This entry I suppose is the next in the series of introductory essays. It’s nearly a week since I posted last, which is a while for me to be silent.
I’ve had a busy week—I didn’t even do the radio show on Tuesday. I work part time for the Burngreave Messenger, which is an independent community newspaper/magazine, which covers the Burngreave Ward [1] of Sheffield [UK]. We deliver a twenty page publication free to every household and business in Burngreave ten times per year.
I work as design/dtp/general computer worker, and so for one week per month I work my ass off getting the thing ready to got to the printers. This week was that week. After Abbeyfield Multicultural Festival last week, which is a lot of work and a week’s worth of frantic activity, we put the thing to bed earlier and I’m knackered.
The whole thing is worth it though—it’s work I’m really proud to do. Have a look at the website for a flavour. I’ll let you know when it’s updated.
[1] Ward—basic administrative unit of UK local government. Burngreave is one of the 29 wards of Sheffield City Council. [back]
