You should wantch this presentation from nine year old James. It’s from a special edition of Dragon’s Den for Children in Need, where young people pitch their idea to the hardbitten suits. His idea is to encourage children to look out for lonely kids and befriend them – and offer prizes in return. It may…

So I’ve been given this new mobile phone from work. It’s this long slim Nokia. I didn’t want it, but there you go…. Now the first thing I don’t like is the operating system, I’d grown used to Sony, this feels strange. If the manufacturers want you to switch, I wonder how they could ease…

You would expect me to support Ben’s plea for a decent cup of tea when he visits other people’s offices. And if course I do. But not just because a decent cuppa makes my world go around (which is does – simple I am). You can tell a hell of a lot about a place…

Went to a farmers market in Leeds last week. I didn’t intend to go wild, but the stuff on offer was far too exciting. No need to feel faintly smug or moral, just very hungry. You can go to one these things to support local suppliers, be organic etc if you like. And I think…

But here’s a sunrise this week……. …..and here’s a sunset from Sunday. Stuff like this is why I like living where I do. The last picture is from the front of my house. Walk 400 yards up the road and you get miles of fields and woods.

The Killers are a guilty pleasure of mine. I do know they started out watering down Joy Divison’s best ideas, and then followed by going all cod-Bruce Springsteen. I just like them okay?
