I've got the day off today so I'm at the kitchen table with a large cup of coffee (and porridge bubbling) planning a busy bank holiday weekend on the blog. Between now and Monday I've got five really interesting posts to publish. Later today you'll be able to read Susan Rae's fifth and final snapshot from the announcer's life. By the end of the day I should have Controller Mark Damazer's latest post - this time about Today (Mark's a pretty busy man, though, so don't be upset if I have to move that one back). Tomorrow, to coincide with the beginning of Radio 4's The Complete Smiley, I've got a lovely behind-the-scenes post from Jeremy Howe, Radio 4's commissioning editor for drama, about the season.
On Sunday the Farming Today bees will make their final appearance here before they get their own blog on the Farming Today web site (I hope they'll keep in touch, though) and on Monday, to coincide with the first of this year's Reith Lectures (given by Professor Michael Sandel) I've got another fascinating glimpse behind the scenes from Jennifer Clarke who's producing the online ('multiplatform') elements of the lectures this year.
Keep up with the action here on the blog by following on Twitter and don't forget to subscribe to the blog's RSS feed (and I've burnt the porridge).
UPDATE: you'll probably have noticed that Mark Damazer's Friday blog post is not about Today at all, but about The Complete Smiley instead. That's the fast-moving world of blogging for you.

I'm sure that they'll buzz you now and again, one or two will no doubt feel it necessary to sting you for a blog...
Sorry!

Only one gripe: as the team of announcers (btw: aren't the apostrophes difficult to get right in writing with "announcers"?) provide their announcing services across 19 hours and 40 minutes and 7 days a week, would it not have been respectful to maintain contiuity of blogging in their honour through the weekend too?
