I've hit the ground running this year, which makes a pleasant change to be honest!

Just a couple of weeks in and I've already completed projects relating to men's shoes, racetracks and employment issues, and now I'm about to embark on a book translation job, which is a great way to kick off 2017.

In other news, I've finally got around to applying for Italian citizenship too. It took a while - by which I mean several months - to get all the documents together (costing me a pretty penny too I might add!) but I've now submitted my application and will be getting an answer sometimes in the next couple of...... YEARS! Yes, you heard correctly! I can't believe they're really that backed up but Italian systems will never cease to amaze me :-) I might have been here for most of my adult life but in many ways, and I don't apologise for this, i remain resolutely British...

I've also downloaded the materials for lesson one of my copywriting course, now I just have to find the time to actually read them and complete the first assignment...
