I've been listening to Last Word for some time now - it's a Radio 4 program which I listen to in the car as a podcast, and I really enjoy what are actually audio obituaries on the recently departed. Very often they get a selection of people to recount someones achievements and character, not always just the good ones, and even remember the notorious as well as the famous. If I get chance, I would like to be on this program. What intrigues me is that I can listen to someone recalling nostalgic anecdotes about e.g. slightly famous person 'x' and feeling quite 'warm' about them. One such incident this morning was with Bill Pertwee, the ARP warden from Dads Army who came across as a really nice, considerate chap who I would have liked to know, but until this morning I couldn't have given a monkeys about him. How many more are there like him? ..and if I had not have listened to the program I would never have thought that.
As for my training, did a 4 mile run last night in the rain, I had to really push myself to go out in it but the slightly warmer weather decided me to just do it.
