Last week was a LOT. I oversaw the removal of a bunch of Barbara Hepworth sculptures (with only minor niggles, everything got out safely and I feel so much better being able to say that) and at the same time managed to open a temporary schools' art prize exhibition and a longer term textile exhibition AND assist with two events and I was so tired ( Read more... )

I have been struck down by a cold. Not surprising really given at least 2 people in our office were sniffling last week and Dad's been sick too and I guess I should be glad it waited till after my interview but bleuch. I do not have time to be sick. So far we're going with sore throat making it hard to swallow and a lovely sinus headache which is ( Read more... )

I think I've basically been hibernating this last week and feeling a bit sorry for myself because U've been epically useless at doing any of the things I wanted to this year which is STUPID because it's been a pretty great year (and a not bad week either) but there you go, the human brain on reaching an arbitrary year end will apparently tend to ( Read more... )

Computer still not working but I can't get it anywhere (I know and/or trust) to fix it till Saturday :-( I have a possible cunning plan to move that date sooner but we shall see. Why does technology have to make us so reliant and then collapse at the most annoying moment?!

I knew I should never have said anything about posting every day :-P clearly that only works when I give myself a thing to post every day (ie. a piece of art or poetry as I've done before) I mean possibly I'll try that again but not until September now ( Read more... )

Oh how I wish I weren't at work right now! With the sun shining down I've been lugging bits of furniture and paintings and display blocks up and down from our attic which is obviously enormously fun ( Read more... )

To step away from theatre for a moment (and also to step away from trying to update our website at work... my html skills are more or less at the "try it and see what breaks" stage) on Friday evening I went to see the Aurora Orchestra's latest New Moves concert at LSO St Lukes ( Read more... )

Having been annoyed recently that some productions I KNOW I really enjoyed have almost entirely escaped my memory (the RSC History Cycle, or more specifically the Henry IVs) I suppose I ought to be better at keeping up with this year's reviews ( Read more... )

In my continuing attempts to keep up with reviews I'm going to write about where I was this evening and yes I do know I've skipped 3 things from last week *coughs ( Read more... )

Today I am bribing myself to do tidying & sorting by interspersing it with more interesting things like posting about the theatre I've missed (though possibly it's that I'm bribing myself with a tidy & sorted room to ACTUALLY POST about the things I've seen I'm not entirely sure!

Anyway.

Two weeks ago today tikiaceae, ciorstaidh and I headed to the Royal Albert ( Read more... )
