Still Buzzin' From All The Love and Good Vibes

Chris Evans | 15:04 UK time, Monday, 6 July 2009

Say Hi everyone, Peter Fonda says...

... Hi

blog_060709.jpg

This is how the four days of Drive time Children in Needing culminated this year as the winning bidders said goodbye to their trusty piston powered Italian Stallions with a run up the famous Goodwood Hill Climb, Peter was there to take an easy ride up the hill. I also had am amazing conversation with him about his good friend "Jimmy" Coburn and the car of his that I bought last year. Peter said he'd been in it many times and that "Jimmy" loved that car - a real thrill for me to hear this from one of the great man's best friends.

Four days of non-stop driving, eating, smiling, chatting but oops very little sleep.

The thing is sometimes when you're doing things for all the right reasons, the energy just keeps on coming. I love driving and I love my cars but this morning I would have been happy not to see a road or any set of wheels for a couple of weeks - not to be however as I left my wallet in one of the cars which ended up in deepest darkest Essex so I have just completed another four hour spell behind the wheel before arriving here at the mighty Radio 2.

Can't thank the listeners enough who pledged the dosh for the Dine and Disco and of course the Car Caper, and for the first year this year I remembered to enjoy it instead of worrying all the time. Really, honestly and genuinely can't wait for next year, we are thinking about the details already.

Thanks to everyone involved big love to you all, almost half a mil to the kids, you've got to pat yourselves on the back for that one.

CLP 2009.

XXXXX.

    Hi Chris

    Glad you had a good weekend and well done on all the money raised for the kiddies. You is 'da man xxx

    I had a wonderful weekend quietly celebrating my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary, which in this day and age is a fantastic feat. Yesterday my Dad gave me and my Mum a guided tour of Cambridge as he relived his university days - it was good to share that with him. They are only in their 70's but none of us know how long we've got - so live each day to the full I say and take time to listen to the oldies as they depart their wisdom xx

    Have a great show and evening.

    Half a million quid is an awful lot of dosh! Rather puts my weekend efforts into perspective. ;-( Still from little acorns and all that. ;-) Well done everyone! ;-))

    Looks and sounds like evryone at the drive and disco had an awesome time, and half a million quid raised is a even more awesome result. It's fab how even in times of recession people still dig deep for a worthy cause.

    Hi Chris,

    well done on raising so much money for Children In Need. Sounds like you had a good weekend but now need some sleep!!

    Sleep tight!!

    Hi Dee - Thanks for a nice day and for all the good advise from you and your Mrs. I'm off to bed, I'm sure I'll sleep well - hope you do too.

    Lots of love,
    Madi

    Madi,

    Sleeping alone!!

    I had to for a long time while things were settling down. Didn't do my psyche any good.
    What the hell, it was bloody terrible.
    An outsider in your own house.
    Sounds like a comedy - a tragic comedy at that.

    Still haven't thought of something to blog about!!

    Well I'm sleeping alone too tonight, cos my hubby is on call, and has been working since 7.30 this morning, got home at 4pm, had a quick shower and some food, and had to be out again at 7.30! He's not home now, and won't be for some hours yet!

    And he's due in work tomorrow at 7.30am

    So if your hubby/partner is in the the house tonight, be thankful!!

    Hi All,

    Chris - The cars looked fab, as did you and Peter Fonda, and the stories today were good...........oh for a win on the lottery (don't do Premium Bonds!) like Vera - I would make sure I was bidding for next year!!!!!!!

    JG - I'm with you on Torchwood.......so good, told all my friends not to phone me between 9 and 10 this week, as I won't answer the phone...............can't reach it from behind the sofa!

    Must head to bed, and WILL only read one chapter of my book (Book two of the Genghis series by Conn Iggulden)...

    Keep smiling and always think on the bright side of life!!!! Still looking for it from my perspective.

    Morning Madi,

    Good to hear that you are feeling well!! I am about to go and make the lady of the house a cup of tea as she is still having a lie down.
    Have you turned a corner or are there still thoughts that seem to invade your space. Sue said that she was unable to acknowledge these thoughts even though they were there. Thankfully, all gone now and happy as a result.
    Keep your chin up and look after those who matter - you know who they are!!
    Have a great day.
    Probably off the blog for the day as there is a life without blogging!!

    Madi - glad you have got the sun because my drive this morning from NWales to Shropshire has been vile!

    Had to paddle to the car and then float it out of the car-port and it absolutely tipped it down all the way in. It's pouring now!

    Plus had to have the light on in the bedroom this morning, to put the 'slap' on.
    I thought this was the summer???

    Have a good day, everyone.

    Its cold enough today that I've put me cardi on at work - whats that all about?

    Mind full of life questions today - was all that about - I would have thought with work and the wedding and everything else it would have been busy enouogh - but noooooooooo - I'm thinking about some of the big deep questions - won't share them as quite dark but if anyone knows how to stop them (without medication or alcohol) I would be grateful!

    Morning blogpeeps!

    Will try to catch up with the posts over the past few days soon.

    Have a very exciting day today as my best mate's gf is due to have her C section at 10am at the hospital in Andorra la Vella this morning!!!! They're expecting a baby girl and it's their first. My BM is 52 so this is going to be a huge life changing event though right at the moment he seems to think that itshouldn't make that much difference to their lifestyle... we'll see!!

    It sounded like CLP & the team and the lucky winners had the time of their lives over the weekend. Somehow I don't think I'll be quite in the league to bid this year but it's good to dream...

    Hope you all have a fab day!
