Sometimes I'm blue

Pool fun in Rejkjavik (Justine Watson)

The last couple of days have been up and down. A couple of great moments occurred including this morning's meeting with the management of Tower 42. They are very keen to set up my idea of a bird study group to kick off in the spring. I also had a good meeting yesterday with a publisher who seemed pretty keen to add me to their stable.

The crappier moments have come as the result of short-sighted uninspired people in the media who just don't get what I'm trying to achieve. They make me boil over with frustration.

I think I'd better go and dream of diving into a hot pool in Iceland. That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Watch this space.
