Yesterday went OK, the studio is very hot and I'm going to try and get a fan sorted out until we get some sort of air cooling - but it was a good start - much smoother than last year. Will have to see how things pan out.
Spending the morning with year 2 and laying down the law with them - should be interesting.
Up very early, Little mouse was a complete nightmare on the walk so we came back early - she has a real bloodlust at the moment and attacks anything that moves ( cats and squirrels - not people ) - because it's still dark first thing she goes for anything, wind blown leaves, birds - absolute horror. I'm due to start my 'get up at 5am and go running' fantasy soon.... so they will be out slightly later.
Watched an old Roger Corman gothic Edgar Allen Poe film last night - very hammy and camp, played for laughs - Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre joined by a wooden, fey and totally talentless young male lead in his first role - Jack Nicholson or something. I've never liked him in anything.
Really tired today, slept quite badly. Coming home at lunch time with the college van to pick up 15 bags of design magazines I rescued from the skip when we moved out of the old college - and putting them in the studio so the students can chop them up. No point being precious.
My one link with the outside world ( facebook ) has gone horribly wrong after the latest re-vamp. i now hate it with a passion and have no idea what is going on, it's confused and counter intuative. I am also able to see things that would previously been hidden from me - such as people talking about me, in a handy, live stream 'bully board' on the right hand side. I joined Google plus when it came out but I have no idea how to use that one either - it's very odd. I'll just have to recede into myself.
Still waiting for a very large invoice to be paid, it's getting late now - I shall have to pursue...

I'm working off a bad night of sleep and a head cold myself. The sight and sound of me must be something 'cause i got kicked out of the office this morning.
so here I am wandering the blog and your's is the first one I've found that was interesting.
Your receding has been interrupted.
I'm waiting on check too...for some writing. It's about two months late now. One hundred bucks....just enough to make it awkward. Who makes a stink over an hundred bucks (at least in regards to what is essentially a hobby)? Still that's pocket money...that's two cartons of cigarettes.
That's interesting - I often agonise about the politics of 'when to make a fuss' - if it's too small an amount - it is deemed vulgar to bleat, if it's too large - one is expected to wait longer, and is made to feel awkward about drawing attention to the amount they are getting paid, as if they are boasting - most accounts people I deal with seem to think the money comes out of their wages.
