This is a very special timeof the month - the 'new' magazine is out, so we get to have the fun (and mingled terror) of going though the hot-from-the-press edition, page by analytical page. We are also well into the production schedule for our next (July) edition, so we are starting to see that all fall into place, and the website gets a spectacular shaking up as all the new content floods in - thanks to my trusty web team (that's you, by the way, Monkey and Kes). I continue merely to wave my arms around and suggest stuff that should be appearing, probably at largely inconvenient moments for everyone else, but hey, someone's got to conduct the beast that is Kent Life.
All of the above took place at head office today, and it's been a long 'un, not helped by leaving Worthing considerably later than usual and getting stuck in traffic jam after jam on the way back home - barely made it in for EastEnders, for heavens' sake! Am in the throes of texting now-famous daughter about accommodation in Barcelona - she is on board a yacht somewhere off the Spanish coast and can't get internet, but I can, so we're sort of 'seeing' through me. Anyway, thanks to various tips from those in the know and a handy map from my friend Elaine last night, we think we've found the perfect apartment for two - 'modern, tough but cosy, with great luminosity', apparently. Who could ask for more?
I've just watched How to look good naked out of the corner of my eye while doing lots of other stuff at the same time, and how brave was that woman? It's one thing being larger than life and appearing in front of a massive audience, in real life and on TV, but to do so when you've had a mastectomy - now that takes courage. As someone with an immediate member of family who has suffered Breast cancer, I felt the whole thing was handled with great sensitivity by Gok Wan,who I actually secretly rather like - what does anyone else think?
