I worked very hard today, and felt that I had earned my sleep by the end of it. It seems that I am now back into the groove of working. I think you develop a rhythm in such things, and whilst I do seem to have a varied timetable each week, momentum is a wonderful thing. I am still behind on certain admin tasks that are becoming quite urgent, but I am sure I will remedy this in the next few days. I am also hoping that I can really knuckle down with the writing side of things, as I am enjoying that a lot also. It was Mr Pops Birthday today, and I shall look forward to sharing a small glass of sherry with him in belated celebration quite soon. I am rubbish at sending birthday cards, and this is something I must try to remedy. I took on the job of sending family birthday cards last year, and did pretty well. This year I need to add friends to the list as well. After School club and Evening session went well, and we had more newbies turning up, which is excellent. I think all of our T Shirts have now been distributed as well, so it has been a busy and productive start to the year. In the evening I watched a film called Archipelago, which was interesting. I watched it as it was recommended by Andrew Collins who is a writer/journalist that I rather like. I am not sure if I was in the wrong frame of mind, but it seemed to me to be rather to clever for its own good. It was far too self aware in fact. Fixed cameras and static actors make some shots interesting, but I found it irritating in places. The scenery was beautiful, and bleak and suited the story of a family get together that disintegrated as it became obvious that the Father was not going to attend, but by the end of it, I wondered really....what was the point.
