Today I was all set to spend the day pretty much at home but suddenly work called. There was a fair and because it was rainy a lot more people had turned up than expected. I was asked in to do 7 until 9 but ended up working from 7 until 10:45 which is very welcome extra money. Meanwhile, while I was there I discovered one fellow makes quite a tidy bit extra (I don't know how much) working as a substitute teacher. Apparently, and this differs greatly from Britain, substitute teachers don't need teaching qualifications. That looked promising so I dropped an email to the local education bods to see what they have to say. What with it currently being the school year, this could be a route to another income.

Today it snowed briefly. Snow covered the cars and grass but as the road was warm, didn't stay on the road. Pretty soon after I arrived home the snow ceased. A lot was forecast but seems to have passed us by.

One of my thoughts today had been to go along to the Columbia Camera Club meeting but as work called, that killed that thought dead. Mind, by the time they called I'd pretty much forgotten about attending any club meetings. This is one of the problems of working late - I don't get to go to any clubs or societies. On the other hand, with the money coming in being very slender, I just don't have the money for memberships. It's great though that money is coming in.

Now that I have my real world advert for my photography business, I have had bookings. This compares to none with internet advertising. Word of mouth got me bookings also. TV got me nothing and in the past, newspaper adverts have led nowhere, expensively so this time around I'm not bothering with the press. In a few months I shall have to assess the impact my advertising has had.
