Elton + Leon = Bliss.
What a song their new tune is. When Love Is Dying. How their voices complement each other. How the melody flows from one style to the next. Excellent and tragic I'm sure, if you are listening to it at a particularly pertinent time.
Oh goodness me, music. The magic it holds within and beneath, and sometimes in between, almost "un" heard - it's just there. Stop me before I go any further. I'm coming over all sincere. That's never good for a character like me.
In other news - back on The One Show tonight with that little Welsh hottie Ms Alex Jones.
See you there, or back on the radio tomorrow morning.

I love that song by Elton and Leon Chris, songs like this help us all get through bad times but are also great to listen to during good times. And also there is nothing better to lift the spirits than dancing to happy music, it's the best cure there is.
Looking forward to seeing you on The One Show tonight Chris. Which shirt will you be wearing, will it be a waistcoat or a jacket?

Thanks for all of your feedback on my first blog - ironically entitled the Tracks Of My Years, and all about the music that bookmarks pertinent points in my life.

As tempting as it would be to write to the company direct, I think I just need to walk away from it for my own peace of mind, and be more on my guard in future interviews. I also think that i I did that, the Agency who sent me there would drop me like a hot stone, and all things considered, they are one of the better agencies I ahve dealt with during this whole recruitment process.

For anyone interested, Mayo bloggers are having a meet up in Cambridge in May, I think a few Clp bloggers are going too.
If anyone wants more details, pop over the fence and enquire within or grab hold of me on fb.
Really excited about the prospect of seeing Chester again, bet its changed a bit, but luckily, some parts will remain the same, the walls, rows, down by the river, cathedral etc...

A Chester meet this year was talked about, I think it would be a great place to have one. Don't know if finances would stretch to Cambridge and Chester, as our main holiday this year is walking Hadrian's Wall, but we'll see.

Top post, Sir Chris. A life without music is no life at all. I also thought today's Pause for Thought was very excellent this morning, Canon Anne is great!
Anyone listening to the Gary Barlow concert? I like the man, but think the concert was quite poor. Not Gary's fault - some of the guests weren't quite up to par, I thought. I prefered his guest-presenting with Chris!
CG - I'm thinking of you lots too. When my beloved great-auntie was dying, I read to her from her favourite book - sometimes she could hear and sometimes she couldn't, but she went peacefully, and I will always be glad that I was able to keep her company during that time. Many hugs to you.
Deevs - loving your new blog; top stuff... newbie compared to JakeyG though, bit of catching up to do ;-) Am LIVID about what happened to you job-wise; it's utterly disgusting and in NO WAY legal. A similar-ish thing happened to me a few years ago and I felt completely sick with fury. Make sure you spread the word tactfully so that, hopefully, they can't do it again to some other girl. Jeez, what a revolting attitude to have.
But my anger doesn't stop there. Oh no.
MaddyM - I am VERY angry about the scuzz-bucket who seems to be lifting your internet credit. I had MAJOR problems with my ISP last year (not hacking-related, but equally frustrating) that went on for months. I am a patient girl, but can ONLY be pushed SO far. The final straw (among many, MANY straws) came when they took, without notice, £348 from my bank account. After several disconnected calls to the "help"line, I go through to a hapless call-centre bod, who put me on hold. The "on hold" music was The Nolans with "I'm in the Mood for Dancin'". I found myself in the mood for extreme profanity and Jasper and the surrounding wildlife were treated to a loud and exotic selection of frenzied swearing. I'm told that there is still a hippo in Botswana who still suffers with sporadic bouts of tintinnitus as a result. Anyway, Mads, take it from me. Don't muck about and go straight to the top. Find out the name of the ISP's Chief Executive and write to him/her in polite and accurate terms and ask for an explanation and suggested resolution. My misery with my ISP went on for months, but after I complained to the CEO the situation was resolved, apologised-for and all improperly-taken money refunded to me within a fortnight. Touch wood, I haven't had a problem since (neither have my parents, who have the same ISP and were part of the shambles too). Are you on Faceboot? PM me if there's anything I can do to help. x
Beaneygreen - Thank you SO MUCH for your kind comments about Jasper; they really made our day. I told Jasper you referred to him as "young pup" - his tail is STILL wagging!
LOTS of love to all,
Keep smiling!

Thank you for your support. I don't want to get too excited and start celebrating yet but I've been checking my account and it appears to be stable today and I do believe that they've sorted out the problem. Also I had a phone call tonight asking me as a valued customer if I was happy with the service (automated=1 out of 10 and 1 for yes and 2 for no) so I think that was their way of telling me that the job is completed.
I tell you phoning the call centre is no easy task. I was asked by many different people to explain the same problem many times while being put on hold between each one and listening to that music (they should play Hanging On The Telephone).
I became like a robot loudly repeating myself, I was like a female Basil Fawlty LOL.
Anyway I think all is well now but one call to the ISP should be enough!

CSN - Hello! How are you this evening? All fit and toned from your iron-acizes earlier... ;-) Sorry I haven't been back to you on FB yet; had a mad evening (no pun intended MaddyM)! Although I don't really go to church any more, I AM on the Parish Magazine committee and Jasper is a regular columnist (I once gave a talk on Jane Austen to the local Ladies' Group. They enjoyed it, but the clear highlight of the evening was at the end, during the Q and A bit, when someone asked me about writing generally and I mentioned that the 'Jasper' of the Parish Mag was MY Jasper - a very loud "ooooohhh!". I wondered why I'd bothered talking for an hour about Jane Austen after that; I could've wow-ed them with three minutes about a, frankly often smelly, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Poor Miss Austen). ANYWAY, I apparently have a new function at church? I recently offered to help out someone with putting together a poster for a church event. All well and good. Now then, I have often been suspicious of people who start sentences with "I thought it would be fun if you..." and now I think I understand why. An email arrived earlier this week from the person, which featured the following:
"I never got round to E-mailing your details to those who might need posters or fliers. I thought it might be fun if you designed a poster advertising your skills/poster/flier service and I could send this round!"
I have ALREADY had my first request!!! I looked in the mirror, but I don't think I could see the word "mug" tattooed across my face. And Jasper's been no help. He just sat there laughing at me.
I did sort-of enjoy the concert, GB is always good and a chap who genuinely deserves his success, but... I don't know. Perhaps it's me...!

feeling much brighter today and I have a game to play.
based on the theory that today is the first day of the rest of your life, what one thing today are you going to change?
I promise the blog ........
I will appreciate my husband more, he is a great person and I need him so much and yet sometimes I forget how wonderful he is so I will make moer of an effort to remind him how special he is.

It's good to see that everyone is very happy and upbeat today - hooray for Friday's. I too am off to do the food shopping straight from work, then to my bestest friends for dinner and to chillax in front of the tv and eat chocolate, which is what we do every Friday night!
Tomorrow I am off to the Cadbury's Coffee Shop (other chocolate is available, but not as tasty!) for afternoon tea with an old work colleague.
Maddy, Glad you sorted you computer problem out xx
