Zeee proverbial cann izz filling - Madness sets in - Thursday 31st July

What was I worried about..? Of course I would get everything done...! hehe - may have left it a little late - but everyone is now done - and very well as well! Pleased little wee one right now!

It's been a lovely day today because of the interviews - unfortunately, I've had to sacrifice my time on the music as, like I was saying the other day - there just isn't enough time to do both - so roving reporter head got plonked on this morning and throughout today and I've been milling between parties and sniffing out great interviews.

And, as per usual, the others didn't mind at all!

Another reason for it being so lovely is also hearing what the others have to say about the project just hammers home how special and incredible this project is.

I am not alone in thinking it's remarkable how we all have just clicked and what a colossal amount of stuff that's already been generated, and although man-hour wise, we've been burning the midnight oil, but on the creative side - it's just flowed organically with no problems to speak of.

Also, some of the reasons for people applying for this project are near-prophetic. It's been beautiful listening to that today; very, very humbling to think how lucky I am to be a part of this.

I've got all the audio I need for the ten of us - the only people I need to do now is more from David and Martine.

Now we're so close to leaving (booo!) my thoughts are turning to when I get back and this epic bit of editing and putting together I now need to do...

By the end of these 2 weeks - I have a feeling that my 8G card is going to be full - I have nearly 50 pieces of (sometimes rather lengthy) audio which will need to be clipped up, well uploaded first (with brand new equipment I've only uploaded something small from before - eeeeeeep!!) sorted out and named, THEN clipped up, write my script, record that (hopefully I can use the studios at Gemini...hopefully!) stick it all together - work out which bits I'm going to float over music, which bits of music I'm going to use, write up all this stupid blog that I haven't been able to do with stupid intermittent rubbish internet in the mountains (I suppose I could've been expecting a little too much there for working internet!) ummmmmmmmm what else - oh yes of course, how could I forget - my 5,000 word contextual review...hmmmmmm

Oh and not forgetting holding down a permanent radio job in Exeter - right, sleep, eating, life, I may see you again one day.
