Something/Anything?

When you haven't posted for a while it is quite tough to get going again. But it is easier when we get the second of the night (against Accrington Stanley, I thought they were a bit like the Dodo and extinct, well they are now). Ooops I wrote to soon, they have just equalised, another defensive error.

I really do not to write about anything else other than the mighty Wolves. Mark Davies sidelined for the last two years with injuries has just come on and scored a belter 3-2. What inspiration!

It is the summer holidays for the children so I am being a full time dad at the moment. So plenty of activity in getting the loft finished, decorating and gardening. I say summer holidays but at the moment it is more like winter, cold, rain and blowing a gale. I do not think I will actually get much of the above done because if I do the children are quick to take advantage and will fill their wellies with water and then throw them at each other and fill one of my clear plastic storage boxes which I had put in the garden and then relieve themselves in it to see what colour it would change to.

My son in the meantime has declared that he is a genius. Yesterday we went a very long bike ride and I foolishly/heroically went on foot and ran after them. We went on a small road for the first time without a footpath and the children did very well at keeping to the left. They did not panic when cars came and listening really well to what I shouted from 20 feet behind. Eli told me that he was an expert at bike riding and can easily keep on the right side of the road.
After the bath and they needed that today after making "coffee puppy food", you can probably imagine what was in it, he declared that he could get out of the bath by himself because he was an expert at getting out of the bath. We are all looking forward to his 4th birthday.

(Wolves have just won).

On the work front I had a days shoot last week working with the BBC on inspire day. I came back from my hols and travelled from Swansea and returned on the same day for that commission.

This was a day of workshops with Young Composers, musicians and well known British composers. It was really like one big jam with 135 students playing along with the professionals. But they did pick up tips on how to write for musicians. "Don't make it too hard!" said the trombone player and "plenty of rests" said the trumpeter.

Part of the day focused on rhythm and Peter Wiegold (above) led the session on how to interpret and bend and shape the beat. He broke down and used Miles Davies "Bitches Brew" to inspire the students through some really interesting sessions.
