Snow day......

So yesterday the snow did come, and lo today it was a "snow day" I use that term in the loosest possible sense, because most people calling it this do so because they have a job they would otherwise be attending, I alas am not in such a position, and therefore am not really at liberty to use it. However I do, and I had assigned it as a day to do nice things and I did...... I had a great longing to make a snowman, and did so, I sadly have to say alone, which is not the way I really wanted it to be but my flatmate was on the cusp of illness and didn't want to tempt fate by being in amongst the coldness, a predicament we can all relate to.... So I with much endevour created Pete with my own fair hand.....

He looks quite special, and with me as his creator the chances of him being so are pretty high. Heres me and Pete just hanging out>>>
The hat is a great hat ( although a bit itchy) so here it is on people other than snowmen.....

I think we can all agree the hat is pretty amazing in a variety of contexts.....

2010 .... new dawn a new day etc



It's a new year, and as a lot of my good friends do it, I've decided to start blogging. I've named my blog such because for me the beginning of the new decade needs to be just that. My intentions are good, so lets see what 2010 brings..... Already it has bought an amazing new years celebration with beautiful people.




























Some nice beginnings of possible work stuff , a lovely gig and some other lovely stuff.
I must share the hilarity of my casting today ....... I was sat in a waiting room for a casting and behind what can only be described as a wicker barrier similar to this ,in the corner , a man was sat behind a desk with a telephone etc . It became apparent that he was an agent and this was indeed his "office". The most beautiful element to this arrangement, was that at one point there was a mass debate about payment because the contracts we were given gave complelety different pay rates to advertised, at which point he leaned around the wicker and gave us all the collective advice that we should "write refer to agent" on the forms ...... then disappeared back behind. It was a moment of comedic brilliance and confirmed that Ricky Gervais wasn't far off when he wrote Extras.......It also made me imagine the scenario of him taking interest in an actor and bringing them in for a meeting the actor's face and ensuing conversation would only be a thing of true wonderment.
And to conclude my first post, I must share the excitment surrounding my new lappy, and its built in webcam, the novelty hasn't quite worn off as of yet..............
