G'day, friends.
Our summer is definitely here, but a bit late. A bit cooler today at both ends but another scorcher in the middle. The film director told me that they were filming in the west of Sydney yesterday, with temperatures up to 43 C. Today's film rehearsal - they're also doing interviews for a "Making of..." documentary. I watched them interviewing difficult child 1 & difficult child 3. It's funny - at the audition, just before Christmas, difficult child 3 refused to talk to camera, didn't want to be filmed, wasn't sure he wanted to be in it - frankly, I don't know why they still wanted him. But watching him today, both rehearsing and also comfortably chatting to camera - I was amazed. This project is doing so many of these kids so much good.
They're not being paid for this - not sure why, but I don't care, they're getting a lot of good stuff out of it. At least, difficult child 3 is. difficult child 1 and easy child 2/difficult child 2 - they've done it all before, they enjoy this sort of thing. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was suffering from a bad cold and sinus infection today, she came along but stayed lying down. One of the other mothers went out for coffee supplies, I went along too so we could get some paracetamol for easy child 2/difficult child 2's bad headache.
Despite feeling so sick, she wants to work on her rose cuttings tomorrow, wants my help in transplanting them and setting up some sort of watering system for them. She was talking to me tonight about how to interbreed and produce new varieties - hmmm, this is beginning to sound like Aspie Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) to me. Her boyfriend has now moved in with us semi-permanently. He paid some board yesterday, which indicates some level of permanence intent. Then he had his wallet stolen last night - it could have been worse. It could have been stolen BEFORE he paid his board. So the thief didn't get as much. And boyfriend got his wallet back, but without the money.
Tomorrow the weather warms up again. I think I'm getting easy child 2/difficult child 2's cold, but I hope not. I've got another long drive on Wednesday & again on Saturday - the next two rehearsals. I hate driving when I feel lousy. And I hate trying to go to the beach when I have a cold.
Here's hoping.
Enjoy your Saturday.
