I’ve been very lax in the bedding department over the past couple of weeks.  The set that I removed last weekend hadn’t been washed by the time it came to change the current stuff this evening.  I’ve had to wash two sets and stick the heating on full blast to try to get it dry.  In the meantime, I’m resorting to emergency bedding that consists of a way past its best duvet cover and… shame of shames… a polycotton fitted sheet.

The depths to which I’ve sunk.  I might as well be sleeping in a homeless shelter tonight.

But they say you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to rise again.  Come tomorrow, I’ll be back on top with two full sets of clean bedding.  Of course, I have guest bedding that I’d never let anywhere near my own memory foam.  Visitors have something called “easy care”, whatever the hell that is.  All I know is that that it’s not white, high thread-count Egyptian cotton and it’s going nowhere near my sleepy body.

Sofie Gråbøl drops the F-bomb on teatime radio

This woman is utterly charming, and look at how OSX treats her!

Anyway, lovely Sofie was on the Radio 2 Drivetime show this afternoon to talk about the National Theatre/of Scotland production that she’s appearing in in Edinburgh and then London.  The show is on National radio, broadcast between 5 and 7pm to a family audience.  

Of course, the host of the show, Simon Mayo, asked her about what she’s most known for, her performance as Sarah Lund in the wonderful, The Killing and what she thought of the US version.  Having never watched the US version myself, I was interested to learn that she’d played a cameo in it.  Describing her appearance, what she said is paraphrased in the following:

“The producer wanted me to play a cameo and so I went over to Vancouver to do this. I was playing one scene as a solicitor who was meeting the equivalent of the Sarah Lund character.  I was dressed smartly in a suit and thought it would be OK to do the scene opposite Sarah Linden.  She approached me in that pony tail, and that jumper… inside I was four years old, give me my FUCKING jumper… I meant ‘bloody’…”  What followed was the some of the best radio I’ve heard in a long time.

The BBC playlister of the show is available here for the next week, it even warns of strong language and asks that listeners confirm that they’re over 16, this must be a first for this programme… for Radio 2.

I’ve managed to save the sequence to keep and keep again… 

Anyway, I love her even more now, and I hope that the Edinburgh and London production of James III: the true mirror is even more successful as a result of her appearance on the radio this evening.

Who’d have thought the BBC might need to employ a 10 second delay for a such a sweet woman though.  I think she needs a cuddle.  I’d happily give her a very special cuddle.
