It's good to blog.
People read it, and occasionally, might even think you have a life as a result.
Which might go some way to explaining why, in what I can only imagine is a fit of desperation, I an email from a BBC researcher last night, inviting me on the Victoria Derbyshire show on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning.
They're doing a piece about work, and how we spend more and more of our time there. Apparently someone has done a survey which suggests that more and more of our friends are from work and since most of the people I spend my spare time with aren't people I work with, that's the angle I'm going to be talking from.
So if you want to hear me making a fool of myself, sounding like a sad anorak and entirely forgetting all of the voice training I did on Saturday (which I haven't blogged about yet), then either tune your radio to 693 or 909 MW, or listen online here. I think I'm going to be on between 10.30 and 11.
Update:
Well, that was fun.
For those of you who missed it, you can listen again here when they make this morning's show live. It starts at 1:47:00 if you want to fast forward through the show.
Alternatively, you can download wait until later, when I'll be able to post the 6mb mp3 of the segment that Adrian thoughtfully recorded for me.
Oooooh!
i will be listening on t'internet.
And you will be extraordinarily great, I am sure.
Woo! Congratulations!
I'll hang about after work for drinks, but I have an intense desire to not be around work colleagues in my spare time. Not that they're bad people (they a great lot, really), but they remind me of work.
Cool - I'm listening through my digital TV
You'll be great.
Oooh, you're very good.
Voice training well spent.
Hm, did she say McMeekin or McKeekin at the end though? ;)
Love yer accent girl.
Yeah, she said McKeekin at the end.
Still, she got it right at the beginning. So that's a 50% yay for the nice BBC lady.
I was so impressed she got it right first time. Bit of a shame she lost it at the end though.
Never mind.
I'm sure it'll be hilarious/horrific when I listen to it later.
WTG...
Thanks for your help on my Clapotis!
Woh... that sounded a little scary. THREE 'we're so girly and in love with each other, no, really' ganging up against you.
They sounded like clones and a little afraid of a bit of individualism.
Centre Parks Vs Photogrpahy.
Mmm - I would have loved to have seen the reaction on their faces when you mentioned the photos bit.
And yes, the voice was a litte... *seductive*
Cool! Twas neat to hear your voice from over the pond.....
And I am such a total blonde..when you first started talking, I thought, "That's not a British accent!" Sigh. Someone help me get home.
Good work, Pix!
So, trip to Centre Parcs, anybody? ;-)
Very nice. You sound nicely relaxed, and i think that's the main thing.
