A Big Year for Me and the Doctor
Posted Jan 1, 2010
A much bigger year for me than her, I started University September 2003 and this year I plan on finishing! the good Doctor plans on finishing too but didn't start Uni till 2005
Got the big show to put on in June and everything I do from the 12th of January until then will be for sale and I also plan on doing any commissions I receive.
Not planning on thinking any further than finishing right now, I know that I either have to search for a job at the end or go into self employment, which is a scary thought altogether. If I went into self employment then I would have to teach to help make up an income.
Yep so after starting as a 
I'm going to end a potter

Sleep Deprivation
Posted Sep 26, 2009
well the little one hasn't been himself at all for days , though this morning he seems more like himself and slept through the night except a short spat when he wanted to watch Derren Brown be a psychic spy. Ah my strange little boy.
Over the last week I haven't had that much sleep, just a similar amount to just before he was 13 months old when he still needed settling a few times a night. Slept on the sofa with him a a lot this week
Also started back at Uni and I already want the rest of the students to leave the uni and not some back again, as ten minute interviews with tutor turned into hour long interviews so I never got to speak to him, not that I wanted to as the particular tutor is a dour sour scottish man who hates everyone!
Last week end I went up to London for the first time in 15 years and it was a big thing for me as I don't really do big cities, I'm absolutely terrified and is one of the reasons why I have never been interviewed for a Uni course even though I'm on my third. I just had to force myself as I really want to see all the landscape art they have in the galleries there, didn't get to see all they had to offer in the National Gallery which means I will have to go back in a few more years.
Being in the art galleries really inspired me and made me want to draw a lot more and paint too. I want to be an artist/potter but there isn;t enough time to be so, not with a little one. Though the tutor I do like told me I had to draw more on my course because it is one of my strengths, though at the moment it doesn't feel so. so I have been watching Alwyn Crawshaw on discovery so I could pick up some tips.

Wiped out down the stairs
Posted Jul 5, 2009
Tis true the weather was too hot for me and I suffered a major dizzy spell and passed out, collapsing through the safety gate which had precautions not to go the wrong way. Apparently I then stood up and threw myself down the stairs backwards.
I'm fine apart from one or two friction burns and some bruises more of a silly feeling than anything else
Right now that's my journal for the year see you next one

Treacle Kitty
Posted Jun 14, 2008
We got a phone call this afternoon to say our kitty was dead, we suspected as much as she would have been missing for 4 weeks tomorrow. Apparently she was under the lilac tree at the bottom of a garden about fifty metres from our own home.
I find it good to know that she isn't trapped in a shed slowly starving *cough* but I will miss her even though she drove me crazy at times.
I was fine about it till our other cat brushed past my legs, we got him a month after we got Treacle so they have always been together and he has changed since she went missing he has been so affectionate and loving and I just can't stop thinking "how do you tell a cat his big sister is dead" but for all I know he has seen her as he always leaves the garden in that direction and there are no roads to cross.

Woot back after days!!!!
Posted Mar 28, 2008
My Nephew got my account locked and I couldn't remember my secret answer I should really get around to changing that as it was only a random stab in the dark that got me back on.
I've been locked out for the whole of the week 
Even when I'm not posting I'm never away this long.
So tired I'm off to bed
