Painting Party!

Hello all!
So did you all survive the first full week of 2015?  Amazingly I did - despite being back at work and staying "dry".  Yep - I'm still off the booze and have set up my Just Giving page to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and have already raised thirty quid - woo hoo!

Despite having almost two weeks off work, my inbox was surprisingly manageable when I returned to the office on Monday, which means I've started the year leaving work at a reasonable time - something I hope to keep up over the next 12 months.  This also means I've had more time in the evenings to get on with a bit of painting.  Yep, the bathroom is done, and the stools I am upcycling have had their second coat - now I just need to track down some foam to top them with!  I've also pulled out my oils and added another layer of "hair" to my latest picture - one that I WILL finish soon, I WILL...

In other news, on Friday I spent a good three hours printing out novel number 2 and spent my Saturday morning lie-in starting yet another round of editing.  Oh, and the latest edition of Operation:Pizza is live too, this time reviewing high street chain Strada.  You may be surprised by the results...

Anyway, I'm off to get myself a hot chocolate and put on my PJs - rock 'n' roll people!
