Now I'm really excited to be back on Radio Solent on Christmas Day - but I wish there was a more appropriately festive photo on the website / BBC Sounds.
Let me see what I can achieve on my phone........

Spent today working on some of the remaining language services the BBC still puts out. Over 40 different global services still exist online but most of the radio has sadly dwindled away. BBC Arabic broadcasts into Gaza on Medium Wave once a day.

Big desks, big skills being demonstrated by our northern opposite numbers at BBC Salford - great couple of days meeting them and checking out 5 Live / BBC Sport / Business.
Back to that London tomorrow - just a 5 hour train journey home first!😢
