The Press

I am supposed to be writting a press release right now. I dont actually know what a press release should look like or why I might really want to write one and I cant manage to write things about myself without turning it into a corny spoof advert for a new range of garden tools.It is very hard to write in the third person and take it seriously. Prehapse thats the answer. I could write in in the first person and persuade Paul to alter all the 'I's' to 'She's'. -And what is a press pack? Thalia says that it is one of the plastic bases you get underneath a Pizza. I am building up to do the BCTF at Harrogate in April and suddenly find I need to create a lot of paper (or digital) things that I have never done before. Order forms and Invoicing and Press packs. I suppose this is called being in business - but I dont like it and as you can see I am avoiding doing it by blogging. I enjoyed taking photos though.This is my do-it-yourself photo studio with tracing paper stuck to chairs and white card.

and these are the sort of photos I can do with this system. Not very imaginative but they will do the job for now.

Spring has sprung in our house. The tomato seeds have germinated and I have planted the sweetcorn and broad beans etc - ready to go. I am paying the rent on the allotments this weekend. At £22. per year for a 100 x 30 foot plot you cant argue. My mother gets this half price as a pensioner.

I finally made a new house number. So there is no excuse now for the postman to not find me and maybe even my son maybe able to locate his home once in a while.
