It&#8217;s just the bleedin velux windows that turn in to radiators (even with the blackout\/solar blind).  So I&#8217;m sitting rather unattractively in my shorts and no shirt.  I&#8217;ve even been to Micheals booze market at the Yew Tree to get lager (though this is for the CIB un-launch party later).  So please people do a rain dance for the chubby gingers who burn in this weather.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, today is the sort of closing day for the CIB shop in the bullring.  It&#8217;s done really well, creating a outlet for the Creative People in the Birmingham area.  The shop was generously let for nothing by the Bullring, now someone wants to move in.  A bit sad, but good that someone wants to open a retail outlet in Brum.<\/p>\n<p>Is it the end?<\/p>\n<p>Probably not, the hard working creators of CIB are taking a well earned rest, and hopefully something should happen maybe later on in the year.  As for me, well I&#8217;ve treated it as a project.  Currently on April&#8217;s figures I&#8217;m losing money (-2 quid), but I&#8217;ve invested a bit to get it going.  All I have to do is sell one my image and I&#8217;m back in profit.  Hopefully May will be a good month.   Still it&#8217;s been enjoyable and it&#8217;s nice to know several people out there like my images enough to buy one (and one of them was from the Twang! or a good lookalike).<\/p>\n<p>I may decide to sell at a few art fairs but may have a nose around at a few first.  Right, this bloody loft is too hot and I&#8217;m not going to be typing in my pants, so I&#8217;m off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those that know me, you know I don&#8217;t do heat (apart from when I go on holiday).
