Even better day today!

David White came back to me this morning to say he’s definitely interested in helping out, so I’m hoping that’s Dr Crabtree sorted. He’s a bit younger than I had originally thought for Dr C, but I think that would play better with the idea that he’s protecting Jess because he likes her.

I sent David a copy of the script, so hopefully he’ll come on board. He wants to meet up next week.

Amber has been into the flat already and decorated the front room where we’ll mainly be filming. … Read More »

Either Jupiter is making it’s presence felt or I’m just back on good form after my illness, but today was a very positive day.

Spoke to Louise about sorting a new location fo the bookshop scene and suggested that perhaps she could try the second-hand book shop near Active Sport in Folkestone. She then had a moment of … Read More »

Today is the last day of my first holiday in 2005, during which I spent most of my time either being Very Ill or tending of my wife and son who were also Very Ill. I don’t think I’ve been that poorly for a very long time. Darren also went down with it last week and summed it up by likening it to the nasty bugs that used to go around when we were at primary school. I can’t ever remember feeling so low and miserable.

So rested, I am (24 hours straight sleep, more or less, on Friday – there’s always a silver lining!), but not so relaxed.

In all the vomit action I’d quite forgotten about the film (actually I hadn’t forgotten it so much as given up on the idea that I would survive to finish … Read More »
