Still pretty much immobilised but have succumbed to the offer of a stick to help me get around. I was absolutely determined not to let this stupid knee of mine keep me housebound so I have managed to get out for a couple of meetings. Times are exciting for Dover: it is one of the areas selected for Big Local funding (£1 million to spend over the next ten years on resident led projects) and there are initiatives to set up a regional music centre (in time). Also, DAD has been asked to lead on some creative consultancy work in schools and I am leading on this. It is rather daunting as I am not experienced but I’ve never been one to pass up an exciting challenge.
I am determined to get to the studio next week. I have six more pages of an incredibly tedious translation job to do and then I can get back to my usual routine and have some headspace back. If I can do more creative consultancy I can cut the translation work right back.
