Mission Accomplished!

I was overjoyed when an email popped into my in box from my fellow blogger and very good friend Frenchy Phil asking if I wanted to catch 'Welcome To The Sticks' at the Broadway cinema on Sunday pm, but I confess, when I agreed, I did have ulterior motives. The last time we went to the cinema together was to see Le Donk, the Shane Meadows movie and I came away with the inspiration to make my own film, which fitted quite nicely into making a short film to go on You Tube task. Then an idea began to form, slow but sure at first, until I had the basis of a structure for a 10 minute short film. The subject matter? My friend Frenchy Phil. Phil is an ex actor and has had the most fascinating life that I think truly warrants capturing on film. So today at the Broadway, after plying him with lager and tempting him with a bag of minstrels, I plucked up courage to ask him and he has said yes. Now I just need to get grips with my camcorder and learn how to edit. I wonder if Shane is available for a master class?

White Chocolate Cookies & Frenchy Phil

I was desperately thinking how I could work 'making white chocolate cookies' into my blog and then my friend Frenchy Phil rang. Frenchy it seems has had the news today that he may be made redundant. Never one to dwell on things, Frenchy has an idea of what he would like to do, if and when this happens - he will teach French to beginners. Guess who will be his first pupil? Now where's that white chocolate cookie to celebrate another task organised!

Today I've Been.......

Mostly watching my friend Dave doing a 10k run and spending time with Frenchy Phil. Ooh, I've also been getting prepared for my London trip next week and my visit to The Ritz for tea, which will be another tick off my list. Think I may also be booking a deluxe suite whilst I'm there at £1945 - not!
