Hi there, Well it's Thursday already! I told you it would be a short week. I gather as well that we are in for a great weekend weather-wise! I dont know about you but yesterday felt like the hottest day of the year. Last night's storms were spectacular - I have never liked thunder and lightening to be honest - so I was quite happy to be indoors looking out over the water! I managed to get some good photos on my camera on the mobile phone!!! I write this at 6 am in the morning sitting in my little flat down at Victoria Dock - and I have to say even after being here for three years, the novelty of being able to see the water every morning has not worn off. I love living on the dock. Anyway enough of me waffling on. Down to business.
TONIGHT AT 6 3O =============== As well as the day's news, there's the latest on the name change campaign and you have until midnight to vote on the second and final six names. Then next week it will all be over as we shall have our final four names and then its the Big Vote. What do you think will happen? Remember the C4 programme that labelled Hull as the worst place to live in Britain? I've had so many e-mails and texts about that programme - people hated it. Well some teenagers from the city are fighting back - they've made a short film called ''10 things to love about Hull'' . More about that on Look North tonight. Meanwhile regional pride is out in force it seems. Radio Lincolnshire are launching a campaign to find a flag for the region. They have already come up with some designs - you can see them on the internet at bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire, in this month's Lincolnshire Life and on tonight's programme. LL == I know how many people are reading the Levy Letter and I am grateful that you have signed up if you have any friends who would like to get a letter every day then direct them to one of the two links at the bottom of the letter. Thanks a lot. YOU THE REPORTER ================= We had yet another story on the programme last night which came from a viewer. If you have something which you think would make a good piece for the show then do get in touch as soon as you can. Give me the details and we will see if we can work on it. I am at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, if it's urgent you can ring me at the BBC. BIRTHDAYS ========= Did I say we can mention birthdays in the LL? I must have done judging by the response. First one is from Susan Osman who lives (wait for it ) at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. She watches the show from there and wants a mention for her daughter Claire Osman and her partner Darren. Claire's birthday was on the 26th and Darren on the 25th August. Happy birthday to both. I'm always amazed by how many people watch the programme from outside of our area on satellite and now even sign up to the Levy Letter! SURVEYS KEEP COMING ==================== Scientists have found that the average car has 500 colonies of germs lurking inside!!! Slightly better news for me though - apparently cars belonging to older drivers are the most germ-free - with car seats of drivers of more advanced age having only a 20th of the germs found in seats of "boy racer" vehicles. I also see that the cost of running a car has passed the £2000 a year mark for the first time. PHOTOGRAPHS ============= Dont forget to keep the pictures coming for the big screen. It's been a very popular feature on the programme and mainly I think because of the sale of digital cameras. I still dont have a posh digital camera but am going to treat myself any day now! I friend of mine here has one and it takes such great pictures. I really must put my hand in my pocket. Well I had better get on and do some work! Have a good day and join me at 6 3O tonight, as usual.
