INTERNATIONAL seafaring charity, Sailors’ Society, have been running a good scheme.
Last week they ran their Wear Your Woolly Hat Week. It finished on Saturday (February 13).
The idea was that employers encourage their staff to take part and send a donation to the charity.
Money from the week will be used so that woolly hats can be purchased and distributed to ill-prepared seafarers.
A woolly hat has been essential in this recent cold weather and it helps you to keep warm, as a lot of heat is lost through the head.
The Sailors’ Society campaign distributes 20,000 hand-knitted hats to sailors.

Meanwhile, the nominations have been announced for this year’s Oscars, which will take place on Sunday, March 7.
Avatar, which I have not seen yet but want to, has nine nominations and amazingly Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds has eight. I thought this was a good film but not one of his best.
Christoph Waltz who is up for Best Supporting Actor in that film deserves an award though as his performance was very scary.

Poirot to be axed?
Sacre bleurs! Poirot could be axed from ITV after 20 years on our screens.
Yes, that is right mon ami, David Suchet, who plays the character in the TV show, has revealed that there are no plans to film the final stories in the Agatha Christie series.
The Belgian detective could have reached the end of the line.
The series started in 1989 and so far 65 films have been made and David Suchet had wanted to film all the stories Agatha Christie wrote about Poirot.
This year viewers will be able to see Poirot use his “little grey cells” to solve three more cases. These include The Clocks, staring Jaime Winstone, Hallowe’en Party and Murder On The Orient Express – which is seen as one of Christie’s best works.
I think it would be a shame if Poirot is axed – even though the show is now a bit tired. This sort of programme does not seem to be in fashion these days.
ITV have axed a number of programmes recently including The Royal, Sharpe, Kingdom, Where The Heart is and Heartbeat.
Meanwhile, it was a shame that Murray did not win a set against Federer.
It was interesting to see the difference in appearances between the two players in the third set. Federer looked composed and in control, as opposed to Murray, who was rushing through points.
Murray had his chances in the third set and was 5-2 up and had set points in the tie-break.
Let’s hope Murray gets another opportunity to win a slam.
