And not only that, we were actually told what we had to do! Now isn’t THAT a welcome departure from the usual? and we also know when we will be being broadcast.
Basically we have to do a 5-minute spot, and didn’t that cause some consternation? Have you any idea how quickly 5 minutes goes when you are busy? After recording the first programme we were there hacking away at the material we had in a (vain) effort to cut it all right down. But we managed just the same – it was a case of having to, but it’s depressing when all of your hard work falls onto the cutting-room floor.
And we are going onto the airwaves next Tuesday at 18:50, repeated on Wednesday morning at 08:50.
I spent the morning arranging things and as it was a nice day again I had the heater on up here. That’s getting to be a habit just recently, isn’t it?
And after we came back from the studio I went round to see Marianne – I haven’t seen her for a while. I enlisted her help for our radio show -she’s the local journalist so she gets to know everything that’s been going on and she owes me a favour- I let her use one of my photographs for an article that she wrote. She’s also keen to involve herself in this English-language newspaper that died a death and so I offered her my support. I hope she will wear it in comfort.
And the weather has deteriorated some more. Howling gales, devastating winds, and temperature in the heat exchanger of minus 11. It’s flaming March, for God’s sake.

I used to love all that tape on the cutting room floor Eric ,so romantic scrabbeling around for missing vowels and the like….now it all goes to digital heaven ..where ever that might be. I’m glad to hear that video hasnt killed the radio star.
Well thank you Mr (or Mrs) Papers. I’m glad you have enjoyed my work.
And in my day, Grahame, we used to scrabble around on the floor for lost songs LOL.
