Today was the day!
I am now the proud owner of a set of keys!
After all the waiting and building snag-list sorting, I at last have access to this fantastic building. Had an introductory meeting with some councillors and potential sponsors at the Chapel Arts studios as well. Seem like a very decent bunch, and once again I have come away feeling nothing but encouragement from the people I am dealing with during this residency.
Left them to go Andover Sound (106.4FM!) and gave my first radio interview. Goodness knows what it’ll sound like, as I tend to hate the sound of my voice when it’s played back. I think this is a common thing, is it not?
Now back at our flat, having moved in the first of the studio stuff, including a makeshift table and chair set. Actually it’s our garden furniture, but who’s worried right now? I’ve put the word out and hopefully something will appear. Deck chairs can only be sat on for so long!
So for now it’s time to sit back with a cup of tea, as the move is finally over. The house is only full of house stuff, the bathroom is ours once again, and the New Keys are safely in the key pot. Feeling completely battered by all the events this last fortnight, and who knows, maybe one of these days I’ll be able to graduate from waffle onto something more coherent! For now, I’ll just keep checking-in and reporting for duty.
