Mick Jagger famously has trouble obtaining life cover
I woke up this morning feeling absolutely rotten with an unhealthy dose of man flu. Working for yourself has many benefits but feeling down right rotten and not getting paid for having a day off is not one of them, so I trundled into the workshop in a less than chirpy mood today Funnily enough I was speaking to an insurance company just last week about accident and sickness cover, which only pays after you have been off work for a month, so it would need to be more than my man flu or a proper accident to trouble the claims hot-line. On a similar note, for life insurance, sculptors are put in the same risk category as rock stars (does a stone sculptor classify as a rock star?), so in between trashing hotel rooms and wild orgies, I will try and make time to carve more sculptures so that I don’t have to put images of ageing musicians on my blog. I’m hoping my health improves by next week as I will be working with the kids of Rushy Mead School in Leicester for a few days. I will post some pics of their efforts next week.
