One of the things I like about blogging is that if I announce something on here then I'm quite likely to do it. Wheras if I say I'm going to do something in real life it's a virtual guarantee that nothing will happen.
So here are a couple of intentions: since there seems to be competing demand, and I'm lazy, I'm going to do alternate weeks of video diary thing and audio podcast thing. With the occasional interview thrown in. It would really help me do this if you could send me some questions via that 'send me an odeo' button on the right. Seriously.
Also, if I'm doing the audio podcast thing does anyone have any music that they've made that they wouldn't mind my sticking on that. I'd love to broaden the ear-terrain a little, I know quite a few of you make music - anyone up for it?
I really enjoyed Coffee Morning One, so I/we will be at the Breakfast Club again on Friday, but the following week I'm going to be in Manchester, so does anyone fancy joining me for Coffee Morning North (FAC 452) on Thursday morning - the 13th? Can anyone suggest a venue?
Er, that's it. Oh, except the picture above is of some excellent cakes that Anne made for the school fair. Good, aren't they?
I do make music of the electronic variety. Not sure if that's what you are after. Im happy to (try and) custom make some music if theres anything you want.

I'll take anything you've got, that you don't mind me putting into one of my podcasts. I'm keen to hear what everyone's doing.

I don't mind at all, i'll put a webpage up with download links to the tracks I think you might find useful.
If you want to hear a few bits first then go to: http://www.myspace.com/fireflowermusic
Or, like I say, if there's anything particular you'd like I'll have a go at making it.

I've also found that if I announce something on the blog then I'm more likely to do it. Which is annoying because last week I stated I'd run a marathon in the next couple of weeks... (doh! just did it again).
Hoping to make coffee morning this week.

I'll try and make Manchester on the 13th, no venue suggestions though, sorry.

If you're coming to Manchester by train you could always go to Zest Cafe. It's a nice little cafe that serves great smoothies (not sure if they're your thing). It's on the walk way up to Piccadilly.
I'd love to come to it but unfortunately I shall be at work.
mmmm those cakes look tasty.

Hello Russell! While I do not make music my little brother does and I'd love to e-mail you some of his tracks as I understand you're looking for some fresh tunes. What is your e-mail address to do this? Myself, I'm trying to break into the wonderful world of planning which is how I know of you and your fantastic blogs! I also dabble in world of jewelry as a designer of one of a kind pieces that can be seen on my website. Keep up the extraordinary work as many of us look up to you and follow your posts religiously.
