I've been to the seaside!
Not for any beach related stuff though. I went to Portsmouth this morning to use their expansive promenade and meet a lovely bloke called John who taught me how to use 'jump stilts'. These are the things you attach to your legs that make you run faster and jump higher. Two skills that you might need if you want to become a superhero - like I do. Handy. Watch the video...

I thought it would be easier than cage fighting - but it wasn't really. I felt like I was learning to walk again but I got the hang of it in the end. Kind of.
Today on the show, you'll hear what happened today and I'll reveal my superhero name! How fun.
Oh!! Plus, I've got a graphic artist coming in to create my superhero image
AND!!! I've got Paul Smith from Maximo Park on after 6:30 too!
Very busy.

Are those stilts the things people had on in an advert for a bank? Zurich?

But yeah a handy thing to have if you're a superhero. Being a Villian would be much more easier.
