Better late than never …

There has been a hiatus on the blog posting front lately. For which I could name number of likely causes. Perhaps, my mental health, however with the best will in the world there are only so many blogs I can post that feature my ups and downs and wavering in between and since ‘medication’ the fluctuations have been less interesting!

Then I could suggest that my Jury Service was the culprit (the pun was very much intended) Very soon after I got the demand to attend, I went into overdrive much as I did when I was expecting the a visit from the in-laws. I cleaned the house and completed all outstanding tasks, so that I could devote my time and mind fully to the judgement of the defendant.

Which was going to be difficult for me, as I my criminals need to look the part, with a swag bag and a handy crowbar. Before me stood a fresh-faced young man, who had not harmed anyone physically but had done much damage with the misuse of a computer. What become apparent was a web of technical jargon that was pretty much like listening to a foreign language, fortunately we were provided with a glossary and an iPad so we could keep with the proceedings, but the case was complex.

Nonetheless all this doesn’t explain my lack of interaction on the ‘socials’ and otherwise.

During lulls in my public duty and other events I have been thinking of ways to engage more fully and promote my work, particularly my films. Professional production and corporate intervention seems possible but the former needs money and the latter, along with talent much luck.

While I enjoy me outsiderness and non-reliance on aforementioned professionals I still have to reconsider ways to promote my work that doesn’t cost the earth.

I have made enquires and even bought iPad that I might use at local events to show my films. While the screen wasn’t huge it was bigger than my phone. Sadly, it didn’t have the technical capacity to do what I needed, so, it had to be returned to the supplier.

So now I am back to square one taking the dolls, books, and relative merchandise to events, while the films just hang out on YouTube and blabbing on socials which raises a titter I suppose.

Joking aside, with mental and physical health stable I am perfectly able to create and promote (somewhat) and spring is on its way … with a fair wind lets see what happens.
