It's been another goodly while since I wrote here ...

Archae project - I'm doing the writing, also the 'rough' sketches and an illustrator will be doing the drawings. My friend and I talked about it and I realised that if I did the illustration as well as the writing I'd have a huge job to do, and because I'm not confident in my art-skills, particularly archae illustration, then I'd limit my imagination/creativity in terms of the illustrations to what I feel able to do. I still give the briefs, they have to be done to my satisfaction ... but someone else does the work, someone who's experienced and well respected.

About half the booklet is written in its first/second draft version. I know it's got to be kicked about, beaten into shape, and most probably pruned ... but it's on its way! The early Neolithic is done, I just have to settle to do the Later Neolithic, early and later Bronze Ages ...

What I've found is that it gets my mind really working, something that doesn't happen often it seems. Not only that, having my mind active and busy has a knock on effect in lifting my mood greatly! The challenge is very good for me ... very good indeed ...

What else ... well ... I've started making some jewellery again. I've done some sketches ... I've been reading a lot.

And I've been sleeping a lot - I suspect I've allowed myself to become anaemic again ...

I've been without the Smartiepants for 2 weeks nearly as it failed it's MOT, and it's yet another catalogue of mishaps and delays in getting it fixed ... a pal of mine is urging me to 'get rid of the thing', but I can't. I've put too much money into it now, and replaced nearly all the parts that tend to go wrong ... and I love it ... hopefully I'll get it back this week and I'll have my wings again!

The lack of transport has made somethings difficult ... getting to my railway, visitng my Dad in hospital, and going to other places.

Aww thank you :)

Life has been good ... but very busy ... and has kept me away from the puter other than for quick email checks ...

I hope to catch up in the next week.

I see there's plenty of deviations to view ...

I'm not sure if you heard it, there was a nice radio programme about Cave Paintings in Cresswell Crags. There's a [link] here and you might be able to find it on listen again if you're interested XD
