Brighter outlook
I have to say I will not be sorry when this week finishes - it's certainly had its ups and downs.
They say things come in threes and that's certainly been the case at Gazette House. First our sports editor went sick, quickly followed by the production editor and then to cap it all the newly recruited Uxbridge reporter failed to show - yes I am still angry about that.
However, on a more positive note the newslist for next week's Gazette is maturing like a fine wine and joy of joy we will have some crime stories to report on (see previous blog 'There is no crime this week').
Already we have a number of strong stories that are potential front page splashes and other big issues we will be covering in depth is the latest on plans for a Tesco store in Yiewsley and the possibility of water meters being introduced across the borough.
Big Brother contestent Jermaine Jackson is due to visit Uxbridge as part of his anti-bullying campaign so, we will be seeking an interview with the Jackson Five singer and we launch our popular Top Toddlers competition in next week's Gazette.
And with the start this weekend of the Six Nations Rugby I am starting to feel a whole lot more positive about things.
However, I am not going to make any rash predictions about England's chances against Scotland. I don't want to upset my Scottish friends and anyway me son lives and works in Scotland so I had better be careful what I write.
Let's just say I will be raising a glass or two on Saturday night if Jonny Wilkinson has his kicking boots on ....

Hmm. Maybe Mr Jackson could rope his brother in to help judge the Top Tots contest?
