Return to Rutland

We spent he whole of yesterday in Rutland again. This time the full cast of Stag were present, with Laura and Steve, Laura's brother, helping out. I guess this means that whichever film wins Laura can claim victory by association.

We got a lot done and although Jon and I didn't turn up till lunchtime - the morning was spent filming scenes with Steve K, as he couldn't be there last time - it seemed like a long day. We filmed a couple of death scenes and also the first appearances by Chris as Rutland Nutter and the Beast.

At he end we all retired to the Plough and I ended up drinking Rutland Panther, rather appropriately. They let the dogs out in the pub at about midnight and we were treated to two large black energetic specimens that would place a dog chew or ball on your table and expect you to throw it for them. This was a game that had limited exercise value for the dogs within the confines of a small pub.

Today we packed up camp and headed back and the rest of Sunday has been spent, as it should be, relaxing.

It's Getting Serious

So today Rich suggests we all get together and visit the venue and assign tasks, or rather clarify the tasks that have already been assigned. This will also involve a trip to a brewery to ensure that the beer selected for the bug day is up to scratch.
The date suggested was a date I had pencilled in for going to Hull for the weekend but as I haven't heard anything further about that I am assuming it may not be happening.

A sort of homecoming

Went to De Montfort Hall on Sunday night to see Kasabian - last night of three. Enjoyed The Hours and Jersey Budd as support but I don't really 'get' Kasabian, even if they are the local band.

Gary and I rushed out during breaks to see Diane and Gill, who missed both supports and were standing outside in the fresh air. Diane was explaining that Steve would need somebody to assist with his make-up when we next go filming in Rutland. He really is taking this seriously!
