I am back again, finally, after sorting out all of the kerfuffle with eldest son. The Mail Art Exhibition finished on a much more positive note, and is now awaiting its next destination, which will be the U.S!
The interview with the student joournalist went well, and he asked if we were doing anything for the Christmas Market, so I’ve been incredibly busy organising something amazing for that.

I entered something from my Apparatjik travels for the Saatchi Magazine Art & Music magazine Point & Shoot Photography competition: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1015223441…
I thought it fit the criteria perfectly – Apparatjik combine art & music, are so cutting edge no one’s heard of them practically, and I had an image taken from their performance in Oslo. The other images that have been submitted are of more generic subjects, and the final winner is decided on Facebook likes. So far I’ve received some likes, but not as many as some entries that seem more popular,
but does popularity equal quality??
I honestly don’t think my submission will win now, unless I spam it, or buy likes, and I’m not really prepared to do either, as it would be disingenous. And that will be a shame, because I entered initially thinking that it would be great for Apparatjik.
A week last Thursday, I attended a Creative Careers seminar, during which a discussion took place that resulted in the outcome that the University are looking into the possibility of employing me as non-academic staff to run the LAN as an affiliate business venture for the career development of graduates. This has been agreed to happen, it will just take some time to get going! This is an exciting development that will mean I Get Paid! Emily Speed take note :-)
It was good to catch up with Alice Bradshaw again on Friday evening *waves* :-)
