Strange I know, but I am glad that today has arrived and it is a Monday. I have finally finished this month’s magazine and it was collected by the printer at 7.00am this morning, so I breath a sigh of relief and it now gives me a chance to catch up on emails, letters etc.
I know Mondays are usually dreaded days, full of the doom and gloom of a busy week after a weekend spent with the family, this is one is no different but I just feel glad that I can get on with it all.
Don’t get me wrong I love editing and publishing the magazine, but the days before it goes to print are always stressful ensuring that you remember all the news and events you wanted to include and get it all laid out so that it fits in the areas you have put on the flat plan, sometimes disappointed because a photograph will not fit in. My family will vouch for this, as I seem to eat, sleep and breath the magazine in these days, any spare minute I am working on the magazine to ensure it is all done, proofed, amended to ensure an artwork proof and electronic format is ready for the printer to collect.
So for those who saw me in the school playground or in the village today, you may have seen a glimer of a smile and now you know why!!
