A little note here from Colin Allsopp Hi Peter, I wonder if you could wish my wife Lily a happy birthday for the 12th November, on the Saturday. I wont say her age, but I can add that its our 17th wedding anniversary on the same day. Well thank you very much indeed. Thank you Colin, and to you and Lily a very happy wedding anniversary and Lily, a happy birthday for Saturday! Well at the start of the new week, well have all the days news, and join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm. Amongst the guests tonight will be the singer Hayley Westenra. Shes from New Zealand. Her first album went straight to the top of the charts. Her second album is just out and is called Odyssey. I shall be talking to Hayley tonight. Its a beautiful album, on which she sings songs like Ave Maria and Both Sides Now. Shell be talking to us ahead of her concert in Beverley Minster. So Hayley Westenra on the programme tonight at 6.30pm. Also at the weekend, on Saturday, I went to see the wonderful Northern Ballet Company at the Grand. They were doing La Traviata by Verdi and Northern Ballet always put on a good show and Saturday night was no exception. The audience was smallish, but they more than made up for it by being very appreciative. Smoking Im going to be talking later in the week in the Levy Letter about smoking in public places. Its going to be very much in the news this week. Well, have you got a view on that? Should smoking be allowed in pubs, some pubs, no pubs, in restaurants? Whatever your view on smoking in public places, then do drop me an email and let me know [EMAIL PROTECTED] Calendars Theres still time to get your BBC Children In Need, Peter and Paul calendar.

Please send a cheque made payable to the BBC and post to BBC Look North Calendars, Queens Court, Queens Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. Lonely Feeling lonely? Well, most of us know what its like to feel a little bit lonely from time to time. Well scientists apparently now know why. A study by Dutch and American researchers shows that its all to do with our genes. They found that much of our ability to feel lonely is inherited, explaining why some feel more lonely than others. Up to now, it was thought that loneliness was simply caused by shyness, poor social skills and difficulty in forming friendships. Now its thought that although these factors still play a role, the root cause can be traced back to prehistoric times. Its thought that in times of famine, some hunter gatherers may have deliberately shut themselves off from their friends and family in order to prevent them having to share valuable supplies of food. You couldnt make it up could you! So there you are, dont worry if youre feeling lonely, its not that youre just a bit shy, its in your genes and theres nothing you can do about it. Children In Need Dont forget that Friday is the big day! The Children In Need day! If youve got something youd like us to put in the Levy Letter this week about a fundraising event that youve got coming up, then give me the details, or if you know someone whos organising something, then get the details from them and drop me a line. And of course join us on Friday night for Children In Need as usual on BBC1. Christmas Presents Well, there are a variety of things that are being hinted at as the most bought Christmas present this year. I was saying last week that these Sat Nav, satellite navigation systems are going to be one of the most bought Christmas presents this year. £200 or £300 they are, so I wonder who these people are whove got the money for something like this! But also on the list is this new gadget. It sells at £450. Its got a little seven inch screen and its just like a little mobile television screen and ipod rolled into one. It can hold 55 000 songs or 4000 hours of home movies and you can also put pictures on it direct from your digital camera. Its got a seven inch screen and costs £450, but apparently theyre going to be much sought after this Christmas. There must be a lot of money around, thats all I can say! So what do you think is going to be the most bought present, and what are you going to buy for loved ones this Christmas? Then let me know, give me the details and dro! p me a line [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also if theres someone you know who doesnt get a Levy Letter and would like one on a daily basis, then give them a nudge towards the addresses at the bottom of the page.
