Valentine's Day...before
So today's the day of my date. Actually I'm a bit nervous because as much as this could be just a bit of radio fun, you never quite know do you? She really could be one? I have to say I have a soft spot for Scottish accents. Ever since the ginger haired one from Why Don't You?!
The girl in question is Shabana Baksh, actress from TV drama 'Waterloo Road'. The plan is lunch in Birmingham. It could be quite pleasant. I Can't believe Sonal from da news made such a fuss of my sweatshirt. I don't believe in the whole "...wear a shirt especially for a date" - see below. I think it's quite cool. Nice pair of jeans and trainers to go with it.
Off to London later. Out in Soho for drinks with the team from the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 2 Explore I presented. Should be fun. These things can either be relaxed or hard work.

Have asked Rishi Rich to be on standby. May ditch and join him for drinks and dinner later. I miss him. Last time I was with him we had a good old chat about the merits of feet. Yes, feet. We agreed that a good pair or should I say 'pher' really defined a good woman.
Ok, off to finish the podcast stuff. Should be a good one this week. He says. Check it out for yourself. The latest one should be up later this afternoon. We're in the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ podcast upload queue just behind Radio 4's Knitting Weekly.

I have some time before my date so may just grab a pedicure. You never know, she may just end up seeing my feet. Imagine this: restaurant flood = shoes soaked = shoes and sock removal = barefoot in the park = redford + jane fonda = jane fonda work out. Ahem.
Have a good weekend, love you all. Til Monday,
Adil

I hope ur date went very well because i actually think you guys will make a very cute couple! but i totally agree with sonal about ur outfit!! when you where talking about it i thought it would be slighty casual and smart but it turned out to be completely casual and looked kind of scary....

And i have now become of your morning show it is very amusing! and all of you guys compliment each other! x
