Wrong BBC Headline

I think the BBC are running the wrong headline to go with the chosen picture...

Surely the fact that the clock tower at Westminster Palace is falling down should be the major news? Big Ben is going make quite a clang if that lot falls...

Brisblog? Lonblog?

This blog depends on an important factor, me being in my hometown of Exeter. Over the next couple of days Ivonne has interviews in Bristol and London, and should she get one of them we will pack up and move. I will try and get a transfer, if that fails then I will fall back on a plan B which as yet I have not formulated.

Of course she may not get either of these jobs, and a job will come up elsewhere in the future, or even a job in Exeter or near by, at this stage who knows!

Whatever happens the reality of moving city is starting to hit, it makes me excited and nervous all at the same time.

Things will become clearer in the next few days and weeks, but this could be the end of exeblog, and my life in Exeter, and the start of something new!

Just a Minute

Yesterday afternoon we embarked on a mad afternoon to London, our friend Dave kind drove and got tickets for a recording of Radio 4s Just a Minute. So after a morning at work we drove up to London, parked up in a side street and got the tube into Oxford Circus to Broadcasting House.



It seemed surreal that in the morning we were at work, and then a few hours later standing on the pavement in London queueing to get into the home of BBC Radio. Two shows were recorded featuring Paul Merton, Clement Freud, Josie Lawrence and Jack Dee. It was very very funny and I can't wait to hear how they edit it all down into two half hour shows.





We then went for a bot of a wander to soak up some of London, and then set off home. Unfortunately we got stuck in a nightmare traffic jam on the M4, a serious accident closed it for at least 45 minutes and people (we men) resorted to getting out their cars and trying to ascertain what had happened up front!

Eventually we got home just after 2am, and I have been just a little tired at work today!

A great day out though, thanks to Dave for driving us all the way there and back - despite the late night I can't wait to do it again soon!
