Laura's been telling Danny her Venus story. It involves her and her student pals dancing to the Bananarama song in a nightclub and pretending to shave themselves. On a podium. In Chester. Like Hollyoaks.
(Mrs A reports much movement from the Spawn this afternoon. He or she is definitely a wriggler, and you can often see it squirming around like some sort of alien infestation. Bless.)
Anyway, we're fast coming to the end of our time on Radio Verulam's Drivetime show, with just Laura and myself from the Herts Ad team left in the offices. Natalie's had to head out to investigate a suspected stabbing at a nearby shopping precinct, which is news as it happens, and not the usual sort of thing which happens on a Friday afternoon.
Ahhh! My iPod did come in handy after all, if only to play House of the Rising Sun to mark the birthday of one of the Animals. Will soon be discussing some of the films showing on TV this week... My choices are Con Air, The Day After Tomorrow, Tomorrow Never Dies, Hannibal, Cast Away and I Am Legend...
Running a regional newspaper is a full-time job, involving long hours, commitments in the local community and a general inability to ever switch off . Just like being a father. Juggling the two should be fun then...
What's it all about?
I've been a journalist for almost 20 years, and in that time I've jumped out of planes, interviewed Prime Ministers and visited warzones, all of which is a piece of cake in comparison to being a new dad. This is me, desperately trying to juggle my role as local newspaper editor with my impending responsibilities as a new father, and determined not to fail at either. D-day is May 23, and after that, nothing will be the same again...
