Your News
Each week listeners send in single sentences summing up a news event in their week. Major or minor, we don't mind. Leave your sentence as a comment below or email it to us.
These lines of news are then combined to form our Your News bulletin, which last week was read by our neighbour at BBC 6 Music, Joe Cornish (above in the glasses)...

My Spanish son turned six, but despite years of court action he is not yet legally my son and I can't even send him a card.

I commemorated the 375th anniversay of the death of the forgotten Jacobean poet George Chapman by playing a bright pink ukulele outside his former home in Hitchin. A crowd formed.
Considered turning the heating back on, but opted for an extra cardie, a pair of fluffy socks and a cup of tea instead.
I opened the curtains at 5am to see a baby barn owl on my windowsill, he looked at me most indignantly before flying off.
A grandson was born as we flew to New York, O joy; then my foot got mauled by a trundling suitcase, O pain.
I finally gave in and started taking the anti-depressants.

Another sleepless night , made a cup of tea and eventually nodded off
to radio 4. Woke up to hear about the EU elections and protest votes for
the Greens or EU Independents . Then realised knew nothing about the
persons standing, not even their names. No leaflets through my door ,
nobody knocking on my door to explain why I should vote for them.
With such disdain for the electorate why should I bother to vote for
any off them !

Many years ago, as a key IT employee of an investment management company, I was allocated free parking on the terrace at Old Billingsgate during a train strike - last night I waited until midnight outside Old Billingsgate for my fare to come out of a big party, so that I could drive him home in my boss's taxi.
