Comic Relief - Red Nose Day - Friday the Thirteenth

Friday the Thirteenth is not actually the unluckiest day of the year...and we've now had two in consecutive months. For me the thirteenth is usually a lucky day and, although I'm not superstitious, I'll keep my fingers crossed for some good fortune!!

It's also Red Nose Day here in the UK. Hopefully loads of money will be raised for good causes in Africa and in Britain.
