Crikey!

Listening to Jenny Kendall-Tobias, who is my evening entertainment on a weekday. Her guest is a writer and they are discussing haiku. They whip up one on air and launch a competition - send them in via fax or email.

Hmmm, I think, and quickly think of one to raise a smile:

A spring in my step
Listening to Jenny although
The world lies between


And just as I hit the send button, I hear:

"I'm expecting some Australian entries, if you're listening, Peter."

In the nick of time!

Hello on your Blog

Jenny popping in to say hello while the play's on. Glad to see you're still enjoying the show. Laters, JK-T.

Hi, Jenny!

I was in a hurry and counting on my fingers. I'll have to recalculate....

Or Jenny -> Jen

I've submitted both versions.

Currently trying to convince Tessa P that flying from Toronto to San Francisco via Miami is a much better idea than Chicago.

You reminded me, so I'm listening to the show now. For the life of me I can't find the link to send feedback, so I can't say hi.

Jenny.Kendall-Tobias@bbc.co.uk will get you there. Doesn't she have a delightful voice? If you are still in London, perhaps you could pop over and say hello!

I've just worked out that I'll probably catch Yoko's cold via you in Dunedin next week.

Ah, the heady days of international travel...

...swapping colds all over the planet. :)

Have a great time in Dunedin!

A bit like pre-school, I suppose!

What a lovely pair you have!

Pete, looking at your userpic

Why, thank you!

I think they're pretty damned cute myself. :) That photo is a couple of months old, so Nell's looking different now of course (she can sit up unsupported and is commando crawling all over the place).

And, yes, Nell started daycare this year and has so far brought home two tummy bugs and one nasty headcold. Pretty impressive rate for 5 weeks worth of care! (And she did share the bugs with us. Gah.)

I'm really looking forward to getting broadband next week so I can listen in too!
