If only....

Well...it's just coming up to 8:00am on Wednesday 9th of November and I've been wide awake since 5:15am. I can honestly say here and now that I have not worked so hard in all my life.
What I mean by that is that I have been creating my web based portfolio that I fell a little behind on. It's quite good fun and quite interesting actually which I hear myself saying and am quite suprised. Macromedia sucked a few weeks ago and I could have thrown my laptop and PDA at the wall at the best of times.
I guess there's a great deal of my background and growing up years that have stayed with me in a negative way which leads to my sometimes being both a little hard on myself, and sometimes feeling like giving up before going anywhere.
But recently having put the hard work and time/effort into things. I have found out what a buzz learning to use certain software can have of your sense of wellbeing. It's great to know that once the webcam is actually off the ground and set up 100% as I want it. I'll be able to not only allow peep to see me...(yuck) but also that the family I have around the globe from Africa...USA...Paris and so on will all be able to keep intouch. I am looking forward to using video chat with my brother Tony who lives with his family outside Paris. He's a legal eagle and is in charge of looking after the welfare of children whom are deemed as wards of court. I guess you could say he's a sort of social worker but with rather a lot more power of authority.
Anyway.....Better go now as things to do....

Besides which, Sophie my daughter comes home today and I wont get much time to do much then.


To end this blog and because I love it so much...heres a picture of my favorite item that I would'nt want to be without.

If I were ever to be shipwrecked or be involved in a "LOST" scenario then I guess you could say that THIS is what I would bring with me


Oh...the picture at the top.....(yes I could have edited it and moved it to a more respectable spot) is the first actual portable computer I treated myself to when I was writing music for a living. It served me well and connected to a my first portable Cannon printer...it did all I needed it too. Even when I was staying on the Sea Land platform out at sea 7 miles due east from Harwich. I was under music guidance and management from a friend who ran the security on it. I still have some stamps from when I met the owner Sir Roy Bates OBE. I was supposed to write a song for sealands national anthem but never managed to finish it. I will be posting some photocopies of the passport and stamps when I get time. Some people will know the significance of what I am talking about but some will need to research it a bit. Anywy.....bye bye for now
