A good day yesterday which focussed on two main topics: the first was a little light editing of "C", and the second was working on some more detailed ideas around what might follow later in the summer once we have moved. Interestingly I didn't write any more to the short story I started on spec … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 12th May →

There is only one thing to focus on from the retreat yesterday: my performance of Crash in the evening to seven souls who didn't know what they were letting themselves in for! And it went really well. I was nervous at the beginning - which showed - but I think I got into my stride … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 11th May →

It was a little bit of a mixed day with some further work on "C", a 'sofa read' of Crash, and then mainly minor admin activity around New Contexts: 5, Contextual: … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 7th May →

A quiet day yesterday with most activity spent on "C", posting on this website, some minor tings here and there. Nothing to write home about. 'Life' and 'sorting stuff out' took a chunk of the day. None of my time was spent worrying about 'the Coronation', and I need to report that it will absorb … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 6th May →
