Cyprus Writing Session...

Just got back from Cyprus and experienced rather freak weather conditions... well for me, anyway, 'cause the weather was great! I expected stair rods (well, that was what I got on the last writing trip/holiday to Kefalonia in September!), but, despite being fooled into thinking my usual luck was in (it was raining when I arrived and water was dripping in through the ceiling of my hotel room... Oh yes!), it stopped after an hour and then hardly a cloud all week. In fact Cyprus was rumoured to have had the warmest weather in January since 1976! I've come back doing my best impersonation of a Chippendale mahogany sideboard. Dark brown all over... with bowed legs!?

Talking of bow legs, I ended up staying in a hotel that was like Club 80 -130! There were only 3 of us under 50 there! One old boy had a 'blowout' on his walking stick at the breakfast buffet and ending up falling into the tray of scrambled egg! Well, he ended up submerging his elbow into it anyway. What made it even funnier (see, unfortunately I've got a cruel streak!) was he was wearing a mustard coloured cardigan and was oblivious to the fact that he was covered in the stuff! I think he wore the scrambled egg all day... not advisable in a freak heat wave. (Unless it was a clever tactic to get a table to himself in the evening, of course!)

I actually wrote LOADS of lyrics whilst away and am now busily starting to edit them and type everything up. I've pretty much finished tracks for the musical... I also paved the way for loads more dance stuff, working on around 20-30 lyrics for various projects. I did hire a jeep and spent three days touring the island... catching up on the writing in the evenings.

When I've downloaded the photos I might post a couple here.

A New Year - A New Website...

With typical 'New Year Resolve', I've bundled together all my sketched-out ideas and pages for a new site (it's just one of many, so think of it as the entrance hall to a cyber-space mansion of the future... well, you've got to think big, haven't you? An entrance hall to a clapped-out caravan doesn't have the same ring, does it?). Anyway, the hosting was bought at around Noon on New Year's Day from good old 'a small orange' in Atlanta, Georgia and the site went live at about 9.00 PM UK time on the 2nd January.

So why have I waited until now to announce it to the world? Well, that's a long story... Are you sitting comfortably? (Visions of Ronnie Corbett and a somewhat rambling tale... "Anyway, as I was saying"... Actually, I won't bore you with the details. Suffice to say..." Stop it, Chris!)

Anyway, I decided to buy another 7 domains before launching this site (see, it's an eight roomed caravan already!) and that's when the problems started. Honestly, it was easier buying my house... though, mercifully, the domains were somewhat cheaper! Anyway, it's all sorted, so wipe your feet on the welcome mat and take a look round my new cyberspace caravan...

All the best,

Chris
