Moving House. Is this the most stressful thing in life after getting married and discovering that you're out of Kit-Kats? Smallstones is all fixed up thanks to slave-driver Anon Mum. What a star. 3 places to choose from at the moment, back down the hill in Bright Lights Big City Charlbury. I'll be better off and no more gardening duties, but it's all about Dubson really - he's not happy here - and he comes first. I took my eye off the ball when he was 13, and we stopped biking together. It could have been OK otherwise...

I lost a day the other week. Most strange, when you're a day behind all week then you realise it's Friday. It was like having a day stolen from your life. I want it back • Notes - Courgette. Cucumber. Apples. Wasps. Peppers • "It was the spaciousness. It's not what you're playing, it's what you're not playing" • "I had to go out today. I needed a new pair of scissors" • So I went to the Co-Op and they said "Do you want a bag for life"? Guess the rest •

Setbacks. A job which should have kept me going through all of September suddenly shrunk from 300 hrs to 100 hrs. So I contacted a mate at a big UK Publisher, and they are restructuring, laying off 100 people. Cartography will be down to 2 people. So tried again with another contact who was optimistic about prospects in the Autumn, but nothing going. I'm gonna call a local hostelry tomorrow who are looking for barstaff and apply. May as well. Better earning money than sitting here blogging...

Some minor good points - my web presence (www.dvdmaps.co.uk) is pretty good. This afternoon, searching for "Freelance Cartographer", I was no. 2, on the first page. Mysteriously dropped down now. 2nd page global, 3rd entry UK. Some work to be done. Still hasn't brought in any work though.
Had a teensy job awarded from a Travel Guide company. Could be worth £100-300 month? I'll cost it when I know more and take it from there. Every little helps.

HOMAGE À DUBSON

(get the phrase, stick it through a translator, and post.

Dunno why, seems to work)

Je voulais vous apporter quelques modifications! • Les Beatles étaient des ordures. • J'ai vu beaucoup de films étrangers, je l'ai. •
