Forgive me blog its been two months since my last confession... I mean blog post. In my defense 2012 has been a crazy year so far. I landed myself a short term teaching post in a year 4class and to say its been an eye opening experience is an understatement. In just 6 weeks I 've learnt more than in the past 18 months and I have a fantastic class to boot who'll jump through hoops for me. This, however, will end in just over a week which leads me onto the next reason for a crazy start to 2012...
In Feb the truely unthinkable happened, my wife was made redundant from Orange, something people were telling her couldn't possibly happen. Well it did and as a result we are upping sticks and moving out of Bristol. Just today we found a house in the lovely town of Crewkerne in south Somerset. We move in 10 days!
To ease a little of the pressure, well not really, Ruth starts a new job on March 12th. She also using her spare time to promote her business www.littlesprinkles.co.uk where she provides cakes, biscuits and sweets for ALL occasions. She's already booked in at some wedding fairs (you can thank me later honey for my prmotional efforts)
So as you can imagine writing has truely been put on the back of he back burner and the resolutions I made with such good intentions are seemingly a long way off. I refuse to give up though. The move has reinvigorated me across all areas. I'll be joining the local library and a local film club - my other passion.
On the reading front I am literally half way through The Hunger Games Trilogy and it is EXCELLENT, just can't put them down. I've actually read quite alot more so far this yeara nd have no intention of slowing down. 5 books down 25 to go!
Oh and I almost forgot the new series of A Game of Thrones starts in just over a month. I'm salivating with excitement!! Cold winds are rising!

Stu vs Lost Work 1
I've been going through some of the material I wrote for my Creative Writing degree back in 2002-2005. Here is a poem I wrote using tag lines from the movies of 2002.
Can you guess which films they were?
A Collage Poem – A Poem from the Movies
A secret experiment. A deadly virus. A fatal mistake.
The days are numbered.
Fathers, brothers, husbands and sons.
Be afraid, be kind of afraid.
What do you see?
Same planet. New Scum.
Pray for Michael Sullivan.
He was the perfect weapon until he became the target.
You won’t believe your eye.
On July 26th the secret will be exposed.
Are you in or are you out?
Fight fire with fire.
Dobby has come to warn you Sir.
With great power comes great responsibility.
A jedi shall know not anger. Nor hatred. Nor love.
He had everything until he met the new girl.
Obsession, betrayal, revenge. Some girls do it for fun.
Please leave comments and let me know what you think. As I delve into my past work I'll try to post more her on my blog.
