There's always time for shopping
| 11:03 UK time, Sunday, 4 May 2008
Yesterday was interesting - I made canapés on and off all day. I don't think people have any idea how time consuming that is. Next time you are at some function, popping those half a dozen tiny morsels of smoked salmon and cream cheese into your mouth, spare a thought for the poor schmuck who probably spent two days making 1,500 of the blasted things!
Then Mel (video producer) came from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to drop off and explain the handycam. It seems like all the ´óÏó´«Ã½ guys are friendly and good-humoured and have endless patience. Where do they get them from? I thought about taking the camera into Denbigh with me as I had to do some food shopping for next week but didn't. I asked some of the few people I know if they would be up for being filmed and pretty much all of them said no! Maybe I can bribe them with cakes?
I'm now thinking about how I'm going to manage all the things I need to do. I think I probably prefer doing the blog as it's easier and I'm used to writing. But what I'm going to try to do is a bit of blog (blah more like) every day and think of something interesting to film on top if I can.
But there's always time for shopping - and so my next job for today is finally to get an mp3 player. I have a notoriously low boredom threshold and usually take a book wherever I go so that if I am bored I can at least read. I get very cranky if I have to persist with something after I have lost interest!
We got given some dates for filming last week and it looks like, as there are two of us in Denbigh, we might get driven to the locations (which is nice and will make life easy). But if I am going to be a passenger in a car for long periods and then hanging around while filming is done, a book isn't always going to be the answer. So maybe an mp3 is a good idea. I've resisted buying one before now as I want one with a radio too - will that be more expensive? No point in having one unless I can get the Archers!
