Script reading and star gazing

So the weekend brought another couple of customers to the site; very pleased! Another trip planned with The Bloke before he starts his swish new job next week but literally en route to Devon I got a call to come back to Cardiff to help out for the week on a film about stargazing for  The One Show.

I needed the money, despite being fairly busy with script stuff, but actually the thing that swayed me most was just because of old Auntie.

Ever since I watched Casualty every Saturday with my mum and popcorn, ever since I watched Pride and Prejudice (the definitive version – the one with Colin Firth), ever since, well since I can remember; I’ve wanted to work for the BBC.

I’d applied for jobs. Very occasionally, they’d offered me jobs too. My Bloke has worked with them for years. Somehow, though, it had never worked out between Auntie and me. Until now.

Even though its not the career direction I want to go in, and it’s just a week’s work I’m really pleased; it feels like, somewhere, the 11-year old version of me just thanked her lucky star.
P.S. Official thanks to Lovely Bloke for… well,  just ‘cuz…
