I got to the museum in plenty of time on Wednesday to take over the evening storytelling shift while David went off to appear in Wuthering Heights. Five minutes later, my first audience came in ( Read more... )

Yesterday, N and I went to the opening of Anne Sudworth’s new exhibition at The Grail Centre in Glastonbury. It was a long drive, but very much worth it. Not only did we get to see Anne’s beautiful new paintings, but it was a chance to socialise with her, as well as Ian Whates and Helen - and Honey the puppy - and loads of other friends *waves at ( Read more... )

Having had a bit of an unfocused time lately, I think I'm sharpening up my thinking skills with a view to properly working towards SEKRIT PROJECT.

To this end, I have created a new website - www.donna-scott.co.uk

Having watched Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace last week, I can't help but feel that I am slightly commodyfing myself, but ( Read more... )

It's ridiculously early for getting up on a Saturday, but I'm round at my parents' house and it looks like insomnia has bitten. Never mind, everyone should be up in the next fifteen minutes or so, as my 6-year old nephew, the Genius (maths merit badge yesterday, folks. Apparently it was 'easy') has a birthday party to go to.

It has been one of those massively busy weeks where all the different threads of my life have made some kind of demand or plea of urgency. Day job has been manic, and the editing side of my life has given me plenty to do as well, but having achieved what I set out to achieve I have looked at my ‘to do’ list and realised there is actually a lot ( Read more... )

I'm currently sitting at home in jim-jams, having been working all evening on something which is kind of not to do with Sekrit Project and may take me away from it, but a fab opportunity, so well worth the application of effort. A punnet of strawberries has been achieving room temperature for hours now, so will be a very late pudding, but I don't ( Read more... )

A wonderful day was spent in Oxford yesterday, where N and I went to the Write Fantastic's Fifth Aniversary event. N and I are used to seeing just the one end of Cowley Road when we go there for gigs, but we fell in love properly yesterday, particularly after Ian Watson gave us a quick beery tour of the pubs near the Bodlean, and I stared in ( Read more... )
