Greetings -Kia ora,
My tenure at the Radio Station is still uncertain. I am in the throes of sellng my property and moving to a smaller place somewhere, but one can't sell a property until one has a buyer (or 2 or more).
So I've worked out the schedule for the next 13 weeks anyway, and I hope that regardless of property sales, I'll be able to keep to the schedule.
New Year's Eve: Over the past 5 or so years I have done a dance and merry-making session on New Year's Eve, We have a staff meeting next Tuesday, and I'll try to encourage one of the other presenters to take on this job. I like doing it, but I don't want to give the appearance of comandeering  that slot.

More book readings are coming up, I now have heaps of audio books to read out chapter by chapter. When I first started a book reading at 9 pm, I didn't thing I could keep going for a year, let alone 10 years.
