Life has not been a bed of roses for the first eight months of this year. My house has been beset by builders who have been completely re-rendering and restoring everything on the outside, a job that has so far taken five months instead of the expected five weeks! I have also had the added joy of frequent hospital tests (including another colonoscopy) and my 88-year-old Dad deciding that he should learn how to use a computer - with me (who knows nothing myself) teaching him. My Mum also had a health scare which thankfully amounted to nothing.
All of which means I haven't been as productive as I would like to have been BUT things are beginning to look better. The house is NEARLY done (or at least the difficult stuff) and the builders don't need me to be around so much, the health tests are done for now (no results yet - ulp!), my Mum is okay but my Dad is still wrestling with the computer. We are therefore now in a position to film more things (and edit some of the ones we have shot already), and sessions like the one with Lily S are all I need to inspire me. I am certainly hoping that Sept will see a lot more from us than the previous six months. I won't say what the items will be cos then somebody else will do them first (and worse!).
I am sorry for our quiet period but real life does get in the way of sploshing occasionally.
