Lindsay's long trek
While many of us will be looking forward to a relaxing bank holiday weekend and perhaps the chance to put our feet up for a few hours that will certainly not be the case for a colleague of mine.
Lindsay Coulson, editor of our sister paper the Harrow Observer, is embarking on a 18 mile a day trek over five days along theWickow Way in Ireland. So it will be a case of putting her best foot forward rather than putting her feet up!
This marathon effort by Lindsay is all part of the annual St Luke's Walk which will raise money for St Luke's Hospice in Kenton and she will be joining 90 other intrepid walkers during the five days.
I know that Lindsay has been in training for a number of months now for the walk and has gained generous sponsorship for her efforts. Certainly everyone at the Gazette is supporting her efforts and we all wish her well on the walk.
If you want to find out how Lindsay is getting on she will be sending back daily blogs from Ireland which will appear on the Observer website http://www.harrowobserver.co.uk
I am sure there will be plenty of tales of aches and pains and perhaps a small insight into Irish pubs and evening's entertainment.
With the bank holiday looming it will be another busy few days at Gazette House. We already have a few decent stories on the boil for next week's paper but I have yet to see the completed newslist.
With content editor David Tilley an ardent Liverpool fan I get the feeling that it might be a little later than normal arriving on my desk as he tries to get over the disappointment of last night's Champions League Final defeat.
Still there is come consolation David, it was a better match than the FA Cup final for the armchair neutral - not that I think he will see it that way so I better tread carefully with him first thing this morning!
