Well it aint Baton Rouge, but my next gig is Brighton and Radio Sussex. Up at 6.00. Stumble into the bathroom. Stick out my tongue to see if I'm getting better, seems my body is beginning to slough off the. The rain came. It was warm but the rain came down and I feared I wouldn't get a train. In the event the 11.39 trundled into the station. I had on a little waterproof jacket which revealed itself not to. Wheel in the Smoothies. Gott up and went. Being on the road time takes on a completely new dimensio...

It happened in Monterey a Long time ago [Jeni Barnett]
http://www.jenibarnett.com/2015/07/249_miles_later_we_arrived.php
It happened in Monterey a Long time ago. Good bye Santa Barbara, hello Monty. 249 miles, through changing temperatures, changing sound tracks and changing scenery. 249 miles and we would be in Monteray. We all knew we were going to have to film stuff, but after 249 miles in the wagon, sleeping and waking, eating, drinking and snoozing, the thought of getting out of my polkadots and into something film worthy was exhausting. So back to the crew's hotel. Yup, a huge, square jacuzzi sat on a plinth next to ...

July 2015 [Jeni Barnett]
http://www.jenibarnett.com/2015/07
In 1962 relatives in Canada decided their poor English cousins would benefit from a generous bulk-load of cream cheese and sardines. For months my mother would mime our breakfast choices. Clucking like a hen to indicate dairy - don't ask. It happened in Monterey a Long time ago. Six days down, ten to go and the virus hit me like a truck from behind. My head hurt, my chest hurt, every part of my body ached, the cost of a US doctor was prohibitive so I had to. Gator on a stick. Three days in and it feels l...

In 17 August 2016. Some say its the last of the summer sun, but I have my doubts. There's pots to plant and lawns to mow and clouds to wonder at. Said the girl with the pony tail. Indeed.' I said. Unloaded to the 5.00 clock news, Jimbo stopped off at Lidl for beer and I read an article about Trump, who seemingly never, ever wanted to win any kind of Presidential race just wanted to up his fee on the Apprentice. Would make sense, the greedy, dissembler that he is. Tomorrow I'm driving to my acupuncturist ...

I have been practicing I WILL SURVIVE. I've re-written the words so that when I stand up on MARCH 26th in CROYDON to celebrate being sixty and old I will be slick and well oiled. I am having to write. St, James Parked under a heavy sky. Smoke was billowing out of a Buck house chimney - had the Pope died? I walked round the lake and saw with my own eyes families of ducks dipping for supper. There was. Number 11 and still counting. A day at the Office. 2nd broadcast of 2009. 2nd broadcast of 2009.

It was Fathers day in the UK, they were with each other as I lollopped around my luxury 12th floor bedroom. Didn't want breakfast, didn't want to get dressed, but it was our one and only day off and Sybil was collecting me at 10.30. Haven't watched any American telly at all, haven't wanted to. My head has been so full of research notes and the packing and unpacking of suitcases. Thought about putting the telly it on but couldn't face the news of shootings in Charleston. As we drove out of LA you could se...

TV presenting [Jeni Barnett]
http://www.jenibarnett.com/tv_presenting
Believe it or not, presenting is a skill. Croaky voice, credit crunch felt quite queasy all through lunch. Lots of calls helped me out I whispered, spoke and tried a shout. Drunk my tea, listened more At 4.15 was out the door. Shopped for meat Cooked it down. If you have a mind and an ear, you find a place where they make hearing aids and have a mould made of your ear-hole. Pink goo is squirted into the whole ear and you have to sit really still. The art of presenting. Last day of May.
