Some of My Work

Morning all, just been updating my Audioboo profile. Don't know what it is? Well, it's social networking site of sorts where you can upload audio files of your work for all to listen too :D

I haven't updated mine in a while so this morning I added a couple of extra clips from works that I've done recently. One's a short showbiz news bulletin that we have to do at work every day! They're really good fun to do actually because you have to be a bit jazzy! Plus it's a nice break from reading the days serious news stories.

The other is an exclusive interview with the former UN Chief of Ops to Sarajevo - Larry Hollingworth - during the Bosnia Serb conflict. Speaking to me from over the phone from his New York hotel, he provided a fascinating insight into the personal relationship that he shared with Ratko Mladic, the former General who's now on trial at the Hague for War Crimes. He was a really nice guy and provided a super interesting interview subject, so I thought I'd share it with you all ...

Anyway, let me know what you think and why not check out my other Audioboos too ... I especially enjoyed the Paint Story. Just copy and paste the link below and you'll be magically transferred to my page!

The Return of a Champion - Serena Confirms for Eastbourne

It's been a tough past year for the 13 time Grand Slam Women's Singles Champion.

After thrashing Vera Zvonareva in the Wimbledon final last year (6-3, 6-2) the former World Number 1 has suffered with injuries and health problems. In a rather curious case she stepped on broken glass in a restaurant (hello lawsuit) that caused a significant injury forcing her to withdraw from the Hopman Cup and Australian Open. As she continued to rehab her injured foot we then learned she'd been rushed to Hospital for emergency treatment for a Hematoma and Pulmonary Embolism on her lung!

Was Serena's career in crisis? Many would have said it was the beginning of the end of a truly incredible career.

Her 11 month absence from the tour allowed old players to forge their comebacks, injured players to regain their form and young players to develop and flourish. The tour was different, more competitive and flooded with fresh faces trying to make their own mark in the WTA.

TODAY, amidst months of speculation she's announced her comeback and will play at Eastbourne ahead of title defense at the Grass Slam the following week.

Let me start planning my trip to Wimbledon, I can't miss this .... Welcome back Serena.

Hello there ..

Good Morning and Happy New Year.
An extended absence once again, I've been sunning myself whilst sipping on Mojito's and strolling through national parks - and then I awake from my slumber! ..

Christmas and New Year's seems like light-years ago now we're into February - the month for lovebirds. Evenings are getting lighter and the sun's shining more often which is a treat.

I hope you're all enjoying the new year so far.

Catch you all later :D

Bye for now.
