Without a doubt, the best news ever. How much better would the news be if every station did this?

The temperature minus thirty degrees and dropping.
The first taste of winter this winter. We can't complain, temperatures hovering at the +10, +12, degree Celsius range, now, however, winter's here.
In the morning the temperature in the house is 10 degrees. I crank the heat, the cats perch upon the vents, clouds of fur and dried cat-feces fill the air. Winter's here.
Probably the best hot chocolate in the world

Now I'd bought myself some hot chocolate discs - premium, at a correspondingly high price, while doing my Xmas shopping, and never gotten around to trying them. So today I brought one in and frothed some milk and stirred it up - chipotle chile & chocolate, a curious combination, but I'm a curious guy.
It was amazing. Not sweet, simply rich, pure chocolate. The best hot chocolate in the world. Now I'm curious to try their other flavours....

Walking with the boy through Kensington we pass a shop, or ground level office space, the window decorated with a logo of a naked man surrounded by rays of what presumably are light, or enlightenment, above is text advertising "Pure Leadership", beneath it the word "Homoluminous".
"Use that in conversation 5 times today" I tell the boy. It's the challenge.
We peer through the window, I've walked past this shop before. It's an office space, computers, desks, the floor covered in file folders and stray papers, on the desk beside the apple-branded computers are large rock crystals, geodes, there's a magic carpet carelessly knotted underneath the castors of the desk chair, a globe upon another desk, and I find myself wondering who on earth buys this bollocks. Really. I mean, what are they teaching leadership skills for? Getting people to drink the kool-aid? Who in their right mind walks into their office and looks at the mess of new age paraphernalia scattered across the desks and floor and decides that these people have something to teach them?
"Without seeming prejudiced" I tell him "It's pure bullshit".
