The two adorable white ponies are starring in Cinderella at The Kings Theatre just round the corner. They looked picture perfect and made me a very happy girl. Hooray for ponies!

“Mate of mine had his garage done today. Bold as brass daylight job. Well planned – had been watching their routine and did it over on the first day back at school, took all the adult bikes and power tools and drill bits but oddly left the kids’ Islabikes. It was a well-secured garage, would have taken a big bolt-cutter to snip the lock.

Apparently there’s been a spate of similar jobs in the area so if you know anyone in Portsmouth tip them off.”

Spencer is in intensive care but is on the mend, get well soon and all the best.

‘It is a cause very close to our hearts. My grandad is 74 and I’ve seen first-hand how dementia has affected him. He’s at the stage where he knows he is forgetting things, but can’t help it. He used to be able to drive and was quite independent, but he can’t be like that any more. My other friends have also been affected by family members suffering from dementia.’

In July the trio will be cycling 3,000 miles and have called the journey ‘miles for memories.’ Their adventure will see them cycle through 15 states finishing in California towards the end of September. The idea came from Katie and Amy, who have both graduated from Portsmouth University, where all three girls met.

You can keep uo to date with the girls progress over at their blog milesformemories.wordpress.com. All the best and good luck.

Being a father of a little princess myself, I could not bear to imagine how families out there feel when discovering a child has Cancer and to know tht my locks could go to helping a child and their family, brings a smile to my face. I am aiming to raise £250 as after talking to a spokeswoman from the charity, I was told this is the minimum a real hair wig can cost (I hasten to add the wigs are given free to the children). So If I can break this target it would be great.

So there it is, the long hair needs to go but this time not in the bin! Please visit their site and find out how your money and my hair would go to benefit Cancer victims and if you ever feel the urge to cut your hair, please don’t forget this charity.

Portsdown Hill has been identified as a hot spot when it comes to sightings and does host sky watching evenings with people vigilantly observing the skies, hoping to view, film and photograph something out of the ordinary. Now obviously, living in an area with major military activity, the logical first thought is that all sightings will probably be something like a Chinook helicopter or oven something more ordinary like a light aircraft or Chinese lanterns caught in high breeze but not all the eyewitness accounts and even videos match those simple answers…resulting in literal unidentified, flying objects. The truth is out there, or something.

You can read many sightings over Portsmouth here and If you have any stories of your own we would love to hear them! Don’t be shy, please add them as a comment.

“I filmed these two strange metallic spheres floating in the sky late this afternoon (28th Feb 2011). Completely silent, no smoke contrail and the spheres where really shiny metallic and very reflective. Very bizarre!!”

“This astonishing, (and what we believe to be structured), object was filmed by a witness who was out trying his brand new, Sony HD handycam for the first time on a Skywatch. He initially saw this ufo as a red orb rising up from an area which is Farlington Marshes, Langstone Harbour, looking towards Hayling Island, Hants, UK.”
