28 September 2010
It has been a busy and frustrating month.
I have been very busy with rehearsals for World of Wearableart and then with the 12 shows. This is an amazing production and I feel privileged to have been involved. My sister has been the children's co-ordinator since 2005 and two of her daughters are involved as well. I am in awe of the creativity, commitment and professionalism of everyone I met.
We have had our Mum and Dad in town for a couple of weeks too. It is lovely to spend time with them - and to actually have time to spend now that I'm not working.
Craig has been struggling to adjust to life away from work. This hasn't been helped by our hectic life of the last few weeks - nor by the pretty awful spring weather.
He has done some amazing modifications to the Vitara. The back seats have been removed and a storage area built into the back beneath a new floor. The A-frame has been fitted and the kayak racks have taken up their position on top.
The frustrating part has been the apparent slow pace of our build this month. The BBC are moving into a new workshop this month and this seems to be taking a lot of their attention. Email updates have become less frequent and we can't see much happening.
So we took an unplanned trip to see them yesterday. Still gave them a day's warning of course; turning up unannounced would be a bit much.
We felt much better after this trip. They acknowledged and addressed most of our concerns and we can actually see some progress has been made. Sometimes we just need to see things in person - decisions are much more easily made fact-to-face, too.
