10 smiles of The week
slipper success
Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard Of Oz have been saved after a crowdfunding campaign. Never mind over the rainbow – fans will be over the moon!
big bang
We hope you have fun on Guy Fawkes night. A well-organised firework display still has the power to wow – no matter what age you are.
in The red
The iN10 team have spotted three red squirrels in the past week. A sign they are fighting back against the greys?
cosy nights
So it’s time to put the clocks back. It does make teatimes more cosy if you have hot grub on a cold, dark evening.
sing a song
Hallowe’en is here again. We hope the little guisers have a joke or a song – none of this “trick or treat” nonsense!
child’s pay
A gold coin an Essex man played with as a child after he was given it by his grandad has been valued at £250,000. Quick – check your kids’ toyboxes for diamondstudded Lego and solid gold Meccano!
Terrific ’Taches
If you see an upsurge in hairy faces, don’t worry, it’s Movember again. This must be the only month when mousers are a force for good.
hair Today . . .
Tennis player Svetlana Kuznetsova hacked off her ponytail because it was annoying her – and went on to win. Cue players nipping off to the barbers midgame if it’s not going well.
flamingo fun
Decorative flamingos and pineapples are among the products folk could not live without, according to a report into a year in the life of the British shopper. Errr . . . OK. We must have missed that memo.
good pals
A friend is someone who knows you and loves you just the same.
