10/31/2005 - (Got the) Autumn Blues
Well here we are again at that time of year... and this time round it seems to be more depressing than usual.
Work seems to have taken over my life leaving very little time for
anything else. I now have been shunted onto a permanent night shift....
so now it's dark when I get up and dark when I get to bed and at the
moment the good old British weather is it's usual jolly self.
As I
write this outside the rain is lashing down, trying to drive itsself
into the ground.... mind you it's quite fun watching the general public
scamper about in such conditions , my god man what are you doing
wearing open toe sandals in this weather?
And now my trusty PC has
decided that it is the only one in the world to be steam driven, well
thats what it feels like. I swear there are 2 little gremlins inside
stoking the boiler....shovel faster ya little bastards I need
more steam, no smoke breaks for you.
Mind you I have finally
managed to get a couple of new pieces onto my site and I do have a
couple more that are nearly finished. I managed to drag my muse home
for a while and with luck she'll stay put for a while.
So here I
sit with a 5 gallon mug of black coffee and a pack of smokes spare a
though for me as I head out into the wild night later to try and
earn a crust.
Have a happy Halloween..... health, wealth and happiness to you all.
Denise

10/6/2005 - Look Ma I Gotta Blog
Well
foolishly? those very nice people at Stormbringer have given me
some space to air my thoughts....the fools do they realise what they've
done..... bugger did I say that out loud.
"Ehem, well pull up a bollard and let me regale you with my nautical tales" or some such nonesense.
My first post has to be an apology for my lack of new work. My
reasons/excuses are quite simple really. The first is that condition
that all artists dread/hate... my creative juices dried up.....ooer
nurse the screens!! It's a pretty frustrating thing when you sit down
to create something and nothing happens, no great ideas no inspiration,
just a blank screen starring back at you. And the more ya try to force
something out the worse it becomes, so remember kids never try to force
something out...drink Piledrivers to help (vodka & prune juice  )
The second reason is a bit more serious, me dad got taken into hospital
and gave us all a bit of a scare. I won't go into all the details or
his long medical history but suffice to say the last thing on my mind
recently has been to sit down and create pictures.It's not pleasant to
see ya da who's always been strong start to look old and dare I say
frail.
But things seem to be getting back on an even keel....like
the way I'am keeping the nautical thread running here?....and with luck
all should be well in my little corner of the universe. Me da's
recovering slowly.. now all I gotta do is find out where my muse has
got to. If I know her she's down the pub half cut and flashing her
knickers, the little tart.
Anyways enough rambling for one day, do check back later though I'am sure I'll be off on another soon.
Take care...Denise (and yes that is me in the pic)
