Today tomorrow

I've taken a rather circuitous route into the office this morning. Bike to office, walk to Kings Cross, tube to White City, tube back from White City, bus back to office. See, I was going to be on the Today programme but there was a collapsing bridge in Minneapolis that needed to be talked about (Anna is fine, phew).

I might be on it tomorrow, talking about cover design. I wasn't going to tell the internets because it made me a bit nervous thinking people might be listening, but heck. The real question now is what will I wear *tomorrow*? I've used up my allocation of just-bohemian-enough, just-smart-enough appearing-on-the-radio wear. Of course, it would be ridiculous for a person to have selected just the right pair of radio-going pants, so underwear selection won't be a problem...

I used to get up at 5.30 a lot when I had a proper job, but those days are long gone and my system is threatening to go on strike unless it gets artificial stimulants, stat. To the coffee machine!

//update - it has been rescheduled for 8.20am tomorrow. Eeek. Nobody ask me about it because I'm nervous.//

When I was on Open Book many years ago with a very famous historical novelist, she was wearing a bobbly sweater that looked just about ready for the charity shop, or a tactical offensive with a razor at the very least!


Just wear the same stuff again...it's radio, not smellyvision!

Clean pants though.

Love J


Congratulations! Just as Fay W seems to be the the Today programme's resident writer, I look forward to your becoming their resident publisher, whom they wheel in to comment on publishing matters (and rather more peppily than Ms W.)


couldn't hear what you were wearing, but sounded all good sensible stuff! (but what is Fay Weldon on??)


I wore: stupid high heel boots which made my feet ache, jeans, a faded blue-green top that has a thick waistband and drapes nicely, and a dusky pink cardigan. And a blue stone and pearl necklace that Andy gave me. And mascara, which doesn't happen often. And fresh pants.
