Set Build and Sarnies

So the washing machine saga goes on. We have a new one. It doesn't work properly. I wouldn't joke with Director Guillotine about it - you could be on very dangerous ground....

Speaking of Dangerous, he and his good lady wife (Char lady) came to stay with us on Saturday night. I cooked. Well I heated. And managed to burn an Apple Pie.

Yesterday was our first set build and we had a small, but incredibly dedicated, crew, who worked their socks off from the start and we achieved great things! The walk out is up. Titanic is up. The back and side flats are undercoated, ready for me to paint next weekend. Char lady supplied everyone with bacon sarnies, innumerable cups of tea and her and Security guy went to Tesco and provided us all with lunch. In addition to all this she also joined the sewing circle and helped me out a load, so many, many thanks for that.

The boys worked very hard and Director Guillotine supervised, once he had returned from collecting the guillotine, which is fabulous and will provide Set Man with a whole load of stuff to do next week. There was much rudeness from some of the boys (you know who you are) but we were seriously outnumbered in the blokes to girls ratio so it was inevitable really, boys will be boys I suppose.

The girls (all three of us) formed a sewing circle and stayed in the main hall instead of going into room 1 - in the spirit of togetherness. Peasant Girl was a stellar help, cutting strips of fabric for me to sew together for revolutionary sashes. There's still loads of work to do for those so I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow night....
