I remember Tony Blackburn from the days when my girlfriend and I arrived in London end of 1971 and he was on the morning slot on Radio 1 - was it? Â He had sick jokes that made us groan as we were trying to apply our makeup in the mirror over the gas fire!!

he's still telling the same jokes, but I kinda love them now.Â
I've always loved 'Stranger on the Shore' and would like that played at my funeral.
We saw him play in Somerset once when he was much older. It was one of those magical picnic in the park events followed by fireworks.
We've been busy this morning clearing up the debris on the drive which had been hosed down from the roof/gutters - buckets of the stuff mixed with the loose grey gravel. As it was mainly moss I chucked it into the bottom of the hedge as I didn't want it on my borders as a mulch. I got OH to help sweep as I thought it might be good to ease him back into 'normal' life. I'm not sure he thought it was good though! My DILÂ is coming to stay on Wed, arriving earlier than usual so she's going to give me a hand with a couple of garden jobs I can't do on my own, including lifting the greenhouse back into place.
Hope DD likes her new hairdo. A sunny veranda sounds super @Pat E, no wonder Pixel likes it as well.
Sausage and chips sounds good @Busy-Lizzie, haven't had sausages for months - I don't like the grill in my oven so rarely use it any more. I could oven bake a sausage dish I suppose.
Sounds like you had a lovely afternoon and evening @Busy-Lizzie. And a productive day for you @Pat E. I've been slaving over a hot laptop as usual, working on the programme for the Food & Drink Festival. Difficult trying to get all of the fringe events to fit on one page but have done it by stripping them down and putting the fuller information on a page on the website. And including a QR code - which works! Go me! This afternoon was the proclamation read by the town mayor, outside the big (redundant) church in town. Very pleasant in the sunshine and having a quick chat with the people I know. Strange to sing God Save the King. Even stranger for me as one of my ears is currently blocked and I could hear my own voice sounding very thin and wavery and old ladyish. In my next life I would like to be blessed with a good singing voice please. And longer legs.

TB was the DJ on the first R1 show 1967. Flowers in the Rain, by the Move, I believe, but can't be bothered to check.
