Midway through my day at the freelance post, twiddling my thumbs and eating chicken, I decided to do the honest thing. Realising that I haven't done much at all over the last month apart from wait for the other guy to come in (there's been no contact for 5 weeks now) and apologise to customers for their websites not being built (because of the 'no contact for 5 weeks' thing), I decided to leave it there so sent the boss an email explaining tomorrow would be my last day freelancing for him, unless of course he had any objections. The email back was more than a little stroppy, and almost emotional. So yep, I'm staying for a bit longer then...it's like I'm just here for moral support or something. I'll sit here and do bugger all, all day, for a bit longer, but it does feel like the working relationship has suddenly soured, somewhat.
Anyway, gave me a chance to write some cracking dialogue for the Christmas musical. Some of it, structurally, is really clever, you know, if I may say so myself.
Drove to the wrong studio, which is bound to happen when two studios in Cambridge both begin with 'H', but eventually made my way to the Hub, where we had to film some scenes for a Dowsing documentary. Local telly stuff, but good fun just jamming with the returning Gav, Andrea and Myke for the sake of it. Myke then had a gig in town so we all went down there to watch him play sax for Kim and Lee (both good friends of mine) and a lovely evening was had. I like Cambridge when it's like this.
Got back, Edd seems really excited about this new project he has thought of (electro swing with a big band) and, as I'm his lodger and as the rent is so cheap, I could hardly turn down the offer of being the drummer for it, could I? Sounds fun, anyway, if a little bizarre at this stage.
Then did some more work on the musical. I'm really, really enjoying writing this one.
