bit busy lately

I've been having a bit of an 'unplanned' break away from blogging recently.

This is not through intention, but necessity. The last few weeks I went back to full-time art department work, which means for me, at the moment, an 8am-7pm kind of day.

By the weekend I feel a bit like this...

...just conking out on my back somewhere and staring at the horizon. But of course there is household stuff to catch up on... oh yes, and a post-graduate course! Any thoughts or time for nice things or any sense of Self, let alone blogging gets squeezed out - as anyone who works in the industry will tell you.

I don't want to keep going on about it, hence I haven't posted because it is rather all-consuming and I haven't done anything I've felt like sharing! I've a lot to be grateful for, with these kind of opportunities and some of my photos may be appearing on set - so as I was discussing with Suzanne earlier - it's like having 2 lives and having to switch from one to the other when and as you can.

Consequently I feel like spare time is used for some kind of self-maintainance and just catching up in preparation for the following week - let alone time for fun or crafting... It will only be for a few weeks, and I will get back into my creative swing after that... and after submitting my next 2 assignments mid May!

This was a sight on the bird table earlier in the week - a family of rooks have taken to visiting the garden, and I caught this one (they can sense you taking a photo, I'm sure!).

My...what a big beak you have! All the better to fly off with your fatballs with, m'dear!

I leave you with a funny thing I heard on BBC radio 4 this morning. In the 1970's Telly Savalas of Kojak fame narrated 3 short films on British towns - Birmingham, Portsmouth and Aberdeen. They were called Quota Quickies and were short British films funded to play alongside larger grossing US films. The Birmingham film is a hoot, and well worth watching for the over 40's dancers! Pure cheese. Who loves ya baby?
