Hello there, its Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well. Wow, werent they amazing storms yesterday afternoon? I expect you saw all those amazing pictures of flooding in our area and of the lightning over the River Humber. I always love a good storm, but unfortunately there were many problems for people in Market Weighton. There was a great deal of flooding in their town, so I hope the clean up operation is going well for them today. Our thoughts are with them. Well, it looks like the rain has stopped now, but of course Ill have the latest weather forecast details from Lisa tonight.
Tonight on the programme, I'll have the details of the row that's broken out over proposals for a playing field in Willerby. Local parents say this play area is important for their children and the local community, but Councillors have blocked the proposals saying it will only encourage anti social behaviour in a public area. Ill have the latest on that. And I'll have more on the Skegness school, which already has nine sets of twins and is expecting triplets to the school in September. Isnt that incredible? Well, this is a national school record and I'll have more on that one. We'll be at the grand opening of Alford Manor House. After intensive renovation and restoration, the grand old house is now open again and we'll be there to see it. Its a beautiful building, so if you can take a look, then its well worth it. I'll be taking a look at a special copy of the Da Vinci Code book, which is expected to cost thousands on an internet auction site after being signed by all the cast of the blockbuster film. And I'll have the latest on the increased speculation that Hull City manager, Peter Taylor, will be moving to the Crystal Palace top spot. If theres any definite news, then of course, well be there for it. And we'll be live at the massive Bon Jovi gig here in Hull at the KC Stadium. So a busy show, youll be able to get all the atmosphere of that huge concert tonight, so I hope you can join me then. If youre going to see Bon Jovi tonight, then I hope you enjoy it. Im sure you will! Of course, theres more football today, so Look North will be on at the later time of a quarter past seven. See you there! Stress Are you stressed at work? Well, men who are stressed at work, drink to forget it apparently. Stress at work is driving growing numbers of men to drink, a report said that was out yesterday. More than a third admit that they resorted to alcohol to switch off from thinking about work, while one in five have experienced aggressive outbursts as a result of stress. The study, which was commissioned by a health supplement manufacturer, reveals that only 4% of men claim not to suffer any stress at work at all. Im sure I am stressed at work at times, but Im certainly not turning to the bottle just yet! Diabetes Well, Im not sure if youre aware or not, but its diabetes week this week. Lots of people in our area suffer from diabetes and it can affect people of any age. Well, I have to say that it can be very difficult for people, who dont have diabetes, to spot the early warning signs when people are getting poorly. So this week is all about learning about diabetes and finding out where to get information and help. Tomorrow, Ill be going to an Awareness Day at the Brocklehurst Building on Anlaby Road, where the Hull Diabetes Team will be there. The day starts at 2pm until about 7.30pm and therell be lots of information available to you. So I hope you can go along and get some information about it. Ill be popping round after the lunch time programme at about 2pm, so I hope to see you then! If you go, then I hope you find it interesting and helpful. Carrots Well, Jonathan Parker and Marcus Heald from BBC Radio Humbersides Westenders programme are still looking for actors and actresses for their musical.

The study of workers and the unemployed, aged between sixteen and over, found this was the time when people hit rock bottom. Those responding to the survey had the least enthusiasm for doing tasks at this point than at any other time of the day. The second lowest point occurred at 11:37 in the morning. So the worst point when we feel down with no enthusiasm for work is at 2:16 and the second worst is at 11:37! Email Dont forget drop me an email if youve got an idea for the programme.
