Since I last wrote, I've suffered a series of unfortunate events that have prevented me from getting much work done.

My father passed away suddenly in the early hours of 20th December 2009 and this came as a shock.

My thoughts have obviously been on that, and have been annoyingly distracted by another problem that arose, which I don't want to bring up here now, because fortunately it's now resolved, it's simply a problem that should never have occurred in the first place.

I'm now getting close to the Alice exhibition and haven't got any animation work done. So to say I'm frustrated by that would be putting it mildly. I haven't been able to make a start on it due to the animation dept having gone away on two trips, one after the other. All I need is to know what software will be best to make my animation in and a brief introduction possibly. 

I can do the rest once I know what I'm doing, but at this rate it'll never get done!

I have all the images finalised and some are here: http://helend-blackbird.blogspot.com/

(have I mentioned before how tedious the image uploader is on here?)

I've booked my son into Kids Club this week so that I can use the time, but I can't afford for that to be wasted now.
