Love is in the air
I thought my journey to work this morning would be a nightmare - but it turned out to be not much different than usual.
Once I had cleared the snow and ice off the car and negotiated a couple of snowy Surrey backroads the M25 was running remarkably smoothly and I had a trouble free trip into Uxbridge.
I just hope that the rest of the team at Gazette House have a similar journey in so we can get off to flying start for next week's paper.
The newsdesk will tell you that one of my constant moans is about the lack of nibs in the paper and at yesterday's weekly paper review meeting I was all set to once again tackle this issue.
However, before I could get on my soap box news editor Chene put her hands up to the lack of nibs in this week's paper. It had been a tough week for Chene as she was standing in for Content Editor David Tilley, who was on holiday, and having done a sterling job I quickly moved on to other subjects!
We already have a busy news agenda for next week's Gazette - which will include plenty of nibs - and with the paper coming out on Valentine's Day we are busy searching out some romantic tales to bring you.
PS: Nibs are a term used in the newsroom for short stories - usually no more than 50-80 words - which we often run in columns on the outside edge of news pages.
