Today I did my estate agent impersonation, was showing prospective renters Sumitra's flat. I'm glad I could help her out after having to renege on moving into her flat. Showing people around made me really think about the influence of the person guiding you through an experience can have on your perception of that experience. I quite enjoyed demonstrating things; it helps that it is a lovely flat. Having watched a lot of property television, I now realise that in order to maximise the journey through the house I should have plotted the highs and lows, I finished on the spare room and that is not a highlight of the property. It makes me more aware of how I will experience flat viewings in the coming weeks.
One of the viewers told me of a self contained flat on Wilton Street (with a bed up a ladder!). I'm going to call that gumtree land lord tomorrow and arrange a viewing, perhaps it is the same property. I might also call Mr Ali and see if he has somewhere or knows someone.
Things to do:
- Get the Big Issue office number, call them regarding my article (have a clearer idea of what the angle is, maybe do some sample writing/drawing)
- Call GHA or the council and enquire about housing lists, criteria etc
- Think about relevant drama exercises that I can use to make material
- Winter School app (speak to Debby about Julia Bardsley, maybe apply for Del Re)
- Stream of Consciuosness blurb writing (don't go for the easy option, work through styles to find a better way of copywriting)
- 4 or 5 designs for images
