1) An excellent interview on Into the Gloss with my favourite hairdresser, James Pecis. [Picture: Into the Gloss]

2) Drum solo or guitar solo?

3) An interview with the founders of Happy Socks. They are as happy as you would hope!

4) The almighty Kris Atomic on gift guides. I’m filled with trepidation ahead of my own gift guides…

5) And don’t forget that you can donate to Children in Need here. Children in Need usually seems to involve a night out for me and I’m of the mind that if you can spend a tenner on a round, you can probably donate some money to some kids too.

Sorry for the lack of pictures – a day off work makes me massively lazy, it seems.
