After many many years of waking up to radio four, I am experimenting with radio two. Reckoned Thought For The Day and Women’s Hour  may be having a detrimental  effect on my mood/approach to the day. But so far (and its only been five minutes) like I am being repeatedly hit with a jolly stick right in my jolly face.

I have committed myself to cleaning the flat and going for a run. Today. I am writing this because it makes it more likely to happen. I may as well be attempting the North Face of the Eiger without appropriate footwear whilst carrying an angry fat child.

I’m not sure if that’s how you spell Eiger. I’m not much of a mountaineer I guess.
