What social life? I certainly can't go out for a wild night during the
week, but I'm lucky because a lot of my closest friends live near me,
so I can see them in the evenings and still go to bed quite early.

Sometimes I think I would like to have more normal


working hours, but I love my job so much that
I'd never want to give it up. The buzz of
being 'live' on the radio early in the morning
as people start their days is really wonderful.
