I was thinking I'd had quite a prolific month of blogging. This is blog number 19 this month but with tomorrow being the last day of the month I wont beat my current record of 23 blogs in a month. That was January this year. Now given I don't blog if I've not done a show it would follow that in that most depressing and cold infected of months I made my most radio appearances. My least productive being April with only 12 blogs. I have no explanation for this suffice to say my birthday falls in the middle of April. That could be it.

Is it acceptable to say on the radio, 'I'd rather have my ears bitten off by a rabid goat.'? Kinda tough if it isn't 'cos that was my response when asked if I'd like to interview Scouting For Girls. Well, just what is the point of Scouting For Girls?

I'm a tad peckish and there's another box of mussels in the fridge. Dare I? It's like being a member of a dangerous sports club. Think I'll give it a miss and have cereal. You know where you are with a flake of corn.

I was thinking I had a nice steady day today but I've got a phone interview to organise on Thursday's show (the very brilliant Chantel McGregor), a Yorkshire Day playlist to sort out and I'm hosting The First 45 for JJ on Friday and really should have some idea what I'm gonna play. I've been told it's to be a Springsteen free zone!

Now as you know I've always championed us pedestrians as free spirits. Not tied down by no entry signs. No keeping left for us. No parking here between 5:14pm and 6:27pm unless you have a permit signed by the Chief Llama doesn't affect us. (I spent a lot of time there researching affect or effect and think I got it right). BUT I'm fast thinking that the Pavement Code maybe long overdue. Someone walked into me today then claimed 'it was there right of way.' (I know it's their not there but they looked illiterate). And then some old couple just braking suddenly in front of me. A six pedestrian pile up was narrowly avoided. Sort it out people. If they bring in a Pavement Code it wont be long before this government latch onto a pavement tax.

Right, I'm off to glare at mussels.
