RichardHerring.com - Warming Up

8697/21616Back to the Leicester Square Theatre and it felt like ages since I'd been here or done a podcast in front of an audience (Edinburgh is just a distant dream that I am not sure even happened).I had two fantastic guests lined up and the show was so…

8696/21615Round at the in-laws for lunch.

8695/21614Threads continues to be a source of human stupidity for me (and I am not adding any intelligence to the mix).

8694/21613A reminder to everyone planning to make a cumpkin this Halloween: Please use appropriate protection to ensure you don�€t create any human/pumpkin chimeras.Look at this poor child.

8694/21613The positive thing about ending the main RHLSTP show is I will have a bit more time to work on other projects.

8692/21611Threads is now my goto social media spot if I want to leave a sarcastic comment about the stupid crap people say in there.

8692/21611My second day of filming on Zak The Ripper, though the crew and some of the cast have been working pretty solidly since our first day on the 7th September.

8691/21610I've always dreamed of coming to Newhaven ever since I heard it existed, yesterday.

If you want to see the pictures, then read this on Substack!

8689/21608Despite feeling a bit under the weather I forced myself into doing a Park Run (Phoebe's kick off time was late enough this morning) and until the 5th km I felt pretty good and was even at pace to get sub 30 minutes.

8688/21607Thanks for the suggestions about what to do with my cables (and someone has claimed the thing with the pink wires- see Substack), so this story has a happy ending.

8687/21606As the planet Earth spins ever closer to the welcome extinction of the human race (no point in having this blog preserved in the British Library now), I have been trying to tidy up my frankly disgustingly dirty and jumbled office space.

8686/21605After a game of tennis where I suddenly seemed to be playing zinging well-placed shots like a proper grown-up, I headed to the supermarket to pick up some milk and potatoes.

8685/21604I remain, I assume, immuno-compromised and I do seem to be readily picking up annoying bugs.

8684/21603I hadn't slept well again and had a pretty intense day of podcasting ahead of me, with the studio booked for four hours and four lots of interviews to do.

8683/21602The first episode of "The Great Celebrity Pottery Throwdown" finally aired tonight.

8682/21601A super busy day of parenting today, which leaves me in awe of anyone who is doing this job alone or with more than two kids.

8681/21600An early morning trip into the capital city to talk to Chris Moyles about Celebrity Pottery Throwdown which starts on Channel 4 on Sunday (don't miss it if you want to see how good I am at making pots).

8680/21599A somewhat less glamorous book club record today as I talked to David Quantick (I regret making David my laminated shag card now, but I reckon it is at least a realistic possibility) and Chris Barker about their impossibly enjoyable book "The Lo…

8679/21598That final RHLSTP isI sold out as I write (may be a handful more tickets released and always worth joining the waiting list).

8678/21597They mysterious Richard D Herring died today.

8677/21596So the real reason I am giving up RHLSTP is because I am now a huge film star.

8676/21595There are three more live RHLSTPs this year at the Leicester Square Theatre.

8675/21594If you want to get a mattress the Dreams in Stevenage doesn't give a fuck about making sure you've tried it out four times or thought about what kind of base it goes on or really anything apart from wanting to sell you a mattress.

8674/21593A little skylight on our landing got cracked (we think) in the recent hail storm.

8673/21592First day of secondary school for Phoebe and she was picked up by a friend and they walked there without any grown-ups.
