Monday 5 February 2007

A beautiful clear sunny day: amazing colours in the sky and on the ground, on the drive to and from Perth. Not that I was driving: Andrew kindly offered to be my driver for the day, so that I could be a cosseted precious soloist, complete with fresh fruit, shortbread and Belgian chocolate biscuits in the dressing room. Special thanks to the kind audient who supplied this joke: 'What's the difference between an organist and a terrorist?' 'You can negotiate with a terrorist.'

Hooray, I played a solo recital in another city after taking my kids to school, and got back home about 10 minutes after they did. If there was more than one train an hour, I could even have done it on public transport.

And hooray, Charlie Brooker's back on BBC4.
