# I have a whole bedroom upstairs for just this porpoise
I have a blue screen backdrop cloth on a roller blind up there plus I bought a greenscreen (plastic cloth thing) but I have to clear out the old wardrobe and other junk before I turn it into a proper studio - I already have a desk stretching all the far end of the room the other half will be my studio.

# for some truly bizarre and unknown reason
this desk is giving me a strong feeling of 'BBC Micro' circa 1988.

I really have no idea why.

I do sometimes get a little bit psychic-y. On rare occasions it pays off, but mostly it's only afterwards it comes to light.

Like the two years I predicted the winner of the Grand National and didn't put on a bet.

# A very fine desk. You are quite obviously a girlie.
Just a few questions, ma'am.

1. What did you get in that airmail packet?
2. What make and colour is the nail polish?
3. What possessed you to buy a 360?

1. The Airmail packet contains the Green Screen plastic backdrop I bought off Ebay - I wanted a cloth one but this was only £20.

2. Collection 2000 (cheap crap) the colour is Hot Purple.

3. I like Xbox had the original brick this is an Elite 360 version - I like shooting stuff not very girlie but it's fun.
