Yeah, it’s not working out is it?

Don’t worry it’s not you, it’s me, sorry. Just can’t go on like this, I can’t give you the time you need, it’s not fair on you. Going to have to let you go and get on with my life. It will be hard but I think we can both see by the way I’ve neglected you that it’s for the best. I can still visit occasionally, so ( Read more... )

Oh dear, not sure what happened to blogging in March!

Feel the need for a ‘previously on’ lead in…

Crewed at Cardiff ComicCon at the beginning of the month - as always the highlight of any even of event is seeing the fans, particularly those who cosplay, and more specifically those who force/coerce/persuade their offspring. My two favourites ( Read more... )

It’s only the 9th but things have occurred!

I’ve sort of got a new job. Very long boring explanation behind it but in summary  - a colleague who has a fixed term position until the end of March is jumping ship before she’s pushed.  The museum still has Arts Council money to spend before the end of March so they want to fill the post. Enter me who ( Read more... )

While I wait for my third Christmas cake to bake in the oven I thought I’d complete one of the ‘my year in review’ type things. This one I borrowed from http://hathy-col.livejournal.com/. A blog I read but have never said hello, hello!

01. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?
Went to a Star Wars convention, in Germany. Held my new ( Read more... )

Saw my birthday in with a full day at work on Monday. Quite a contrast from crewing at the Star Trek convention last year. Got cake and presents which was lovely. Went fencing in the evening and we got the electrics out and had some proper matches. I even won a fight against a grown up - who takes takes it all considerably more seriously than I do ( Read more... )

September why have you brought so much angst to my life? August was pretty great, welcomed my new godson in to the world, little Thomas who is the image of his big sister as a new born. Big sister started school this time and is loving it.

In no particular order the main highlights of this month so far has been;

• A man collapsed and died at work *
• A ( Read more... )

Having worked in museums & art galleries for going on four years now I feel able to present my personal view on the delicate subject that is Modern Art. It’s not to everyone’s taste I admit, I’m certain some people can’t accept any art that isn’t presented in a gold frame. But some is good and should be held in the same regard as more traditional ( Read more... )

Day off! A chance to do all the little things and big things that I always plan to do when I’m not at work.

Main thing I’d hope to do was go to the cinema and see the new Joss Whedon film, ‘Much ado about nothing’, but turns out none of my local cinemas are showing it, pah. Wasn’t planning on a trip to the big city of Manchester to see if was on ( Read more... )

Had my friend from Cardiff stay this weekend, I was repaying my debt again as she puts up with my various Dr Who/Torchwood adventures when I go and stay with her. The sun shone everyday, it was glorious! On Saturday we visited Lancaster castle that until a year or two ago had still contained a working prison. Sunday was spent by the sea-side at ( Read more... )

Had a genuine work related debate on the correct spelling of ‘Lightsaber’. Helping one of my seniors prepare some literature based on a current modern art exhibition - one piece of which has a Star Wars vibe. I was pulled up when she proof read my text saying I’d spelt it wrong and it should be ‘Lightsabre’ which to be fair is the way you’d think ( Read more... )
