3/5/99 Blink and baby brothers

Posted May 3, 1999

Bank holidays, especially bank holidays during nice weather always
seem to come when there is work to do. In this case it is a
forecasting and control assignment which requires me to use a computer
program I will not understand if I spend the rest of my life working
on it. Still there are always good things to come out of any day, for
me today this includes going to a birthday party and being given the
chance to work on Blink, a new comedy programme for the radio station
here at the university of Warwick. I have never tried to write comedy
and am a little reticent to get started. However I feel there is a
way around this in starting out as an ideas man and progressing from
there. I have not shown my ideas to the team yet, but I am fairly
thick skinned and will be fine if they are not liked.

One final thing worth mentioning from yesterday is that I was able to
talk to one of my brothers on the phone. I have one sister and two
half brothers. The brothers are 2 years and 6 months old respectively
and I would have to call them the most important thing in my life.
Callum, the elder of the two has always regarded the phone as a toy
but he was quite happy to speak to me down it. This is great for a 20
year old big brother who spends way too little time with them.
