has taken me a week to get on the computer.
Jo Longhurst (http://www.jolonghurst.com) visited last week to check out the room, take photos & measure up. And it was brilliant to catch up, chat and talk through ideas.
Things I have managed to accomplish this week (even though its Easter holidays & had no childcare for weeks. Elder child just left to go on a grandparent break until sunday and the younger is snoozing. It is the younger who has caused chaos by changing his sleep pattern/needs. Gone is morning sleep i happily posted about which meant i could achieve things whilst the other is at nursery. Now its a giant middle of the day sleep which means no alone time at all….)
I have a 5 hour break booked on Tuesday as we are test driving a new/emergency/ad-hoc nanny, so maybe there will be another blog entry soon.
rant over. Back to the art & events achievements.
– I have registered a wordpress blog for check in & out and will use that as a gallery/ promotional space whilst continuing to use this one to empty my head & reflect.
– registered our interest to be included in the shepway fringe events guide & found out the deadline is the 5th and not the 11th.
– I have probably annoyed Triennial workers with my over exuberant emailing about wanting work over the past month. Then i received an email about jobs. The tour assistant work is a good student summer job, the hourly rate is above minimum wage but I would make no money/lose 50p an hour paying for childcare to actually do the job.
I am hoping the chat that i have this afternoon about a possible artist/educator role for 3 days in the summer holiday will be more positive. I know it shouldnt be all about the cash but it is all about the time i have and how I can afford to spend, use & lose it.
Love the arts, but dont want to be totally altrustic and do want a return of some form. Am I getting old & more cynical, when the experience is just not enough… oh well
RECIPRICATION in any form -is the name of (my) the game.
