Friday 14th December 2012 – I ALMOST HAD …

… of shock today!

When this white Ford Transit came chugging down the lane, I thought at first that Terry had come to visit and not warned me. It was however Sophie the boulangère. Instead of a Saturday tournée, she’s now coming on Fridays.

And she was lucky that she caught me in too – I’d not long been back.

Earlier this morning I had been in Marcillat-en-Combraille radioing with Radio Tartasse. It’s the Radio Anglais rock music programmes for the month of February that I was doing and once again, it only took a very short while.

Mind you, much of that was due to the fact that the introduction for the live concert that I feature took a mere 20 seconds.

The reason for that was because, rummaging around in my drawers, I came across a live concert of “a well-known artist” which, when I’d edited it all together, came out at 59 minutes and 40 seconds.

That doesn’t leave much time to do an intro when you only have a 1 hour programme.

After that, it was non-stop on the Christmas Special for the rest of the day.

I reckon that I could have called a halt on this some time during the afternoon. There would have been quite enough, I reckon. But when you have the inspiration and the motivation, it’s best to keep churning it out, which I did.

It won’t be wasted of course, because there will be other years too, and if necessary I can use the stuff in other programmes.

But I’d rather have it than not have it that’s for sure.
