Actually having some leisure time to browse other blogs and magazines feels like an amazing gift at the moment- October was probably the most stressful month I’ve experienced in the last 3-4 years workwise, no contest. Trying to prepare for Christmas is ridiculously intense- behind all those lovely yuletide sets and pretty decorations, I can assure you that there is an office full of people teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
An excellent week. Even though we were working at staffing levels reduced by 50% of the norm, the team was so amazing, we managed to get everything done, with style. There was a veritable ‘spirit of The Blitz’ vibe going on; adversity is the salt that adds the savour to success, and it was a very good week indeed.
I’ve been re-watching Person Of Interest, which if you haven’t seen it, why the blazes not? This previous fortnight has been absolutely bonkers- I’ve only survived it by direct divine intervention. I was telling my nephew that I feel just like Root in POI, only without the MP5, the RPG, or the interesting psychiatric conditions.
It’s design season again and I’d be letting you down if I didn’t showcase some of the standout exhibitors on the blog. I found lots to like this year, particularly at 100% Design so it means you won’t have to scroll through my usual diatribe about talent-free design hacks.
Don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted. I’m not sure if it’s the reduction in sunlight or a holiday hangover but I am wasted. I had a week off and foolishly got no rest. I went to Frome over the bank holiday, really liked it. It’s mostly built of Bath stone so it’s really lovely. A lot of stuff was closed though – I never expect that; think everywhere’s like London.
