Hells bells! I have been the victim of dodgy tabloid journalism. My company's in-house newspaper (called "Life" and known affectionately as "Death" by many of its readers) has reported - with pictures - that I took part in a Santa Fun Run in Liverpool on December 3 to raise money for the Liverpool Sunrise Fund.
As regular blog followers will know, I did indeed run dressed as Father Christmas that day but it was for Hope House/Ty Gobaith children's hospices and the picture of me was taken at the finishing line ...in Oswestry.
Bloody journalists.
I have just come back from a busy two days of meetings in the big city on the Mersey. The 'pool is still like a massive building site but things are starting to take shape at the enormous new shopping centre and the new arena by the river looks very impressive (apart from the fact that the developers have put just about the ugliest car park in history right in front of it).
My deputy Gregg Fray has kept the paper firing on all cylinders (despite having a dose of flu) so he gets the hero of the week award. We are getting ready to launch a new section in Friday's edition of the Daily Post. It's called Go and features five pages of reports about concerts, theatre, days out and more not just in North Wales but further afield, reflecting the fact that many readers are happy to travel over to Merseyside, Cheshire and Manchester to go to a concert or see a show.
We have also lined up a fantastic partwork that will appear throughout the week commencing February 26. It features a total of 48 pages packed with fantastic photos of North Wales from the air.
Also, check the website (dailypost.co.uk) on Monday to see a wonderful aerial video of North Wales by our picture editor Richard Williams.
