Every time we do a project we get that little bit closer to getting the final result. Even I see the improvement in my work project on project. The only rub for me is I dream each and everyone continually as I work on them and as time moves forward. Songs, text, dialog… All spinning around my head continually.

Which I have to say I’m very pleased with and it’s getting a nice number of hits, which is great for me and Shattered Dreams. I also got to do an Edit for an F1 driver, but because of copy-write issues. I can’t publish that for you chap’s to see. I wish I could.
By no means am I a runner yet, although I’ve just done two runs in two days. This is for two reasons; the first is that my recovery has improved so that I can, the second? I need to be able to fit into my Tuxedo in Cannes. Now don’t get me wrong, it fits and I can walk in it. Though it would be fair to say it’s a little tight. So beer intake as well as food has been reduced in attempt at comfort. The interesting thing today was that although I didn’t [couldn’t] run as fast, at no point was I out of breath or going through my standard thought process ‘why am I doing this, I need to stop, why, why, why?’.
So Longer Runs Then?
Looks like it! I’ve been trying to work out how I want to do this. Si suggests doing the same rout once a week against the clock to test improvement. Which is fine, but what is now an eighteen minute runs will get closer to a twelve at some point and I think I need to do more then that really. Si suggested lapping the same rout, that would give us roughly ten kilometers for three laps. Problem with that is I would have to pass my house at least twice; a house with coffee and comfy sofa’s… So I think my intention is to work my way down Ifly Road and back up Cowley Road. This taint to hard as there are a lot of roads that join the two, which in theory means just running down to the next one and across. Eventually it’ll be a run all the way down to the Plain and back up to the house. To be honest, that is probably enough for me, I may try a “10k” at some point, but do I ever really see myself doing a marathon? I do think though, that I passed a real mental barrier today. That is a very good thing.
Cannes 2 Days, Who’s Counting?
We finished the investors pack and have the contents pages printed, the covers should arrive today. Unsurprisingly there are a few minor errors that we missed, but the pack does look ahead of the competition, which is a good head start. I’ve had some very good feed back and am at my most confident that this project is about to leap into life which is really down to the hard work and innovation of a few people who have developed a trust and faith in me that I hope I deserve. Time will tell and could tell within a few short weeks. Barrie has dug up a picture of the Yacht “FAIRBIRD” that we have been invited to “pitch on” .
Nerves setting in?
Net quite yet, probably because there is still so much to organise. Having said that I woke up today with Paloma Faiths ‘Do you want the truth or something beautiful’ In my head, which I hope is a good omen as I want her in the film and that track on the sound track. It is hard to believe that it was only eight days ago that we were invited and decided to go to Cannes. And one of the best things? Without realising it, Barrie has taken on the role of a producer and worked his arse of organising everything without very much intervention from me. Which for the long term is something that I am very, very pleased and proud about.
