It’s exactly one year since my “professional” career started with a name-drop on BBC Nottingham What a whirlwind it’s been since then… you would think it’s been longer!

The amount of money generated from the paper side of newspaper businesses- when all the eggs go into the digital basket- does fascinate me. I guess getting a fraction of a penny per digital view cannot compare to splashing £2-3 for a paper.

I had a dream last night that someone brought a pet cow into work that looked exactly like my family dog… but the size of a cow. I really need one of those dream interpreters 😐

The killing of journalists denies the ability to gather facts and show the reality on the ground. Israel does not allow international journalists (including BBC reporters) independent access into Gaza, so my thoughts are with the brave freelancers who work against all odds.
