Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope your weekend was good. Well, it doesnt get much better than that does it, weather wise? I was just wandering around Hull on Saturday, sitting down at the Marina, talking to some of the boat owners and pottering around. And it couldnt have been any better. Yesterday, I was off down to between Lincoln and Newark, to go to a dog show down there at the showground, which was very enjoyable. It was a very hot day and were back to the start of another week and of course more football this week, so Look North is slightly disrupted again for its start times. But bear with us and well be back to normal again once the football is finished.
At the weekend as well, it was the sixty-fourth birthday for Sir Paul McCartney. Youve got to feel sorry for Paul, havent you, because under any other circumstances, this would have been a big birthday for him? Hes written one of the most played songs ever on the radio. It was never actually a hit single, but was the Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, but it was never a single. When I grow older, losing my hair many years from now, will you still need me etc And of course under normal circumstances, his birthday would be a time for celebration. His personal life, just recently, has been full of heartbreak as the headlines said yesterday on Sunday, Heartbreak for Macca and that was on his sixty-fourth birthday. Also, do you know who else is also celebrating their birthday? Hes forty today and thats Action Man. Would you believe it? Action Man is forty years old! Well, join me tonight for Look North at the later time of quarter past seven. Tonight on the programme, we'll be reporting on the first day of the trial of the murdered millionairess from East Yorkshire, Suzy Healey. It was a tragic death and one that shocked a great many people in the quiet village of Ellerker, so Ill have the very latest from the courtroom about that. And I'll be seeing if there's any news of the rumours surrounding Peter Taylor's move to the Crystal Palace top spot. If there's any announcement of the Hull City's manager's change of job, then of course we'll be there. And do you remember our Humber Bridge painting competition? Its for the big anniversary of the Humber Bridge this summer and Ill be revealing the winner tonight. All of the short listed artists works are on show at the moment at the Ropewalk in Barton. Well, worth a look if youre in the area. All of the short listed paintings are going on tour as well around the region and theyre making a stop at the BBC Open Centre in Hull at some point. Of course, Ill give you details about that nearer the time, but in the meantime if you want to know where these paintings are, then have a look at our two websites, either bbc.co.uk/humber or bbc.co.uk/Lincolnshire. Theyre travelling across our region in the coming months and theyre well worth a look. Congratulations to everyone, who took part and find out tonight who the winner is! So I hope you can join me tonight for Look North at the later time of quarter past seven. Tonight, Lisa Gallagher will have the weather forecast. So all you Lisa fans, look out for her tonight! Chat Show Hosts Beware Yes, those, who regularly interview people (and I suppose this is applicable to me too!), be warned. Emu is back! Sadly Rod Hull, of course, died a few years ago after he fell off a roof whilst adjusting his television aerial. Since then, the dreaded bird has been silent. Well, the bird is always silent, but actually the bird isnt going to be silent any more, because Emu is coming back and Rod Hulls son is bringing Emu back on stage and has also been given a TV series as well. This time Emu will be operated by strings and Emu will make noises. He wont actually talk, but he will make noises. Rod Hulls son, Toby, is his keeper now. Rod Hull achieved fame in the 1970s with the crazy bird, who once attacked Michael Parkinson and Rod died in 1999. Now his son, Toby, is taking up the reins and will have his own TV show. Hes hoping to get back onto Parky too! So look out for Emu! Hes back! Children Well, by the age of ten, children are now deciding what to wear, how to spend their pocket money and packing their own school lunches. Youngsters have become more independent partly because of the busy lifestyles of their parents, according to a new study. Why we needed a new study to tell us this, I do not know! But ten year olds of today can do a lot more for themselves, surprise, surprise, then when I was a young boy. Also, the other day, someone was telling me that their daughter had shown Mum how to get something to work on the computer, rather than the other way around. Its found that working parents are often the most lenient. They let their children stay up later to spend more time with them. And in the rush to get ready for work in the morning, they let their children pack their own lunch boxes, which can occasionally lead to bad nutritional choices. So there you are. Kids of ten are doing more for themselves than they were a few years ago. A surprise? Well, not r! eally. Cosmic Ordering Now I was talking about this a few weeks back. Noel Edmonds had given this really weird interview with Parkinson and he came out with the fact that he puts all his recent good luck down to Cosmic Ordering. He sat down and ordered what he wanted and along it all came. I was fascinated at the time and would like to read that book all about it. Well, better than that now, Noel Edmonds has signed a five hundred thousand pound deal to write a book. Its a new age book about how the power of the cosmos has helped to revive his career. Noel, who is fifty-seven, says his dreams came true following the ideas of a German writer, Barbel Mohr, who devised the notion of asking the universe to grant wishes. After reading a book on the Cosmic Ordering service, Noel Edmonds said he asked the cosmos for a new challenge following a painful break up of his nineteen year old marriage to his wife, Helen. He believes that the challenge came in the form of the new hit Channel 4 show, Deal Or No De! al, which has renewed his fortunes, after six years away from television. And now he is going to write a book all about Cosmic Ordering and its due to be released on July 27th. Its titled Positively Happy and the book will show readers how to banish negativity. So there you are. If you want to have a bit of Cosmic Ordering, then the book will be out in July. Well, I hope youve ordered a good day today and I hope the weather improves. Although I think were in for some patchy rain today and thunder storms. Thats what Paul said isnt it? Anyway, I hope you can join me tonight for Look North and look out for your Levy Letter again tomorrow.
