Well I promised to jot down a few highlights of the last six months, as I have been pretty lax in updating this thing.
Not that I seem to remember that much happening...
On the Theatre side of things, completed - along with help from the UK based team - the design, layout and production of the programme for CMTC Spring show Sweet Charity - by all accounts a great show, and I was very pleased with the final copy of the programme. Which I collected a few of after driving up to Brittany - so a sort of courier role played by Mr and Mrs C, and a jolly weekend was had along the way! Best G&T this side of the channel, alhough the supplies of T must be restricted judging by their strength - not that I am complaining!
Work has been manic, with plenty to keep me busy this year, and hopefully all sorted now so a quieter six months for the remainder of the year with any luck.
Have had a few weekends away, one up near Rodez, for the Rallye du Marcillac, which was a great weekend with the Rally team from Beauzelle Renault. Great company, fab food, and plenty of laughs - albeit in French and I was invariably laughing some way behind everyone else, but at least I am getting there in the same evening now!!
Later in the year was a weekend in Nay - maybe where the knights come from... any Monty Python fans...? - this is between Lourdes and Pau, and at the foot of the Pyrenees, for the Rallye Du Bearne - another fab weekend, and also the first chance to see the car with a logo I designed displayed prominently on the side, front and back of the motor.
I still think William was ill advised to take up a new "Navigator" position during the day, and luckily saw sense and left the boot to use the seat up front.
Now I am just waiting for the global take off of the drink and my 25% - although it seems to be less each time I mention it...
A couple of shots here from Parc Ferme and also out on the course.
You don't quite get the sense of speed on these shots, I have some others - on the laptop - that I will add later as they do really give the impression of the speed they are doing.
One thing I have not touched on was the closing of our London Office - this was a complete shock to everyone and totally out of the blue, in fact you could almost say it went against what the bosses had reassured everyone in November on the longevity of their jobs.
Fortunately so far this has not had any direct impact on me - other than not really having a position to return to in the UK... there is now just a small office of 5/6 people and that may be further reduced in the coming weeks.
So keeping my fingers crossed that things don't change to much over here for me... watch this space I guess...
