February


Gosh, here we are, beginning of March, there's a bitter wind blowing up from the marshes, the snowdrops have faded, the daffodils are coming into bloom, we've had some truly outstanding sunsets here in Kent (probably pollution more than anything else) and even a lengthy 29 day February has flown by and where are we regarding progress? Well, lots of interviews and filming earlier this month, some more Ferens work completed, the William Morris Gallery booklet ready for publication save a final photograph, the design layout for FBSG accomplished, a couple of other projects nearing completion (of which more come the close of the month) and now I'm into transcribing all the interviews we conducted, which is a lengthy business. Today I transcribed the half hour interview with Peter Cormack and it took me roughly 2 hours plus breaks in between to stretch my back, go for a run, have a coffee, keep my mind alert etc - so basically the whole afternoon. I can visualise long long days stretching ahead of me, good basic production work but nothing creative, which tends to numb me, so I'll have to invent other carpe diem strategies for the remainder of each day to keep me happy.

Are you happy? :-)
