Struck down by sickness
Where has the week gone so far...
It's early Wednesday morning and the Gazette is out and I have to say it's been non-stop for me with no signs of that changing in what is turning out to be a very busy week.
Our sport editor Scott became a victim of the vomiting bug sweeping the country so the bulk of the past two days have seen me looking after the Gazette sports pages - no complaints please - and also overseeing the news pages of the paper.
It's all been a bit of a juggling act but I am relatively pleased with this week's paper as normal service is finally resumed after the festive season.
We have strong front pages for all editions and over the coming weeks will be introducing one or two new features into the paper so as always I will be interested to get your views on them and the paper in general.
It did look for a while that for the first time in many weeks, no months, we might have a full compliment of staff this week but Scott's demise was closely followed by our Uxbridge reporter Libby going home ill.
Later today I have a meeting to finalise the details for our Local Heroes Gala Night at the end of the month which will again be held at the Hayes Campus.
Uxbridge College are again supporting the event and I am already looking forward to what promises to be a glittering night and one of the annual highlights of the Gazette calendar.
