Festival Tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmeeee!

So the time is near, Glastonbury Festival is just around the corner and I'm getting pretty excited. So excited in fact I've made my Glasto list of "things to take" - I like making lists.

The aim of the list is to quite obviously help me remember the essentials. I can't think of anything worse than rocking up miles from home only to have forgotten a key item. It's silly to think that this small scrap of paper with pencil scrawling all over it can offer me much in the way of reassurance, but god darnit it does!

Staring into space ...

So it's my first day working at Sky News, and it's been rather uneventful so far if I'm honest.

I'm a step away from the studio floor and I can hear the presenters reading the autocue so clearly I needn't turn the sound up on my desk flatscreen. Although I'm so close, I still feel so far away ..
