This could happen to your fruit if you leave it out on the side. The fruit in this video was left out for about 2 months!

I spent about an hour today on the governments petition website, which I had never known about before. Basically if you want to start a petition you write what it's about, post it, and people can sign up to your petition and make your viewpoint heard.

There's some right strange stuff on there that people are petitioning for but also some good gubbins. One petition is all about reducing tax on healthy juices and smoothies! As you can imagine, this grabbed my attention and I put my name to the petition.

Every now and then I take a look down the tropical fruit isle at my local supermarket (Tesco) to see if there's any new or interesting fruits. This week my eyes stumbled upon some very small bananas. Upon reading the label I discovered that they were in fact 'Bananitos' grown in Costa Rico. I was quite excited because I remember eating a very sweet tasting mini-banana fruit in Cambodia.

I have just got back from watching the new film 'Amazing Grace' about the abolition of the slave trade throughout the former British empire. I sobbed for much of the film, knowing what happened and the passion of the ones who fought to abolish the slave trade. But I cried even more knowing that the slave trade was still going on today!

Today I (Jake) helped out at a Fairtrade stall in the Sanctuary (canteen) at Uni. We were selling loads of fairly traded food and giving out fairtrade fortune cookies (not really fortune cookies but had web address's on for fairtrade stuff, so better than any fortune cookie!). I didn't let people leave without taking a leaflet, there was quite literally a leaflet between them and the door! So much of newman has been dosed up on fairtrade, get in! and I got some nice fairtrade buntin to brighten my room and spread the fairtrade goodness!!!!

Because I only had one lesson today, me and the charity team decided to prepare for Fairtrade Fortnight. We put up loads of posters around school, distributed leaflets, put a message in the school bulletin and made a big notice for the school plasma TVs! (picture below, sorry for poor quality, it's on my phone)

Just got back from 10 days skiing in the swiss ski resort of Wengen, just under the famous north face of the Eiger. Had a great time and although the snow was a bit patchy the weather was mostly great. One of the highlights was hitting about 90 kmph down the Haneggschuss of the Lauberhorn Ski Race, although unfortunately the bindings on my skis gave way part way down and so I'm a bit bruised!! But it was great fun and I'd do it again, although hopefully with out the stop next time!!! I'm a big fan of skiing and had a great hol."

Today Jake and I went paintballing. It was very intense and our favourite course was the trenches. Some members of our team did very well and I managed to get some good kills and captured the objective once. I'm not sure about jake but i'm relatively bruise free, still a bit knackered though, just relaxing with an ice cool strawberry and banana smoothie.

It wasn't sunny! We got covered in sloshy mud
