so far , it looked as if it was going to be a fairly quiet week workwise , but there was always his writing , if all else failed and he could find no more excuses to avoid it ; there was the family history research he had taken on , unfortunately none of them now looked as interesting as they had at first ; he had a voice-over job on thursday in an advert for a local carpet company and there was a film and a tv series being made in the region for which he hoped he would get some bit part work , again .
