Rach did the Hoovering… No honestly she did!

There was a scary noise coming from the Splinter house today. It was the noise of Rachael vacuuming in the back of the studio. Not only was she tidying for the first time in her life, but she also assembled the unfamiliar piece of machinery together. After aggressively fighting her ground to ensure that we did not purchase a Henry Hoover, she ordered the penultimate Vax Mach 5. Now we have remembered the original colour of the carpet is in fact, a charming shade of blue.

Go! Rachael

Rachael presented Go! TravelWise to 35 of Liverpool’s Primary and Secondary Personal and Social Health Education (PSHE) teachers. The Go! TravelWise interactive games, websites and lesson plan packs introduce sustainable travel options into the classroom. Despite a heavy cold she still felt she let the side down slightly by taking a taxi to the venue.

Splinter sounding good!

This morning, Chris Day and I finalised the voice over for the upcoming TravelWise Local Transport Plan viral video. We were really happy with how well it went and would like to thank the VO artist Cath Rice and studio engineer Mike at The Vocal Booth in Toxteth TV who were both brilliant.

Edge Hill Annual Report 09 arrives

Chris B and Pete celebrate as they just received printed copies of the Edge Hill University Annual Report 2009. It looks great, so thanks to The Printroom UK for doing a wonderful job. The report is environmentally friendly, featuring a drip varnish rather than the traditional use of Spot UV. The brochure also uses vegetable inks throughout.

Pete took his enthusiasm for environmental issues a little too far, resulting in the obliteration of both the kettle and the hoover … may they both rest in peace(s).
