Can you seriously believe….
… That they (yes, the unknown 'they') are building a beach volleyball court, shedloads of sand and all, in Wimbledon Park???? I think they call it Olympic Legacy… or is that Lunacy? All sad dads and bikini-ogling oddbods – feel that call to SW19….

I have a website!
It's a bloody miracle – my Brand Mojo website is finally up and running. Tinternetman is making some final tweakettes to 'oh should this be a semi-colon or a comma?' type of meaningless guff, and then he's going off on holiday to get away from me. A sort of low key but momentous day –…

Introducing Scrumpy…
So – only two weeks now and this furry little Springer Spaniel lady will be coming to join the Hawkes house. Identify yourselves now if you want to come round for a stroke (the puppy, pervo), a puppy walk or if you are a closet dog-owner who'd like to be on the list of 'owner…
