Everything in its place

...Well kind of.

It's about a month since we started moving house and we are IN. The Acorns is as nice to be in as I assumed it would be. I've still got a bunch of boxes around in "the study" as I am pretentiously calling the office. I'll probably finish those up this weekend. Well, I'll try anyway. It's a tricky task because I have very few bits of furniture to put the things into.

The actual move was gruelling. The week following our actual moving out day was filled with arrangements I forgot to make and had to fix at the last minute. It wasn't all my fault for leaving it till the last minute as you might think. The moving day stayed the same even though the echange and completion days changed, which meant we had a week off the back of the move to sort stuff out, but there was a (huge expletive) load of stuff still to sort out which I had to do totally on my own while doing my day job. I barely finished in time. When I was clearing out rubbish bags of stuff out of the back garden the new people were parking the van moving in the front door. That was a bit too tight.

Still, as moving becomes a slightly acid memory, we're now settling into a slightly less debt ridden and fraught existence. I've been working quite hard on the Secret Project I can't talk about and doing great editing and visual effects. One day when it's all out in the open I'll let you all see the film I made, but for the moment it's firmly under wraps. It has been tying me up in the evenings for weeks but now it's finished. Looking forward to the next stage, because I get to refine what we did and make it even better. But I'm more proud of this than I have been of almost any other work I've done in the last year. Working for clients really ups your game.

Actually having a bit of leisure time has been weird. I don't really know how to relax, I've forgotten how. But I'm working on it.

Saw some really good movies recently: "The Notorious Bettie Page" was superb, and while a little tittilating, was actually a lot more touching and wholesome than you would at first think, and I really loved it for so many reasons. "Perfume" was the most amazing thing and features a most amazing spellbinding performance from the young man in the leading role, Ben Wishaw. And "The Fountain" which is the new movie by one of my favourite whacko directors Darren Aronofsky.

That's enough for now. It's really hot and close and I think we need to get to bed if we want to watch the season finale for "House" we just downloaded.

Toodles, poodles. xxx
