While scrolling through Instagram on Monday, in my lunchbreak from copy-editing (more on that later), I spotted a post from a book blogger who I follow about a \u2018Reverse Advent Calendar\u2019. It\u2019s something I haven\u2019t heard of before, but I think it\u2019s a brilliant idea, particularly this year. For the month of November, you add one non-perishable food item to a box each day then at the end of the month you take it to your local food bank for them to distribute pre-Christmas. So far, my box has: baked beans, jam, pasta, tinned tomatoes, coffee and biscuits. I\u2019m sure you could play catch-up if you wanted to join in \u2013 I only started on the 3rd with three items going straight in. As you can see, Wilfie wanted to join in too, so I\u2019ll have to check the box carefully before sending off to the food bank or someone might get more than they bargained for! Thanks to Kaisha for her post alerting me to this and to those who\u2019ve already said on my social media that they are going to do it too \u2013 it can make such a difference.<\/p>\n
Talking of Wilfie, it was lovely to do a Charlie Bears<\/a> show yesterday, my first show back after my regular five-day break. Will and Charlie guested via video link and, for those of you who don\u2019t know, Will\u2019s nickname is Wilfy\u2026 hence the connection! We had a fun two hours together and isn\u2019t it amazing who you can train to operate the cameras these days.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n
