The wind-up radio is so far without a doubt the ruler of the world of eco gadgets. Brining radio to everyone around the world without the need for costly batteries or electricty it also paved the way for other wind up gadgets such as torches, and walkie talkies. Today sees the release of what I see as being another ingenious gadget; the shower powered radio. If you are a regular watcher of Dragon’s Den you may remember this particular gadget as the inventor, Vivian Blick who incidentally worked with Trevor Baylis on the wind-up radio, appeared with the H2O radio, only to see the Dragons fail to invest. Undeterred he has gone away and managed to bring the H20 Radio to market anyway.

The Radio fixes simply to the shower hose, and is powered by the flowing water driving a micro turbine inside the radio, providing enough power for you to tune into your favourite stations and sing along in the shower, and who doesn’t like a good sing to start their morning!?

If you are of the green disposition there are many energy saving gadgets to be found in our Eco section, including some ingenious wind up items, but not any water powered ones… just yet…

As you may have noticed, our Mother’s Day section is now live on our site, and filled with a vast array of great gift idea’s for the most special lady in all our lives! There are a few weeks to go until April the 3rd for you to make sure you’re fully prepared, but we don’t think that we can ever be ready early enough, or do enough for our mums every Mother’s Day.

It can be difficult to understand just how much our mum’s do for us, even if we don’t realise it. I think that the only real way to know what a mum does, or goes through on behalf of all of their children is to be a mother yourself. They have a bond closer, and more unconditional than anyone else ever will. It doesn’t matter what any of us do, mum will always be there for us, and Mother’s Day is the one day a year that we can really show that we appreciate what they do for us. Mother’s Day can be seen as an inconvenience, another day aside from Birthdays and Christmas when we have to buy presents and cards, but we don’t. In fact Mum’s tend to ask very little of their children, but the least we can do is show our mum that we care, that we appreciate what they do for us, and that we love them as unconditionally as they love us.

I heard this song a long time ago, but I think it perfectly sums up some of things that mothers do for us all, without us even thinking about it. This Mother’s Day make sure you make your mum feel truly special.

Everywhere you look at the moment the news seems to be filled with doom and gloom. Whether at home, or overseas the papers are filled with stories detailing natural disasters, difficult economic times, and other such depressing stories. This being the case I’ve been looking out for news stories to make us all feel a bit better, some good news for a change!

You don’t need to look too hard just past the front pages, where if you are Irish you can be glad of your team’s win over the English in the cricket yesterday. Alternatively if you are English you can forget the cricket and instead bask in the Rugby Union team’s victory over the French at the weekend. If you happen to be a Birmingham fan there is your Carling Cup win also from the weekend, the club’s first trophy for some 60-odd years, and well deserved it was too!

It’s not just sporting good news either, for all you Apple fans the iPad 2 was officially unveiled yesterday and will go on sale on Friday the 25th of March.

The story that caught my eye however, and showed that there is always something good to come out of even the darkest days, was the story of an abandoned puppy, left on the step of a veterinary surgery and had to be put down because it was deemed too ill. The next day however the puppy, now called Wall-e was found to be alive and well, and is currently going through the process of being re-homed, showing that things can work out Ok in the end.

Have you had any good news this week, why not share it and help cheer everyone up a little?
