some entertainment in the form of the analogue clock having to go at double time to catch up, and finally telling the right time at 3am! The shift was all right, and I'd like to do more if the opportunity comes up!

I also mentioned I would speak about Birmingham. Well, other than the fact that it's England's second city, I'm not gonna mention what I was gonna talk about. Not yet anyway.

On Monday on this week, I spent the day with Joe Rudd, and we were actually in Dunstable studio that used to house Chiltern Radio, but is now a Heart station. Joe's studios in MK are being sorted out because they have structural problems! It was call to sit in on his show, help with show content, and hang out with him. Whilst I was there I was able to do three interviews for my dissertation, which was awesome.

Right, next, traffic and travel - I have applied for a job to present traffic and travel news at Trafficlink, and I'll see if I hear back from there soon.

Final point to make is the fact that I'm gonna have to get up at 3.30 for work at the end of this month as I cover the Brighter Breakfast at Classic. It's quite a busy show, with a live presenter, but down ISDN, which will be interesting.

Right, that's you up to date. I will endeavour to blog again later.

Take it easy
