The special office

the special office

Important footnotes
This diagram is not for one moment supposed to be me complaining about how difficult my life is. I am fully aware that my life is not difficult and that I am very lucky to have my own office, a radio etc.

It is, perhaps, a commentary on the plight of the creative freelancer, balancing ‘the need for stimulation against the need for isolation’ (tweet by Hugh @gapingvoid).

I find I get a lot more done during the two days a week I now spend at the Church Times offices surrounded by newsroom sounds and goings-on, but were I to be there all the time I doubt I’d ever draw any cartoons.

I was thinking of doing a little video showing the exciting features of my HQ – I nearly did it today, but it feels a bit strange talking to oneself. Well, actually it feels quite normal, but I don’t usually do it on video. Let me know if there’s any aspects you have a particular interest in, such as the ‘antique’ wooden dresser in the kitchen or views of the corridors.

    PS You can take the word ‘sad’ to mean whichever of the meanings you think is most appropriate.

    Have a good weekend. Anyone else going to the Cycle show at Earls Court?

    That’s such a tease talking about the “views of the corridors”. We all long to see those, as you well know. I do hope you’re going to post them.

    Video’s are nearly always a good idea although I understand that ‘talking to yourself’ could be a little uncomfortable.
