I gave my 107th pint of blood today, I am told that it will help upto 3 other people and all within the next few weeks or less. The main reason being that I have O neg blood which is always in high demand.
I just don't know how to feel about how many people, I might have helped, but I do hope that this gift I give to them is welcome.

Dirk Maggs Book Part 4
I re looked at all the drafts that I have so far done, and I don't think I have missed anything out, that I don't know of. The next few weeks in real life are going to be busy so I know that I will not have the time to work on the next draft chapter.
The plan is still for the book to be done and printed by Dec 2008, as the book is going to be a private printing, the only way that you will se a copy is if you know me or you are Dirk Maggs.

Maggs Book Part 3
Update time
The news is that there has not been any more work done on the book. This due to real life getting in the way and me not having the time to get my head around the next chapter that has to be done in draft format first.
Maybe in the next few weeks there will be time.

Maggs Book part 2
An update on what has been going on with this years book project. Last time I said that I had done the draft for all work done in 1988.
Progress has not been good as I have been away doing training with IOSH on a course that I have already done before, but as company policy is that every member of staff will do this course even if you have already done it.
So back to the book, and I can say that the draft chapter for all work done in 1989 has also been done and it runs to 15 pages of A4.
I do not yet know just how big this book is going to be, but it looks like it will be large, even without photos.

Maggs Book
As you may or may not know I have a website, that is on a well known radio director called Dirk Maggs. In fact at this time it is the only website on a radio director and has been for the last 5 years!
The website has over time just got bigger, as Dirk creates new shows or I find out about old shows that he has done.
I have decided as the website is a living thing in that it only exsits as loads of electrons that I would produce a book of the website.
This I have done edition one of the the book was done last year, and had some 300 odd pages, edition two was produced late last year with no pictures in it as there are copyright problems and also cos it did not always print correctly.
So this years project is to do edition 3 of the book.
There are no plans to make the book avaiable to the public as I think I break lots of copyright rules, but there is nothing to stop me producing it for myself and maybe give a copy to Dirk.
So progress so far has been that I have found a templete for the book and have taken a copy of all of the website pages that would and do make sense to have in the printed format.
I have managed to layout the book so that each year is a chapter, then within each chapter each production from that year is then listed.
The first draft of the year 1988 has been done and it runs to 10 A4 pages!

Sunset at the Mount
love the colour and the sky in this image, I do wonder how long you would have to wait to get such a sky.
Glastonbury Sunset
Just love the way in this picture that the light is on the top of the clouds, do not know why, but it is nice

Nelson's garden
When I saw this image I thought it was a painting, now I look at it I think it would make a great jigsaw.
