I wake up early and take my daughter swimming at the local pool. I spend most of my time under water, it is other worldly. She spends most of her time attached to my back like a horse rider. I'm not sure she appreciates my own very real need to breathe.

I arrange to meet Alan tomorrow at 12:30 to discuss the project. I also learn how to publish my blog to Facebook and the NTW community simultaneously. This results in almost instant feedback from someone who grew up five minutes from Blackwood. I arrange to meet them tomorrow for interview. This makes me decide to put out a call through Facebook for people to contact me with stories and memories of the place. So far I have had three further contacts. One from someone who was there last week and one from someone saying, "We performed a conceptual, semi naked, production of Lady Chatterley's Lover there years ago....an audience member, half way through, shouted: 'I've seen bigger '%*@'%' on a cat'.....though guess you don't want
that in your thesis...."

Looks like it just made it into my thesis.

I also need to chase up my computers. They are both in transit and without them I am quickly building up a backlog of unedited audio. Fingers crossed something arrives tomorrow.
