The Film Wall



A very talented mate has just launched his new company on www.thefilmwall.co.uk. It's a nifty concept - you're a budding film maker - where do you go to get your films 'out there'? - the film wall, that's where. Go check it out as he explains it all very succinctly on his site.

car booty


With the move coming up (and lots of stuff we probably don't need anymore we decided to have a go at doing a car boot sale yesterday. So at just gone 6am we followed the 'booters this way' sign into the field at Glyne Gap and set up our wares.

With a big selection of teaching and natural history books we were pretty different to all the other bric-a-brac stalls, so we shifted a load of stuff. I was perhaps most proud that someone bought all of my home-grown coleus plants at full asking price. Perhaps the seeds of a mini nursery business have been sown. Far too much work in each plant to make it a career, but it felt good :)

new development


Here's a glimpse of the new college being built. Hopefully we'll be in there in a couple of years. We've outgrown our current space, even in the library. It will be good to be in a custom built environment that's up to date with the environmental and access issues we face, rather than trying to crowbar fixes into an old building.

I just hope that they're not going to use the same building firm as Wembley.

me

This is me at the Eden project a few years ago. A bit old but it will have to do for now, as it's either this or the scarey mugshot on my work ID badge.

away day


Last week we had an away day to Brighton for a conference 'Librarians in the Digital Age' and a visit to the Jubilee. Here we are outside it (Mary, Dan and Sam anyway- I was taking the pics). The Library has some great architectural features, including wind towers that regulate the internal heat and ventilation. The innovative design of the building means that this massive library uses only as much energy to run as a domestic four bedroom house.
