This week I have been mostly... 16th August Edition

On holiday...

Well sorta, not working at least, decided it was time I took a few days off again. Problem with being a self employed artistic sort means I pretty much work 12 hours a day (at least) 7 days a week. I struggle to relax at home as there's always something I should be doing, so for me to relax at all I have to put myself in a position where working is impossible. Still being without a computer for editing and with my gigs at the Edinburgh Fringe imminent I figured now was the best time for a little break. So me and the Evil Genius packed up and toddled off to his mamma's house in deepest darkest Wales for a few days of quiet.

This week I have been mostly... 13th June Edition

Hola,

This week I have been mostly chilling out! The biggest drawback to being self employed, the one you never think about before you try running your own business, is the lack of time off. Before you start you assume you'll be able to take time off whenever you need it, well you cant. You can take time off when you have earned the rent! Having met this criterion this month, I decided it was about time I took a little holiday, albeit one on a rather tight budget.

As luck would have it, The Evil Genius's momma has just moved to Wales and a rather nice, country side-y bit of wales at that, LlanFair. So with various relaxation aids packed including 1940's & 1950's fashion histories and a giant tapestry of a fairy I've been working on for about ten years, we embarked on the surprisingly short jaunt to wales, via a rather fine roadside greasy spoon for bacon butties (I believe I have mentioned before my penchant for a good greasy spoon!). Tuesday evening was spent mainly sat on the veranda enjoying the weather and peace, topped off with a little scenic walk to the local pub 'The Goat' and some real ale. Absolutely delightful!


Obligatory holiday snap of a boat, cause you have to, don't you!
