I need to find a quiet half-hour (or hour!) to sit down and go through my notes.<\/p>\n<p>And, erm.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started writing for a media offshoot of The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, <a title=\"Guardian\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">that Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And, in another area of my life, as the personnel have, obviously, changed, I&#8217;ve put some serious thought (and effort) in to remodelling the show &#8211; This Reality Podcast.<\/p>\n<p>The changes that I&#8217;ve come up with; updating the format, increasing the musical content to six tracks, and tightening the duration downwards to around 30 minutes per show, all seem to have been well-received in the greater world. The listener figures have seen some significant uplifts, now that the show is more focussed.<\/p>\n<p>It was helpful, obviously, that I was able to do some significant networking at the Media Centre in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>And also down at NME.<\/p>\n<p>And, most beneficially of all, I&#8217;ve slutted and whored the show all over the Guardian (who have been wonderful about allowing me to trawl the show&#8217;s name and website details through their print and online properties).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also made a couple of minor updates to <a title=\"This Reality Podcast\" href=\"http:\/\/thisrealitypodcast.com\" target=\"_blank\">the show&#8217;s website<\/a>. The most significant change is that the the revolving header photograph now updates, whenever a new show is released.<\/p>\n<p>It always seemed odd, to me, that I&#8217;d put out a new show each week, but the main eye-grabbing feature of the website didn&#8217;t reflect this.<\/p>\n<p>But not odd enough to do anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, obv.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, we had the yard Christmas &#8216;do&#8217;, the week before last. And that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m giving away.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve sold my beautiful horsebox.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Vin is on the point of being passed as &#8216;fully fit&#8217;, I&#8217;ve decided that my seriously competitive days are over.<\/p>\n<p>If I need to take a horse somewhere, I&#8217;ll borrow a lorry.<\/p>\n<p>Vin is due to see the chiro in the next week.<\/p>\n<p>If he gets a double thumbs-up, we should be able to start bringing him in to work just after Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>And, erm, speaking of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>I am off to Morocco in a week&#8217;s time.<\/p>\n<p>And going to the Event Riders Association ball in January.<\/p>\n<p>Umm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My phone is due for an upgrade this week.<\/p>\n<p>I want the new Nexus, obv.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m also thinking of dumping Vodafone.<\/p>\n<p>This is radical, I&#8217;ve been with Vodafone for about eight years. But, you know, one always wonders if the grass could be greener on the other side of the telecoms fence.<\/p>\n<p>And there have been lots of other things going on.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, lots.<\/p>\n<p>*nods*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think that&#8217;s probably enough lists, for now.
