5 October 2009...

Hi, hope you're all well!

We've been saying that the weekend would be one of two halves and we were right.

I spent 24 hours legging it around the four capitals of the four countries of the UK with a life-size cardboard cut out of Stephen Fry

Cloudy and very windy, but dry Saturday and dry cool but sunny Sunday. A week of cold fronts and lows... Still the rain has kept away.

On a personal note I spent 24 hours legging it around the four capitals of the four countries of the UK with a life-size cardboard cut out of Stephen Fry...

Yeah sounds crazy... But it was for 'The One Show' to find out why people of the UK think he is a national treasure.

Got to tell ya... People love him! Nice chap as well and standing at 6'5" he's massive. He said he'd twitter me if I was on it?

Next week by the way ain't looking too bad... One more thing... Only 79 Days till Christmas HA!

Take care, Des.
