My Day? Excellent so far. Got up, couple of posts here over coffee. Cut the front grass and brought mower round the back but decided to wait till tomorrow to cut back grass. Instead, planted up the only four runner bean seedlings which have germinated so far, then potted on my Cucumber seedlings. Time for a well earned doze on my sun lounger and a bit of music... Headphones obviously.. not a PA set up like the antisocial bar stewards over the back.

Does anyone listen to it? Some presenters are taking industrial action due to changes in schedules. It is changing to a " local " radio station. I like listening to things about Nottingham not events in Derby, Leicestershire or Stoke.

Not like the good old days DJ i remember all the music and dancing on the Trent Embankment and the girls with their Dancette record players.

The only person I listen to on Radio Nottingham is Mark Dennison, he makes me smile and plays my kind of music, but he’s leaving the station anytime soon. I just can’t listen to any of the other presenters, they’re either very boring (Verity Cowley, talking about her children all the flippin’ time), or their voices grate on me, or they’re ‘too Nottingum’ I always have the radio on in the car and listen to Talk Radio or Talk Sport. I’d listen to Radio 2 if Terry Wogan was still with us.

It is odd that certain voices can be perfect for certain songs. I love ‘The Windmills of your Mind’ sung by Noel Harrison but can’t say he was a great singer.

He was probably referring to Esso Blue - dum, dum, dum!

The Handy Centre hadn’t got any. They told me ‘they’d stopped making it!’ There’s plenty at Homebase and B&Q so I’ll get some tomorrow. The excitement mounts! It’s more expensive than petrol but less volatile. If I’d got more patience I’d dig the bloody weeds out!

Just arrived home from Hospital after a check up on my new shoulder, 3 hrs for x-ray and 5 minutes with Doctor. All OK other than stiff body with sitting on terrible seats, thats it for another year.
