Japan...

...was a hoot as ever.

Lovely audiences in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. I ate katsu curry, browsed art galleries in Roppongi and Nagoya and rode the bullet train twice (Mount Fuji was, alas, covered in clouds).

Thank YOU, Ryoko.

In other news, Bob Mortimer was brilliant on Desert Island Discs, and I am glad that Fopp on Byres Rd., Glasgow has had a reprieve. I guess we use it or we lose it.
