Phew what a day - so far.....
The final pages have now been sent to our pre-press department and we hit deadline - but it was a close call.
Yesterday I told you about the walking wounded in the newsroom well today it is the sleeping wounded. Content editor David has taken to his sick bed and reporter Tom was clearly not able to come in with his broken elbow - after struggling through yesterday to write up his cracking front page exclusive.
With another reporter on holiday we were a depleted team and a couple of late breaking stories which needed covering really stretched resources.
However, the team did a fantastic job and this week's papers are some of the best we have produced for several weeks - well at least I think so.
It seems depleted newsrooms are a common theme this week as my colleagues in Reading and Croydon, who also produce daily blogs, have suffered the same fate for a variety of reasons.
You can also catch up on their daily blogs by going onto http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk and http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk. Hopefully this bit of publicity will gain them a few more daily readers - only joking boys!
