Emmy!

Into The Storm, the film about Churchill in WWII, won an Emmy for Best Score for Howard Goodall on Sunday, which I contributed a few bits of orchestration to. Many congratulations to Howard who wrote an excellent score and thoroughly deserved to win. 

Otherwise I am prepping for the the new term at Southampton University and also contributing a few cues for a forthcoming Discovery Channel programme. Am still juggling my schedule madly but am enjoying myself hugely.

Other bits of info....I rarely say anything personal on these blogs...I have just got into the singer/songwriter Nick Drake and am listening a lot to his albums. I think he is utterly fantastic. Pink Moon is still my favourite, although I do love Five Leaves too. 

What else... A lot of my friends and family have had babies recently (not a huge surprise following the batch of weddings a few years ago!). I find it totally awe-inspiring... babies are such complex miracles, and I am so impressed at how my friends as parents cope with all the pressures. Jim and Marie seemed to be so serene and tranquil when I saw them the other day. 

I don't know how I'd do without the sleep.
