1. I've received a search engine hit for the words 'cheesecake recipe henman mother' (number 3 on Google, yes!!! ). I didn't even know Tim Henman's mother made cheesecake, and if she does, I'm sure she wouldn't give me the recipe.

2. I've only just discovered that the film Before Sunset is out (though apparently not at my local cinema - we're still wearing 3D glasses and humming along to the Pearl & Dean music around here). It's the sequel to the 1994 film 'Before Sunrise', which is one of my favourite movies and is single-handedly responsible for getting me where I am today. As a literate 20-something dabbling in the world of internet dating, I used to describe myself as looking for "the Julie Delpy to my Ethan Hawke". Naturally it failed to work in any shape or form, meaning I was still single when Lisa came along. Hurrah! I owe that movie everything.

3. I received my official government booklet last week about what to do in an emergency, so I did what the advert says and put it in a safe place. I've now realised I can't remember where I put it, and can't seem to find it anywhere. So can someone please remind me what I'm meant to do if al-Qa'eda launch an attack on Shotley Gate? I seem to remember it had something to do with blankets and tinned peas.
