Working hard at Abingdon

There’s not a lot to tell today, as it’s been much like yesterday. We shopped and then settled to a day’s work on the Newsletter.

I’m gradually getting to grips with Apple's iWork ‘09 Pages program in its page layout mode. It’s generally very intuitive for such a powerful program, but I’ve had to consult the excellent Missing Manual a couple of times, mostly reminding myself of tricks I’d learnt working with it over the winter, when I was first setting up the layouts, but had forgotten since.

We’ve got maybe another day’s work to do with the material we’ve got to hand at the moment, which will hopefully leave us set up to plug in all the rest once we’ve arrived at Beale Park. There will be interviews, and news of events during the weekend, and things contributed by other folks which obviously can only be done the day before publication.

Once that’s done, we’ll take a bit of time to start work on the Boaters’ Quiz for the Saturday night of the Braidbar Owners’ Weekend in mid September.

It’s a case of going from one event to another, though hopefully not from bad to worse!
