The whole place seems to be shaking, we’re told from roadworks where a roundabout is becoming a set of traffic lights. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to find they’ve hit an old mine-shaft and the whole area is one 400ft deep hole tomorrow morning.
Some rooms are shake than others, it depends on how close to the roadworks you are, and some rooms just pick up the vibes and resonate more. The Art rooms have always sort of… wobbled, even to passing lorries. Other rooms just rumble with not wobbles felt underfoot. You have ot wonder what effect it will have on that old building.

Still, it’s the oddest thing, a bit like being in Japan.

Secondly: the blogosphere is a place of shifting sands. Writers move, lose interest and move on, but stil there are 52 million writers putting up a post each day. Of those leaving, more than half of my "Art ring" so there was no point keeping the ring at all. Ping! it be gone. Life is calmer on msn(live) spaces compared to a year ago, comments are left less often and fewer new sites of interest are appearing. Perhaps it is time to look into moving activities to another place like Blogger or similar.

Back to work is the usual shock, physically and mentally. It’s not just us feeling this way, the kids are too. They’re refeshed but still heave great sighs and then yawns. Some, clearly have been feeling somewhat stressed in the build-up to the return. I espect some have lost sleep and maybe even had nightmares.
It all takes time from creative, pursuits leaving Live with fewer entries from me. Once I am over it and recovered it should be easier to spill thoughts over here more regularly. Going back hasn’t been all bad, the new year sees us with a new head of dept. who is excellent, and a tutor group who are gorgeous. Bless them.
There are too many holiday things not finished: the animated trees video is not near done, the grass needs a cut and the rest.
Oh, and there is a troublesome painting on the shelf up there (points).
