I started doing this diary in June, it's quite new. If you haven't been following have a look at the Cast of Characters which gives a quick low down on the essential day to day characters who are mentioned here...it will make more sense if you do.

It seems that I can't make the video clips work. I will, just give me time. However I do want you to see what it was like out there yesterday, so here's the still.

The sun was out when I woke up so I was fairly sure I'd be getting a phone call from Clare to go out and finish shooting the film. Sure enough, not long after I was awake and sufficiently full of cafeine and nicotine the call came. It being a monday morning I had various phone calls urgently waiting so I got those done while she was on her way over. Since the sun was out I did think twice about wearing my thermal underwear but I've spent too many hours freezing my arse off on that mine to risk it. When we got there, although it was still dry the wind was blowing so hard I had trouble standing up sometimes.

We managed to get several scenes filmed and then had a break for sandwiches and tea. In the middle of this it started raining, just a bit at first, then the full works. We had left the camera sitting in an archway so Clare had to go running out with the tarpaulin and bring it back. I wasn't convinced it was going to stop but by the time we'd finished lunch it had cleared away again. We then shot the last two scenes, just in time, the rain started up again just as we were leaving. When we got home we spent a bit of time filming the horses, there's some nice stills of them stills in my Animals Picture File.

By then it was time for dinner after which I spent some time with the video while Clare had a bath. I then took Lorna over to collect her car and trailer which is looking ever so good with proper legal lights and everything now, which was just as well because it was dark by then.

Now it's time I get my revenge on Clare for dragging me up the mountain in the rain.
