Wonder what the technical problems are - maybe the user-interface returned to the hell from which it sprang? And maybe something more user-friendly (or at the very least a better date-inputting function) will emerge.
Update on Grantium:
It will remain unavailable to users until next Weds, 6 Aug.
We've shared more information in relation to our different funding programmes online today.
Once again, we're very sorry for the frustration this is causing.

INT. MY STUDY. EARLY MORNING.
Dog wanders in, nonchalantly.
Dog: Watcha doing?
Me: Writing my DYCP budget.
Dog: Include a line for Dog Treats.
Me: Sadly I don’t think that’s a valid expense for an @artscouncilengland.bsky.social budget.
Dog: Going back to bed then.
Dog leaves.
END.

As I get more experienced (older) I am increasingly outspoken about the need for kindness in theatre practice. Therefore, if you are a TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences) maker who feels the need for a chat or some support then pop into my DMs. #weworkkind #tya #theatreforyoungaudiences #pya

A very early start this morning for a video call with a class of 7 and 8 year olds in Singapore who had been to see my play yesterday. Joyful to see the excitement on their faces at meeting 'the writer'! Excellent questions including, 'why weren't there more peas in the play?' :-)
