Overdue Apologies!

Good Evening Sydney and Good Afternoon London!

So, this post is to offer my apologies for the severe lack of activity happening on the blog of late. Let me offer up my excuses! In the last month or so I've happened to become employed - what?! I know, the fact that my time in Sydney isn't a complete holiday was a shock to my system too! So I've begun teaching at two schools as a Speech & Drama teacher and bits and bobs on the side; and while it is wonderful, there is so much preparation to be done, and as aforementioned, my mind and body have been in holiday mode, so it's a bit of a jolt! But once I have settled in I will be plaguing you all more frequently once again.

Huge grovelling apologies in particular for those waiting on the interview with the OVNV's brilliant Alex Ferris. I've transcribed and written, but am in the process of cutting down the article from 5000 words to around 2, 500 - I'm finding this an extremely difficult task because everything Alex has said is important, wise, wonderful, funny and offers real heart and insight; he's not made it easy for me! So please, bear with me; he was so generous with his time, is such a gentleman and does such a fantastic job that I want to try my best to do his article justice.

I have two peace offerings:

The first - a brilliant article from James Rhodes that featured in The Guardian in April - I've been meaning to post it up for a while! Do yourself a favour and have a read!http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2013/apr/26/james-rhodes-blog-find-what-you-love

And secondly a hilarious clip on 'How to be a good actor' from Extras with Sir Ian Mckellen and Ricky Gervais. http://www.wimp.com/goodactor/

That's it from me for now! Sydneysiders, enjoy your Sunday evening, and Londoners - I hope it's a lovely sunny day in London! (As it was in Sydney! I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Thank you all!
