Radio Stradbroke Sunday Sessions

Well, a mix-up in diaries meant I got to do my second solo show in this season of Radio Stradbroke’s Sunday Sessions, and the three hours just zipped by. I managed to play 39 tracks in 3 hours, 13 tracks an hour. Now that’s what I call music. Like I said on air “Radio Stradbroke – less talk, more music.”

Thanks as always to all who listened and sent messages through all sorts of social (and unsocial) media.

I can’t say I met anyone exciting walking there or back, nor that I observed a guerilla war between leaves and men. I can say, though, that the weather was gorgeous, and that I love the freezing cold when the sun is out and I don’t have to risk getting wet.

This afternoon I’ve put up some outside Christmas lights on the buddleia athe back of the house, chopped more things down in the drive, written 500 more words on what will now definitely be known as The Failed Assassin rather than 31 Days of Shade, and brought the washing in. Oh, and emptied the cat tray. Next things on the list are writing more words and putting up the podcast of today’s show.

Meanwhile, here’s the running order, with the durations of the tracks, just in case anyone’s as geeky as me and tried to plan running orders to the second. I think I only overran by about 90 seconds today. Good job there wasn’t a newsreader sitting there waiting.
