And this is normality?

Well, life’s getting back to some kind of familiar shape. Today I voiced lots of ads, made some lunch, put the washing on...but last week’s fingerprints are still all over the place.
Experienced interviewee...
Last night I did an interview with ABC Australia’s Andy Muirhead. It was Monday in Australia and I felt like some kind of weird cyborg time traveller... This morning was spent chatting to my local station, Century 105.4 where I got to talk in a shamelessly sexy voice. This afternoon I did the Bob and Sheri show in North Carolina, USA. And I’ve just come off the line with David Lawrence in ‘Frisco, USA where I gave him the low-down on being a hired gob. I’ve had calls from France, Spain, Germany – all wanting to talk about this story. But mercifully, the paper who wanted to photograph me partially naked hasn’t called back...
More importantly, I need to organise the Christmas do! Has anyone got any suggestions as to where / how me and the team should celebrate the festivities?
