The week gone by has been pretty good for catching up, as weeks for catching up go. What with the London visit at the weekend, I followed it all with a curry and drinks with Jon on Tuesday (trying out the Z4 – nice), then a pub run with Tom last night, though my scheduled housewarming with Will and Charlotte was postponed.

I also heard from yet another Tom from the old skool, who has passed some work my way. I think I’ve managed to salvage a pretty good social calendar for the past sever days considering how despondent I was becoming two weeks ago. Such is the life of a busy freelancer.

I read an article this week that Mark Boulton mentioned and was motivated to do something with my creativity. As a result, I think my output that day improved and I managed to tackle a couple of design problems that I had been stumbling to resolve for sometime – I even got all ‘modern’ with a brand wheel I’ve been working on as part of a collaboration with Rattle. Different, but very enjoyable.

I’ve been really impressed with new TV comedy Outnumbered on BBC One. Definitely my One to Watch at the moment.

Finally, and on a hopeful note, I wish adventurer Steve Fossett the best of luck wherever he is. Hopefully the search and rescue operation will soon conclude with him being found safe and well.
