Back to the blog.

I seem to have given up with the video blog, part of the reason is that i stopped being able to look at my face constantly whilst editing the video. I think from now on I will post what is happening to the business and possibly to me here, and occassionally add pieces of video as I go. So Things that have happened recently at my shop are:

Red Dwarf came to film at the shop, it made for a very different Friday. They changed the interior of the shop making it a Red Dwarf specialist retailer full of props and toys from the series. All the actors were charming and friendly, and I thought the crew were incredibly patient and polite. The Richmond and Twickenham times published a small article about it, which was another added piece of publicity.

Last weekend Guy and I set up a stand at the Richmond Japanese Art Festival, which was lovely. I spent the weekend watching traditional Japanese dances, drumming, marshal arts and the new phenominum of Cosplay. It was very enjoyable and quite profitable.

I can't believe I have got to blog 4.

Well I am very surprised that I have managed to keep up with this blog thing for 4 whole weeks, though this weeks is quite a bit shorter and I'm not sure it says anything, still I feel quite pleased that I have got this far. So here is the new blog.

The fight goes on.

Well another week under the belt. The saga of the sign continues this week. I decided to go to the papers. check it out www.uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2SCu4_Pr5UA 

Ok so here is my second video blog, this was filmed through out the 2nd week back at the shop after Christmas. I was considering not uploading this blog, as life running a small shop can be a bit repetitive and I didn't feel that I had much to say about anything this week. 

If you are wondering about what has happened about the sign above the shop, I did film a very non effective and pretty boring conversation with Richmond council which got nowhere. I didn't put it in the blog because it just didn't work as a one-sided conversation. So there is nothing much to report on the progress with the council. 

Anyway here is the link to the new update:

My first Video Post

So I have managed to put my first day of my diary onto youtube.  Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDB_7UixvvE   Lets see if I can keep it up.

So my New Years resolution is to keep a video diary about running a small business in a difficult year. I will be posting my diary onto youtube and then adding the links here, so if you would like to follow it, watch this space.
