Loneliness is a thing called...

Chris Evans | 14:07 UK time, Thursday, 30 July 2009

... editing.

The book is totally finished except for one thing. A book is never finished - it can always be better and as long as they say I can tinker I will.

Been tinkering all morning to tell you the truth.

You have to be really hard on yourself and take a knife to anything that may even run the risk of holding the story up.

I spent four days writing one bit that I have just put a red marker pen through. It's good but it's not relevant. Relevance is everything when it comes to telling a tale.

The cutting room floor eh ?

Pass me the dustpan and brush before I change my mind.

Afternoon Chris,

The happiest days of my life were when I worked for a publishing company - great memories.

Whatever is written your true fans will love.

Catch you later on the radio.

hey there bigman

I assume this is an autobiography, or is it a book of tales from days gone by (same thing?)
Looking forward to October and finally be able to read it.

Any chance to coincide (sp) with the book release you could allow a sat channel to show re-runs of toothbrush???

Hi Chris, it must be difficult for you to take out stuff you originally meant to say, but sometimes, just sometimes - less is more.

Really looking forward to the book - top of my wish list at the moment!

And, Chris, I am totally with Gingembre: please give us Toothbrush. It was utterly brilliant, I now know - though as I have confessed in the past - I only saw the final two shows!

Hi everyone else, hope you are ok.

Also, thank you all for your cards, poems and best wishes...I'm missing you, I'm missing work, and Christophe, you're keeping me going!!!

Any road up guess where I've bin.

Took me car in to get serviced this morning, battled with torrential hailstones, if you please, on the M6/ M62, was like summat off Perfect Storm, expected George Clooney landin' on me bonnet in the sou'wester with a mazzard full a turbot; anyway, got to the garage and guess what. Lightning had struck the phone lines, chaos. Ergo surrounded by firemen, oh hurrah, thinks I. Things are lookin' up. So, quick-thinkin', I threw meself over the shoulder of one of the burly ones and claimed I needed to rescue me cat from the roof. Bugger the flyin' dreams.

And d'you know what. Them seats in the fire engine are a bit slippy, good job I was in the middle.

When i did the initial set up , i made it all pretty private. So, i couldnt do games and notes and stuff.It kept asking me to allow access. Sooo, now i have allowed access !! have i opened up a can of worms, or a whole new world ?

Evenin' all..

Just poppin' in to say what a great bloke Ian Wallace was on DT tonight.

Check out his website, v. interesting, simple and no mumbo-jumbo.

I was looking at the sleep paralysis thing. That's another thing that happens to me occasionally; whereby you wake up, feel fully conscious, but can't move a muscle. Not even your eyelids. I've often wondered what that's all about, and have never really had a satisfactory explanation. In fact, I've had a few people tell me it doesn't happen and I've imagined it; well now it all makes perfect sense.

Cheers Ian. Top man.

Hi Bridge

Just nipped back and there you were .....

The exercise is definitely kicking in - I feel fab, am sleeping better and I've lost a couple of pounds into the bargain! The walkingis free, the swimming 3.40 once a week so not breaking the bank either. I walked in the rain yesterday morning and it felt remarkably cleansing and putme in a good mood for the rest of the day.

No execise in the morning though. I've decided 3 times a week, Tues - thurs, is enough for now.

Thanks for asking, btw!

Reet, off to bed now.

Sunny in Kent this morning.

Now I don't know whether to be happy or worried?!!?? The noisy neighbours above me are moving out today - hooray I say. Although a very nice family, just a bit too stompy and door slamming for my liking. But will whoever moves in next be better or worse? Is it a case of better the devil you know?? Now just need the oik below me to move out and I'll be well happy. Or perhaps I should move to a detached house in the middle of no where then I'd be even happier!!

Best get on.

Have just had a big argument with our IT dept. They got us a new colour printer as our old one snuffed it, but are now refusing to order new toner cartridges for it, as they are too expensive...absolute numpties!!

Ali, good luck with your new neighbours!

Bridge, I think my visitors are doing their own thing over the weekend, apart from us all going out for a meal with MiL as well tomorrow afternoon. It's more a case of staying in our spare roomm rather than paying for a hotel! As long as they don't expect room service, I'm not too worried.

Just heard the sad news about poor Bobby Robson, bless him!
