We're back in the morning to start your day when you do... xx B&L

They've taken the humble popcorn kernel and made it into a healthy snack - and it's available in flavours including Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar; Camembert, Gouda & Brie; Rock Salt; and Sweet Chipotle Chilli.

It's nothing new though... popcorn has been around for centuries. Indians used to pop corn kernels over fires or sizzling hot stones more than 5,000 years ago. The English who came to America in the 16th and 17th centuries learned about popcorn from the Native Americans.

So happy national popcorn day - if you're ready to pop and the diet isn't going so well, maybe popcorn's the answer?!

Just look at the way we lived back then... simpler times!

We promise you that this is the funniest thing you'll see today.

It's a great TV show and I don't really care either way - but this video has got me intrigued. Watch closely - and see if you can identify the mystery dancer who is playing a DJ in the Jedward video... no, it couldn't be. Could it?!

Recently NatWest launched a new fund, as part of its customer charter, to support local charities and projects, and invited customers and local people to decide who would benefit from this new community initiative.  380 individual funds of £5,000 were created nationwide, with £3,000 awarded to the most popular good cause and £1,000 to the two runners up. 

After weeks of voting hundreds of different charities were nominated by the public for the local donations. 

After carefully examining the nomination papers, the panel chose Dogs for the Disabled, the Friendship Project for Children and The Gap (Warwick Percy Estate Community Projects) as the three charities to benefit.  

The public are being invited to vote from 8th November on which of the three charities will receive the £3,000 top donation and which two will each receive £1,000, by visiting their local NatWest branch or by logging on to natwest.com/communityfund.

Sir Elton John has announced he will play three shows next summer with his band. Shrewsbury, Northampton and Hove will play host to Elton John as he undertakes a limited number of shows. 

Tickets will go on public sale on Thursday 28th October at 9am - you can buy them from our friends at the Ticket Factory. 

Elton will make a triumphant return to Northamptonshire and Sussex in 2011. Elton graced the gardens of Castle Ashby, Northamptonshire in 2000 and sold out the County Ground Hove back in 2006. However, this will be Elton’s first ever performance in Shrewsbury. 

We're very excited - let us know if you manage to get tickets!

This Friday morning we've got Rolf Harris on the show!

That day, my friend, has arrived. It was a horrible moment when I looked in the mirror the other morning and thought "hold on, I'm tubbier than I was yesterday". In the last year I've given up going to the gym because I simply don't have time (that's my excuse anyway!). One year ago I ran the Two Castles Run in a very respectable time - now the furthest I could manage is to the chip shop. I'm by no means overweight, I'm just not as lean as I once was - and I fear that if I don't start doing something about it now, shedding the pounds will be more difficult in the future. Something's got to change. So... I'm going to have to start eating more healthily and getting back to my old running habits... 

I'll let you know how it goes. 

Talking of ballooning, we had a great chat with a gentleman at the Hampton Ferry Charity Gala yesterday... he owns a hot air balloon and he's promised us a ride in his hot air balloon. We'll try and arrange it so that we can go up and do the show from a balloon - how cool would that be? We'll let you know when it's all arranged and if we're likely to be floating over your house!

We're back tomorrow but in the meantime, download the Podcast of all the best bits of last week's show - click here to go to the Podcast on the iTunes store.

This weekend, however, the weather forecast is slightly less inspiring. I'm not rushing out to buy spare-ribs and sausages, and I won't be lugging my picnic bag to St Nicholas Park. Just as I didn't last bank holiday weekend.

I think this is the problem. We have too many bank holidays in Spring, and not enough in Summer. If I was in charge of bank holidays, I'd space them out a bit. I know there are reasons behind our bank holidays - some traditional, some religious. But why not space them out a little more evenly. If there's a month to have two bank holidays, do it in July or September.

I've thought about this a lot. A bank holiday at the end of July would mean that parents could have an extra day to spend with their kids on the summer holidays. There would be less traffic around because a lot of people would already be on holiday.  And we wouldn't have all of our bank holiday eggs in one basket - they'd be a little more spaced out through the year instead of all coming at once. It's clear that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, in my world at least.

And how am I spending my Bank Holiday? (And this isn't a complaint before you point out that I play songs for a living!!!) I'm on air - and on my day off-air, I'm hosting "Music Was My First Love" at the Warwick Arts Centre. Just as well the weather's not going to be great then isn't it?

I had to buy a tyre pump so that I could pump up the tyres on my newly re-acquired mountain bike. I bought a mountain bike about four years ago with all good intentions of riding it - however, since then it's been sitting gathering dust in my dad's garage. It's been ridden about three times and has a slightly squeaky back wheel.

Very often at a weekend I like to walk along the canal by my house, and I thought that if I had a bike, it'd be easier to make a day of it and go further... so I asked my dad to get it down from the loft and I've now locked it in the bike shed at the back of my house.

I'm wondering if I can cycle to work one morning this week - it's seven miles and at 5:00am there's not much traffic about - it's getting back that could prove tricky... by the time I'm ready to leave I'm normally too tired to ride a bike.

I'll keep you posted! xx B

I know it doesn't sound very exciting but it saved SO much time for me. You bag your items as you go around the store - which, when you think about it, makes a lot of sense... Plus your bill is ready for you when you get to the checkout. 

If your nearest supermarket do it and you've never used it, have a go!

I've found a couple of fascinating websites which should kill a couple of hours for you if you're stuck at work:

http://www.radarvirtuel.com - see real time radar of all air traffic control across Europe

http://eldgos.mila.is/eyjafjallajokull-fra-valahnjuk/ - real time webcam of the actual volcano which exploded

And if you're wondering - yes - it's a slow day in the Touch FM office...
