It's May. May we all do our best next week? May we have some positive feedback? May I stop dreaming of contours, plans, sections, sketches please?....

Ticking off the items on my 'to do' list is a bit addictive. Now I'm underway I might even say I'm enjoying it. But I don't think I'll manage absolutely everything. Here's the list of completed sheets in a nice welcoming golden glow colour, followed by the 'awaiting attention' in rather an alarming red:

Concept Sections for 1:500 stage (2 sheets)
Development Site Plan at 1:200
Development sections  for 1:200 stage (2 sheets)
Planting Plan at 1:200
Lighting Concept Plan at 1:200
Site Plan at 1:50
Supporting sketches for 1:50 stage (well, the sheet is done but needs improving if there's time)
Supporting sequential sketches for 1:500 stage

Concept Masterplan at 1:2000
Selected Site Plan at 1:500 (I might have to resort to the original unless someone slips an extra couple of days into the week - I need one of those time-turning devices)
Hardworks Key Plan at 1:200
Planting Plan - structural, for 1:200 stage
Hardworks Plan for 1:50 stage
Setting Out Plan for 1:50 stage
Supporting Sections for 1:50 stage (3 sheets)


I'm really pleased with three of my golden glowing sheets: the 1:50 plan; the planting plan and one sheet of sequentials. That leaves 7 sheets that I know could be improved. It's a bit annoying that I now feel I have adequate skills to present things in a more effective way... but not the time to re-do the sheets.

Here's the 1:50 finished plan, the lighting concept sheet and the finished planting plan:























May Day will see me doing some sections. Then I will move on to the hardworks etc. etc. etc..
Then I will stock up with drawing pins ready for the hanging. Hopefully I won't need the rope. If I do, I'll make sure it's an appropriate plaited one.

Here's the Oscar speech: thank you Russell for the gentle guidance and for carrying me around in your pocket. Thank you Dom for the thing I should probably not mention. Thank you Newcome for Tommy Walsh and your unique humour - oh and your business card which is filed in a safe place. Thank you hugely to Karin and Heidi for being in this together. Thank you to the whole group for the bonding that has gradually formed. And thank you Pierre for those Union Jack pants...

And sorry to my family for ignoring them for four years.
