Big switch off
Frustratingly due to technical problems - I don't know what they were - our website was down for much of yesterday playing havoc with the viewing figures which were shaping up nicely for the month.
Thankfully normal service has now been restored but, it is mildly irritating when something goes wrong which is totally out of your control.
A few days back I mentioned that my colleague Lindsay Coulson, editor of our sister paper the Harrow Observer was embarking on a five day marathon trek across Ireland to help raise money for St Luke's Hospice in Kenton.
Not only is Lindsay well on course to complete the walk but it seems that the Irish air has also inspired her on the blogging front. She is sending daily reports of her progress which make interesting reading and can be viewed at http://blog.harrowobserver.co.uk/
With only a couple of days left we all wish Lindsay well and look forward to hearing her walking woes and tales of wild nights in Ireland when she next visits Gazette House.
I managed to avoid the 'Big Brother switch off' last night as I was out with a friend at my favourite Chinese restaurant. Not that I would have watched it anyway even if I had been at home.
However, my journalistic instinct meant that I was scouring the nationals first thing this morning to see if anybody from the area had entered the house.
Thankfully they have not so we will not have to waste valuable space in the Gazette covering their antics which, I suspect we would have found ourselves doing.
