I have had some terrible news today. A friend of mine from as far back as nursery school has died. She fell on her stairs, hit her head and died from her injuries. Her husband found her the following morning. I am lost for words. She was 31.

Thank-you Hayley for all the laughs and mischief as we grew up. Sorry for setting fire to your hair in the kiln room that time but I still dont forgive you for the burger bite on the train! Thanks for being the one who I was with when we heard the news about Kurt Cobain. Thanks for being the one who I escaped to during the difficult teenage years and for appearing on my doorstep in your slippers clutching mugs of tea. Thanks for being my tennis partner, my twig and my partner in crime for all of those years. I will miss you.

One:
Children are not getting enough exercise. We all know that. So what do we see as we wander around Asda yesterday? Every child on these heelie shoes. Not walking anywhere. So the little exercise they might have got hiking their way around the supermarket becomes being dragged along by the trolley or just gliding down the aisles with no effort or energy spent at all. Great, just what they need.

Two:
Cashier in Curry's, commenting on 'The Motorcycle Diaries' informed us that it was a great film. It was a book. A very famous book. It may have been made into a film, but it was a book! Che Guevara? Heard of him? He wrote a diary. They made it into a book.
