Sunday Salon




i had a little Diary Launch of my own in Norwich with the Arcadian guys etc as a celebration. Note the Basildon slideshow on the computer in the background!

Dec 8 NPN Christmas Fayre




Forgot to take any pics. Had a very forgetful sort of day. Left the house without my props - megaphone + stool. Forgot to take my driving licence to hire car. Missed my turning off the M25. Went around in circles aropund Basidlon. I justcan't findthe turn off anymore that brings you to The Watermill Hotel! Bought business cards with me + left them in the car. Oh well. So I got the music turned down + had the Town Cryer announce the Diary Giveaway. I think I lasted about ten minutes on my stool. Some people did rush in + scioop up armfuls of teh Diaries...but mostly I ten took them around the fayre by hand, and inevitably kept bumpinginto the same people. Mostly people were friendly + took the Diaries. Of course no-one really knows what it's all about so I will need to keep up the publicity campaign. I have p[laced them on counters in The Northlands Centre, the two Primary Schools, the doctors, the dentists, the hairdressers + a couple of other shops. Couldn't believ the clouds of cigarette smoke that hit me when I entered the shops + hair salon!

Funny Photo Shoot


The commissions east photographer can't make itto the NPN Christmas Fayre tomorropw so instead I have just done a photo shoot with Martin, in Norwich. Lots of pics of me standing on the Town Hall steps shouting at people! I really wasn't looking forward to it but in fact it was fun. It's a strange thing what putting one layer of unreality in between you and the world, ie a megaphone. It was a laugh.

The Diary Is Here



The Diary has arrived and looks fabulous. Pics later!
