Due to being overworked at my job, I haven't done a scrap of anything creative for the past seven months. This is bad. I used the long weekend just gone to do a lot of clearing out (about 8 normal sized wheelie bins worth / two tip runs with the camper completely filled) My little home studio is now ready for some action.

Still alive
Still working in manchester - still not enjoying commuting in, but it is an interesting job, so I keep dragging myself out of bed to do it. Knackered most of the time though.

Application for a job I'd love to do sent off, and I've got a telephone interview at two. Gulp. *Hate* interviews. Just drop me in somewhere and I'll get on with it, but I hate this jumping through flaming hoops that you have to do to get in somewhere. Still, the interview is for an interesting sounding job, so I'll be keeping my fingers
