This week ........

They say (whoever "they" are) that variety is the spice of life - well, this week has certainly provided me with plenty of variety !! Early week I was chatting with the boys from Bagatelle in the studio about their new album and a new group called Keltic storm, I had a great time and met some lovely people doing an outdoor broadcast in Ballymoney at the Joey Dunlop Leisure centre, I covered Drivetime in the brand new Q102 studio (while Damien Devenny and Peter Barnett unplugged things, turned things up and down, then took out the processor and left !!Nice!), and Saturday I am on stage in Strabane from 2pm to 6pm hosting the switching on of the Christmas lights "4........3....(please work please work) ....2 ........1 Tadaaaaah !!!

This won't hurt a bit

The phrase 'poisoned chalice' always pops into my mind when I think of days like today. Yes it's the wrong use of the phrase, but a day off - that you have to go to the DENTIST is for me a poisoned chalice !
 Many thanks to Paul McCafferty for covering the breakfast show today while I "sit back and relax ....this won't hurt a bit"

 I miss the days when tooth trouble meant that soon, someone would give you a pound !

If you get a minute, have a quick look at my short films on the beautiful county of Fermanagh for Discover Northern Ireland - launched last week............ Looking at the sunny weather it all seems a long time ago!   I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, meeting lots of interesting people and working with a terrific crew from a Dublin based production company.
