Pause for Thought.

Pause for Thought.

Hi there Thank you for popping in. Been working alone this afternoon, prepping the 2 hours of Live TV on Hochanda on Friday. 9am and 1pm. So don’t forget all you Shackers! The ShacShac is at 10.30 on Friday. Anyway, it’s been okay, being alone with myself today. Stayed busy with art, and produced some pretty cool stuff, which is always sweet relief when it comes together quickly. Back in the day, when I first started doing Live TV shows,…

Hello Mudder, Hello Fudder..

Hi there Thanks for popping in! Hope you’re safe and well, and let’s say content with your lot today? Happy even? I could get used to having the weekend off, you know!

But it’s not the same as trundling around the the UK in a van…

Unwelcome guests…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Saturday 16th January already! 2021 is on the wing, and Old Man Time is certainly moving fast again! The older I get, the faster he seems to move! Is it just me, or are we speeding again? Despite all my best intentions to calm it Kermit and travel gently through the new year, we’re already halfway through January and the pace of life is absurd, given I’m not even leaving the house!! Which just…

A real Tree-t

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Monday’s blog is Trees and Flowers, right? If you actually watched the Christmas Day TV Show on Hochanda, you will have seen this double- set of fabulous tree and deer stamps which I showcased early that Christmas morning. They are both available individually – the positive and the negative sets – but there is still a super duper saving on the double pack. I checked on the Clarity website, to make sure it’s still…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Quiet day today. Much needed. If we Clarity peeps are to keep going through the pandemic for another year, keep the business going, keep the Shac Shac going, keep design and production going, we have to pace ouselves.

Exercise, breathing exercises, meditation, Vitamin D, Zinc – the list of things which…

What’s your obsession today?

Instantly, Covid and the Pandemics dropped to No. 2 on the Daily Obsession Hitlist, and The Weather zoomed to Number 1 !! As I stood in my pyjamas looking out…
