odd 5 February 2010
I am returned to Manchester and it’s all a bit odd. Basically, my brother, Ian, and sister in law, Curly, got cheap flights from Ireland and are visiting. This would make perfect sense normally, in as much as I spend a lot of the year here, BUT as we have finished filming the series I don’t actually have that much reason to be in situ. So, it’s a bit like I live as a native in Manchester now as well as work here some of the time. However, as luck would have it I did have a bit of dubbing to do today so I got to go to the regular studio for that and it has made being here more ‘normal’ somehow. Odd, though.
I have instructed the visitors that I am not let out until I have written my daily quota for the novel, then I am allowed a treat. In other words I am putting adults in charge…well, more or less adults….
I believe a meteorite broke up in the sky over Ireland a few nights ago and landed near Monaghan and was a spectacular sight. It’s not some thing everyone will see in their lifetime. Just as I confessed to a gobsmacked recording studio today that I have never been in an IKEA – fact. To be honest I don’t think I need anything from there as I have plenty of shizz in my life already and don’t need more ‘things’.
