No Today today
Wake up. Confused. Dizzy Gillespie is on the Today programme. Must have died. Obituary's going on a bit. Ah, Andy's forgotten to tune back to Radio 4. Where is it then? Funny, the red line that shows the frequency doesn't show any more. That's annoying. That's the end of the stations and I haven't found it. It's always before you get to Radio 1. Must have missed it. No, I'm back at the other end now. Still Dizzy Gillespie. This is never an obituary... Is it the weekend!? No. Better check with another radio. I'll make tea in the kitchen and check. Dizzy even when I can see the frequency is correct. Something's happening. Wonder what.
As you can see, this was not a high quality waking up experience. More elongated but equally disorienting as waking up after a quick, deep nap the other evening thinking it was the morning (being clothed was confusing).
A rather enjoyed the BBC strike but I had a private little snipe at them.
Then learned about the building of Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport. Fascinating, acually and far less need to shout than while listening to pedant Humphreys. I also learned that Dizzy Gillespie has been dead for some time.
