Ok, that was officially the weirdest and definitely quickest two weeks I have EVER had off.

Chris Evans | 09:48 UK time, Monday, 19 October 2009

What a non-stop whirlwind of dates, deadlines and where to be's and when to be's. Just beginning to recall what we got up to starts to fill me with a mild panic:

The book tour - London to Glasgow and, Leeds, Southport, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol and Cardiff in between.
The Jonathan Ross Show, London.
Saturday Kitchen, London.
The Ryder Cup Launch, Cardiff.
Quick break with the clan, Portugal.
The Cheltenham Literature Festival, er - Cheltenham.
And then last night back home for an early night, before back on the road again now on the way into town.

But did I love it ? Of course I did. Every second was a blast.

Drive Time has taken on an air of nostalgia already as this really is the home straight before we bid it farewell. A show that has been so good to me, responsible for getting my career back on track, not to mention my life.

Let's polish it for all it's worth between now and Christmas - and yes there is still talk of a special send off for the old girl.

    Welcome back Chris!

    It's always a strange world when you're away but it was great to have the blogs during your book tour. I'm soooo looking forward to your move to breakfast time and yet will be sad to see Tel go and also have no idea how I'll take to the new stylee drive-time.

    I've not quite got the twitter thing and don't think it will be something I take to at this point in my life when things are about to take on a whole new direction but you seem to be making lots of the bloggers happy with your tweeting so more power to your elbow squire!

    Another weekend gone and I managed to get through another footy match, just a shame it was a 0-0.

    Morning,

    Phew Chris, I'm worn out just reading about your past fortnight. Glad you had a blast though - welcome back and I can't wait for 5:05pm xx

    I had a brilliant day yesterday at Chessington World of Adventures (other theme parks are available). The weather was beautiful, a lovely autumnal day, sun was shining but a nip in the air. Went on loads of rides, which I usually hate but plucked up the courage and laughed and screamed my way through the day! A great day with some great friends ;)

    Sorry to those that are feeling poorly and I hope you get better soon xx

    Boss is coming in in a minute, so I had to rush out and buy a cake as it was his birthday on Saturday and I completely forgot...whoops!

    Morning All,

    Good to have you back Chris - and what a busy bee you have been!! I always find the more you enjoy life....the quicker it goes by!!
    And when I'm toddler free for the morning with a long list of jobs of course!!!!

    I'm trying to ignore the last few boxes of general 'stuff'......hoping they will just find their own places in time! And waiting arrival of a fourth bookcase.......

    Hi Chris, it was nice to meet you in Cardiff. The book is an interesting read, and thank you for signing one for our auction in November.

    I hope you liked "All you need is love"

    No doubt will bump into you on twitter from time to time. It's a bit infectious, especially on days in the office working on the computer.

  • Comment number 9.

    Morning All - a lovely sunny one again - hope it lasts (not according to the weather forecast - boo)

    Such a whirlwind tour Christoph - but you looked like you enjoyed it when I saw you in Birmingham. Chatting to the folk in the queue they commented on what a happy chappy you were.

    Big hugs to the poorly and over busy bloggers ((((()))))

    Chris,

    Welcome back and sounds like you had a great time. I'm really loving the book - easy to read, enlightening and entertaining. Looking forward to being cheered up at 5.05. I need to be - I shall be unemployed on October 31st :(

    nic - thats not great news - however I seem to remember you are a fellow bean counter and if I can get a new job this year then so can you - best of luck and check out www.gaapweb.co.uk for all the jobs in your area!

  • Comment number 13.

    Hey CLP,

    I love your twitter too - it is great to hear from you even when I can't hear you on the radio!! I have enjoyed the drivetime ride with you too. In fact it brought me more firmly into Radio 2. I am also a TOG - in fact Hellenbach told me as I was a devotee to both of you I was a Blog TOG. I am actually quite looking forward to having you in the morning - oops I mean having you on in the morning.

    Thanks for all the holiday advice over the weekend. I will wait until the money is in my hands and then look for a bargin but am feeling much more conifdent about booking a holiday as a single parent.

    Have a great day everyone - catch you later.

    Catherine

    BTW - if anyone wants to link with me on twitter including CLP it is @thecatmel

    CLP, you've been getting about a bit eh? Glad to see you managed a sneaky jaunt to Portugal in amongst all that!

    AliB, where I work, if it's your birthday, you buy the cakes. Is it different with you??

    Nic, hope you find your feet quickly!

    Ah Christophe, I've missed you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Between you and the comedy channels is all that's been keeping me going lately. Well, apart from the love of a good man, and the love and support from all my friends all here, near and far. Glad you had a great time at all your things (shame you didn't get to do one in Brighton though eh)...and CHRISTMAS AIN'T FAR AWAY!!!

    Anyhoo, I'm back doing minimal part time hours (again) and I'll try to pop by when I can, and trying to build up my strength for the Pool...

    ...and with regard to twitter, I can never remember what I signed on as, and I think all the permutations (get me) of my name has been used by now, so I shall have to have a re-think.

    I also have to pick ALL the white bits of oranges too.

    Nic, sorry to hear that, hope you get sorted soon.

    V happy bunny, booked flights home for Christmas yesterday! Hurrah!! And I will even be home for the 23rd... just got to work on himself for a day out in London....!

    Not so happy bunny, himself came home with a cold (manflu) on friday, now I have that ominous scratchy throat and tickle in the ears.... grrr.

    Hi Chris:

    Welcome back - can't wait to hear a wee bit of drivetime tonight - I only ever get to hear the last half hour - bums! What a fantastic two weeks you have had - would probably kill a lesser mortal!

    Nic #11: sorry to hear the news about your job - fingers crossed, there will be something out there for you. x

    Baggy #18: I agree about Humpty Dumpty! Of course, when reciting it to a child, it's all to do with the tone of the voice, and it's a jaunty wee ditty .... I said, ditty! However, I must confess that I did change some of the details when I was reading my daughter Hansel & Gretal - I really did think that was a step too far!

    Hazel #21: wonderful to see you back on the blog! Hope you are feeling better. And, yes, whatever happens get your strength back for Liverpool - I think you are going to need it!

    Hello again smiley peeps.

    Busy Beez again today. I'm with you AF - certainly no time for twittering - don't go on fb in daytime for same reason, although I do send a load of e-mails!

    Nic - hope something turns up for you very soon. You could always consider being a self employed bean counter? although praps not - working for yourself is a pain!

    MC I've had sun and blue sky all morning - been lovely but in the last half an hour - black clouds are hurtling up from down the road - dare say they will be with you in time !!

    Take it steady HL - don't want you overdoing it before you get to Pool.

    Howdy to all else and cuddles for the sniffly persons (())

    Gonna take my ranty pants back and have two rants ........

    Why do the builders next door but one have to cut up so many concrete blocks when the wind is in the direction of my car !!
    AND went to h/base - other diy stores etc yesterday and they have sectioned off the part when they put the "C" stuff - it was all there!! waiting to be put together - trees - lights the lot !!! It's the middle of October for goodness sake.

    Loved the postings on FNWC..so much so that i found the synth brittania prog repeated and have set cloudplus to record it.. cue GM and me singing loudly, and badly, at the top of our voices..we will prewarn you dont worry!

  • Comment number 37.

    Welcome home, Christoff!! How on earth do you cope with all that tooing and froing!? Did Tash and Noah enjoy having you on hols? It's hard going back to work after a break, much as you enjoy your job! But, bills must be paid and, in your case, folks must be entertained!!

    Our baby Highland Lass took her first steps yesterday, at just over 12 months old, and where was I?? Yup, at work in the rehab - talk about gutted!! There was I helping poor souls so intoxicated they couldn't walk and my baby is at home trying hard to walk herself!! Our babies grow up too fast! I'm all for this not starting in education until the age of 6! Works for the Scandinavian countries!

    Anyhoo - looking forward to having you back at the wheel of Drive Time for the *sniff* last leg!!

    Thanks for all your words re my job (or lack of). It's appreciated.
    I have considered being a self-employed bean counter but fear getting my own accounts wrong - how embarrassing would that be?!

  • Comment number 39.

    Nic - I know how you feel - I do tax returns for me and him and pray every year that i get them right ;-)

  • Comment number 40.

    First up, I ought to apologize for my little tantrum on Friday.

    Some days, you just shouldn't stick your head above the parapet, and Friday was one of those for me.

    Needless to say, I karma got the better of me, and I was a little crook - that is to say I wasn't well, not that I turned into the Artful Dodger - on Saturday. Better yesterday, then just as I was about to step out the front door this morning I caught the traffic news telling me that just about every step of my journey had descended into vehicular chaos, so off with tie, into t-shirt and jogggers, and I have worked at home today. Acually, that isn't entirely true, I don't usually wear a tie, but if I said 'off with the shirt' you'd have suddenly painted an altogether different picture of where my day was heading.

    Sorry to hear about the job Nic, but as Baggy says, folk will always want their beans counted, so we always do OK in the end. Best of luck.

    Looking forward to the return of our wandering hero, albeit for the final leg of this journey that we have all come to know and love as Drivetime.

    And, looking forward to the announcement tomorrow. US Rock? 'afoot'? Hmm, something to do with the supergroup I saw back in the summer? I hope so....

    Peace + love

    MfR

Broken something further down the street that apparently took 5 vans to fix..parked outside my house, on the opposite side of the road to my house and varicose other places...couldnt get on drive forwards or backwards. Having had a long,busy day at work i was not amused and went to tell them...needless to say i`m now prob referred to as `that miserable cow at no. xx!`

    My my !! we are all early birders tonight aren't we? My eyes are shutting too - Mind I do turn in to a hedgehog in winter - hibernate I should - hate the dark nights - my body clock keeps me awake until the wee small hours in the summer but in the winter......

    Still to pick up my Julie's book Seza - plus a few others purchased for me as pressies last year but Chris's book I was saving for this week-end - now going to be devoured!!

    Loli ! I agree - I tried - really I did - but the cd went on in the car ! brilliant to have Chris back tonight.

    Beezer xx smiling of course!

    Take it steady JG - you are on a break!
    With Mary too (looking forward to meeting you in Pool) - congrats Foxy!!!

    Helloooooo.

    Just had a quick flick through to see if anyone picked up on the fact that Christophe thinks that the blog seems a bit antiquated now that he has started Twittering!!

    ANTIQUATED !! ( or however its spelt ) How very dare you CLP, we are all in our prime, as is the blog.

    Look how many posts we have put on here since your last show!! Over to you Tiggs.x

    Had a really busy old day.

    MTF I really shouldn't catch up on games then come back here! Where did you see Chris thought blog antiquated? You twittering? Nooooo - can't be doing .. no time!!!

    Beezer xx

    Did you see bolt hole out the window?

    BTW - listening to Birmingham Gold - presented by Dean Martin! (no not That DM ) for those in to 50's 60's 70's - even 80's stuff!!!

    Evening all,

    I'm not sure that antiquated is the right word.

    It's certainly less instant and definitely more brief.

    However - it's more call and response whereas this old bus is more of a conversation.

    I do absolutely love the interaction between Chris - the show - and his fans.
    I just hope he doesn't give too much of himself away - these new forms of media tend to be extremely addictive!

    I do agree with the addicted tho Rips - someone I know hit twitter and I got a bit ignored for a while!!!! Refused to go there - Couldn't see the point!? Now lost interest and back to the conversations - which is rather nice when you want to say more than - just had toast and coffee - Oh My - how interesting!!!!

    Beez xx

    Well whatever a scratcher is, I'm off to mine now, its just been one of those days.

    Had my half an hour wind down after getting home, off up the stairs I go.

    Rips - Lyndy is due on the 30th - still a wee while to cook but not long!!!!

    I can see your point Beez, but if you followed Chris for a week you'd be hooked.
    Don't see much point in following my mates for the reason you gave...but the celebs I follow generally have interesting thoughts to publish.

    Loads of the Rugby fella's are on it now and the banter between them is worth joining for alone!
