:22:51. > :22:57.I don't really think about that much. I just try and get thd work
:22:58. > :23:01.done and don't bask in anything that might have happened because it is
:23:02. > :23:04.quite surreal. You're not jtst writing music for yourself because
:23:05. > :23:12.you also write for other people as well? Yes, I try to keep my fingers
:23:13. > :23:16.in lots of pies! Why is that because obviously your style is verx
:23:17. > :23:19.particular and yet when you hear the fact that you are writing for people
:23:20. > :23:23.like one Direction, it might surprise some people? As a
:23:24. > :23:34.songwriter, is good to try out different things and write different
:23:35. > :23:39.people. It is good to always try different things. There was huge
:23:40. > :23:44.excitement while ago in Suffolk when all your clothes suddenly arrived at
:23:45. > :23:50.the charity shops, we surprhsed by how many people wanted to bty some
:23:51. > :23:55.of your old shirts? Yes, I was. I am very happy that they were able to be
:23:56. > :24:00.put to a good cause, rather than sitting in my closet somewhdre. I
:24:01. > :24:05.know you are supporting the East Anglian children's Hospice suit you
:24:06. > :24:10.are very much someone who w`nts to support where you came from? Yes,
:24:11. > :24:14.definitely. There are many charities to support but I think if you pick
:24:15. > :24:18.the ones that are close to xour heart and home and my mum worked
:24:19. > :24:26.with them, is definitely a good cause. What next for you, what does
:24:27. > :24:31.the next year hold? Next ye`r is just touring all around the world.
:24:32. > :24:35.This is why I do it, Tariq hs the main focal point. I know evdryone is
:24:36. > :24:40.looking forward to hearing xou on Sunday, thanks so much for talking
:24:41. > :24:43.to us. He follows Dolly Parton, quhte a
:24:44. > :25:04.gear change! It has been quite muggy herd as
:25:05. > :25:09.well. The clean`up continues here as we can see after some torrential
:25:10. > :25:13.downpours. Norfolk was pretty hard hit and we still have some heavy
:25:14. > :25:18.showers around. Or tomorrow but not quite as bad as we have had today.
:25:19. > :25:22.We have had under a downpours right across the region. Let us look at
:25:23. > :25:25.the radar chart to see wherd these showers where. This is the weather
:25:26. > :25:31.front that has brought them within area of low pressure. There was a
:25:32. > :25:35.first thing and into the live sport of the morning. Npower break and
:25:36. > :25:39.then we had this next line of them and they have been extremelx heavy
:25:40. > :25:46.and they have not quite cle`red away, so they are heading north
:25:47. > :25:49.eastwards. Once those had cleared, it does look as though it whll
:25:50. > :25:55.become largely dry suit these showers becoming more scattdred and
:25:56. > :26:00.less frequent. Much of the night was that it will stay dry with clear
:26:01. > :26:05.spells developing. Not parthcularly cold with temperatures for lost of
:26:06. > :26:09.us staying in double figures with a light south`westerly wind. We start
:26:10. > :26:13.tomorrow with a similar picture It starts dry and then we will start to
:26:14. > :26:19.see these heavy downpours ddveloping but they are not expected to be as
:26:20. > :26:24.bad, or although if you catch one, you will get quite a deluge. There
:26:25. > :26:28.will be quite a scattering of them and they will tend to confine
:26:29. > :26:33.themselves to the eastern h`lf as we get into the middle part of the day
:26:34. > :26:40.and afternoon. We are looking at highs of between 17 and 19 degrees.
:26:41. > :26:44.Parts of Essex and Suffolk `re still affected with the showers. Lany
:26:45. > :26:48.places becoming largely dry by the end of the day and the chance of
:26:49. > :26:52.some sunshine coming out because much of the day looks as if it will
:26:53. > :26:57.stay rather gloomy and cloudy. E.On bad, it is looking quite settled.
:26:58. > :27:00.Sunday looks better. The risk of some showers around still btt this
:27:01. > :27:04.is the pressure pattern. We have a few days of it being quite settled
:27:05. > :27:10.before it changes into the liddle of next week. Sunday, from any of us,
:27:11. > :27:15.looks mainly dry with sunny spells. If you live across the eastdrn
:27:16. > :27:19.half, they could be some showers and there will be a collar and fresher
:27:20. > :27:23.feel to things on Sunday. Then we're into a couple of days where it gets
:27:24. > :27:29.quite dry and bright with stnny spells. Temperatures are 18 or 9
:27:30. > :27:38.degrees. A couple of nights to come where it will get wet cool.
:27:39. > :27:39.That's all from us, I hope xou have a great weekend, whether it is wet
:27:40. > :27:44.or not!
