So after flirting with tweeting regularly and installing a clever plugin that automatically updated my blog with a weekly round up of my tweets I’ve accepted that this is lame way to maintain my (or any) blog and to that end I’ve stopped it this morning.
Instead I’ve decided to go back to the less-frequent-but-more-informative blogs actually written in one go by me rather than random 140 character mini-blogs all added together.
Of course I’m still doing those, and infact you can see them on the right hand side of my blog so not-that-much has changed really.
I’ve also given my blog a new theme, I think this theme looks better than the last one and I’ll try and customise it more at some point.
Work (as in day job) has been incredibly busy in the last few weeks. I’ve taken on something new and it has meant some long hours. This has had quite an impact on my progress on my first book…I’ve simply been too tired to make any significant progress. I’m sure Ben Marwood is angry.
Talking of Mr Marwood Broken Tail and Josaka have released two records in the last month one by Sixty Watt Bayonets and a split EP with Ben, Jim Lockey and Oxygen Thief. There have been deservedly great reviews for both.
Plans for doing some comedy shows later this year and having a new show to perform next year are coming together slowly but I’m starting to feel like I’ve got enough material for an hour which is good (as soon as I find time to actually write it down).
The last couple of weeks have been hectic at weekends too – Ben and Jerry’s Festival was great, I ate 7 ice creams in a day and caught up with my cousins (happy birthday alex), I seem to be on a losing run at bowling – much to my dismay (well done Ruth and Colin) good times have been had in Somerset for Philly and Keon’s wedding and today I’m off to see my Dad in Kent.
I hope you’re well.
Speak soon.
