In the deep dark forest...

There once was a little girl and her dog. They were called Jessica & Lucy - that is the little girl was called Jessica and the dog called Lucy - just to save any confusion.

Any way Jessica and Lucy lived in a deep dark forest - in a little wooden shelter where all Lucy had to eat was sticks.

And here to prove it is a picture of them both....

Alexandria The Great

Great news - last Wednesday Alex won 'Best Journalist of the Year' at the Royal Television Societies Annual Award Ceremony.

Though I wasn't around for the whole year some of it was down to the work we did together -
apparently she did mention me in her speech which was very kind.

Here is one of the stories - "Prostitution On The Streets Of Calcutta"

And a link to some of her speech.

Mr Furry

Champagne

Enough said.

Added later - actually the Champagne was lovely, the TV was huge - great to watch but the flat bed was really uncomfortable - all lumpy.

Had a better sleep on the Euro Atlantic 'Etihad' charter from Abu Dabi to Islamabad which had older foam seats that you just sank into.

Pakistan Again

I can't seen to keep away. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today and
we are sending a large team to watch the fall out - if any.

Its not all bad news. Will be flying first class if Tim gives me his
boarding pass (economy if not). And our destination is the Serena in
Islamabad - my favorite hotel where the door men welcome me by name.

Just like a second home.

Merry Christmas

OK so its not actually like this - a bit damper.... but we have hope.

You may ask why I am sat doing this and not opening presents - simple really...

I'm at work :-(

Speech & Language

Good news to report.

We have just had confirmation that Ben is going to start getting all the help he needs in school and dedicated Speech and Language therapy sessions again.

Its taken 6 months and we only had to have one or two small barney's but thankfully its all sorted now. Just hope Ben's old therapist will be able to work with him again as she is very good.

Many thanks to all those who have helped so far at the school and the LEA.
