Another week, another something or other

[bookzombie]

I know, I know, been almost silent again. Dunno why but I'm finding it hard to write at the moment.

Well, actually I do know why - I've been absolutely exhausted with work recently. I'm doing about 3 different jobs at the same time right now and trying to keep about a dozen plates in the air. When I get home if I've not got a rehearsal, I'm just collapsing in a heap!

On a more positive front, I booked our plane tickets for WisCon today! Only 3.5 months to go... We're also looking at what we are doing later in the year. It's my 40th birthday in November, so we are thinking of doing something special. Top of the list of possibilities is an 8-day tour of Japan, which for a stay-at-home sort of guy like me is both exciting and pretty scary.

It does mean that between the two trips we are not going to get more than a long weekend or two away during the summer but not to worry...

Otherwise, life is okay. Rehearsals are going well - only seven weeks to go now before the show. Another month would have been good, but we are doing our best with the time we've got and on the main it has remained good fun.

We need to get a new cooker sometime soon - our grill has packed up. I'm using it as an excuse to get the standard gas hob replaced with a longer one with a wok burner.

I've not been getting any writing done recently. Somehow I just can't conjure up the enthusiasm right now (so much for New Year 'good intentions').

Mmm, takeaway night tonight...
