Let your imagination run free...

I've spent the last few months recording music on my PC. I love doing it. I'm no tech really, the software is complicated and more than I need, but I've persevered and it's paying off. Songs that I wrote years ago are now orchestrated (for want of a better word) - and I can seriously start thinking about where to go from here. The joy for me is though is immersing myself in creating something out of nothing. I shut myself in the study with PC, keyboard, guitars, trumpets mics, mixers etc etc and leave the outside world behind me.. (with my sincerest apologies to Amy)...

...whom (by the way) would tell you she's not very creative. I'd have to dispute that - I eat as a king thanks to her creativity! Sure, it came from Nigella's book - but Nigella didn't cook it!

The kids - particularly Joss - have imaginations and a creative flair beyond recognition. Just ask Superhero girl and elephant boy. Even today, Joss was doing artwork on the PC and saved it to her "northpolio". Both spend a long portion of each day in some other world that we will never know anything about... So I thought I'd introduce you to some of the characters (the visible ones) by way of photos..


I'd name them, but... well... that would be sad. Sufficed to say that each one is named, loved, and wearing a dress (Ken wouldn't last a minute in this company - hey - didn't Barbie dump him or something?)



A nightmare to photograph - wouldn't smile, someone always looking away, innappropriate and untimely sniffing etc..
