Rachel's Tuesday Blog

Post categories:

Rachel | 12:51 UK time, Tuesday, 5 August 2008

A very good day to one and all, it's Rachel here checking in on the blog as Tuesday is my blog day.

After turning up to work very tired this morning, the day seems to be panning out very nicely. The show this morning was hilarious. It ranged from talking to Rob DJ about his diva strop...more on that in a moment....through to Dave & Chris and trying to make me feel better about putting on 6 pounds in 1 week. (I'm sure my scales are wrong).

Back to Rob DJ. The top dog, general bizzle quizzle will be joining us in Newquay for his legendary quiz on Friday. As the show live from a stage at in front of thousands (we hope), Aled and I want it all to look as well (as sound good). Anyway, yesterday I ran the idea of Rob wearing a sparkly quiz master jacket. It didn't get down too well and ended with the line ' we'll see on Friday'. I think my powers of perusasion will have to go up a notch so to speak.

Talking of Rob. Tuesday as I'm sure you know is quiz day. Thought I'd put the questions just in case you missed it. The answers are at the bottom of the blog.

1. Name the artist who had a hit with flashdance in 2004?

2. Which geographical location was the first word spoken on the moon?

3. In Sex & The City Carrie and Miranda used to stop off at 'Magnolias' to buy Vanilla flavoured what?

4. Which of the four main Balearic Islands is closest to Spain?

5. What is a line on a weather map linking places of equal barometric pressure?

You might have heard us talking about our detox in 2005 earlier, when we all attempted to stop drinking and shed a few pounds. Here's the photo that Dave found!

    When are you weighing yourself though Rachel? I'm sure the scales are wrong! My scales have a different result most of the time as well! Like the pic, hope the rest of your tuesday is good. :)

    Trick is to NOT step on those scales, Rachel! No one should be measured by numbers, but by how you feel about yourself. If you feel good, who gives a catpoo about weight! Then at least you're working towards a real goal, rather than something numerical. Hope you have a good Tuesday :)

    Those scales can't be right. No one puts on that much in a week. Not without at least noticing they haven't been to the toilet in a similar time period anyway! And at least then you know what's going on. Give it a couple of days and try again, you'll probably find it's all gone.

    Only two out of five for me on the quiz this week. Rubbish. :(

    Heard that no one comments on the blog...not really. Reading the blog reminds me of laughing my head off in my car on the way to work. Our little one (he will be 5 in September) miss the show due to summer holiday. Will turn on the radio in the kitchen in the morning...but seems like he prefer Cbeebies. Sorry...I still listen to the show every morning from 8:55 to 9:30 while I am on my way to work. Look forward to tomorrow show.
