Filming up-date

Not filming today but away to a secret location tomorrow, will tell you more on Monday.

Albert's new trick

Returning home from the shops I found that Albert had left his key in the door and I could not get in.  I telephoned him to no avail and was invited for a cup of tea by a neighbour who consequently returned home with me to check the door situation; suddenly the side gate opened and Albert rushed out asking what I was doing and the gate locked behind him.

There we were both locked out of our own house!

Albert had been cutting the grass and blamed me for the fiasco.

How did we get into the house, by borrowing a long ladder from another neighbour and Albert vaulting over the gate?

DRINKING

Tea today, tea tomorrow ……………

First in pub

Emilio and Albert were first in pub but we soon caught up – need a lie in tomorrow and we did not win the quiz – I am not meeting you until next month Veronica. 

Yes I still like you.

Raining

Veronica it is raining, can I meet you in the pub and not go walking?

My breakfast

I was only away for a minute and Elvis dived into my porridge – definitely not buying you a new gazebo now!

Come on out with me to the allotment Elvis, you need to run off the hearty breakfast.

Out with Veronica this evening and walking – I hope she is buying me a drink afterwards.

He cried

Elvis is so upset, the gazebo blew away and it belonged to him – he can sit in the shed like a normal cat. 

Walking with a friend

I am supposed to be walking with Veronica and her sister Robina on Wednesday (out at tea time again Albert) and I appear to have the plans wrong. 

I am sorry Veronica and promise to pay more attention in future – what time are we meeting???

 

 

Bin bags and coat hangers

Tansy Cornfield offered to sort and organise my wardrobe, just in case she calls; I started to do it myself.  I have collected three bags for the charity shop and was very busy that is why I did not hear Albert shout for help.  He is out of the attic now and has calmed down; he was very hungry.

Listening

Albert is in the attic again, I can hear him shouting ……………

New glasses

Veronica will not recognise me when she next sees me; I have purple glasses and blue contact lenses for evenings!

My part

I am to be a fish filliter’s daughter – not allowed to speak.

An actress again

Ruth Melody wants to know if I will be doing my own stunts?

 

 

 

 

 

On the beach

Fog stopped paddling; we should return in winter.

Nevertheless, we had a fun day – sang together in the car then jumped in puddles - of course we know how old we are!

 

 

 

Waiting

Veronica I am ready for our day out to Hornsea, it is raining so may need to spend more time over lunch. 

Will we get to paddle …………….. come on collect me soon; Albert is trying to persuade me to stop at home with him –WHY?

 

 

 

 

No dinner

I told Albert to get his own meals because I am a ‘resting’ actress.

Ee by gum - Yorkshire slang for Oh My God

I have been selected for filming in September – I was joking Albert I shall only be missing for twelve hours a day!

Tell you more after my costume fitting next week.

Veronica I have so much to tell you on Tuesday.

 

Shopping

I need essential food shopping but I am worried in case the telephone rings and I am wanted on set.

I will dash out quickly and leave Albert in charge of the telephone.

Not heard from Veronica but cannot wait until Tuesday when she is picking me up from home – we have promised to be back before Wednesday.

 

 

Confirmation

I am now officially available as an extra free at short notice for work on films and adverts.  However, my photographs need several hours of air brushing ……………..

 

 

 

.

Just like the movies

I have seen the old movies where the would be actors sit waiting in corridors; so I should not have been surprised.  We were photographed and waited, measured and waited, registered and waited – it was a glimpse of another life. 

My pals and I are just waiting for the telephone call now …..

Albert I am just going out on location, get your own meals please and I will be back in a month or two!

 

 

 

 

Email comment

Now then Hugo Thierry from Liverpool I did have an audition and one day will be very posh- but still your friend.

 

 

 

 

An actor

I am too tired to tell you about this evening’s experience, I will tell you tomorrow.

 

 

Advice

I should have sought advice about this audition, should I wear make-up or not, a dress or a skirt?

Setting off now, it is a long journey but I have extra clothing, a book and a can of lager in my handbag

I may of course be too busy to blog in future.

 

Wednesday

Veronica does not know what I am doing on Wednesday but I did invite her for an adventure.

Early morning

Apparently I sent my sister in law a message telling her I was going for an audition at 4 am in the morning; what kind of film would that be?

Stage name

Maurveena, Clarabelle and I are travelling to York on Wednesday to audition for bit parts in a film.  I obviously cannot tell you anything yet but watch this space.

 

Another bus trip

I went out for the day with Violet Rose on Saturday; we had bacon butties with men in lycra …….

 

 

 

 

 

Martha's story

I forgot to tell you about Martha and Doris who were on the bus when Albert and I went to Wetherby on Wharfe, did I not tell you where we went?  We were sat in front of these two ladies and when we reached our destination we knew all about Martha’s bunions and Doris’s varicose veins and Martha’s fifth husband; you can certainly write a book on a bus!

 

 

 

 

Dangerous work

I needed to catch up on my garden and spent a few hours doing so; I was pulling up the root of a plant and fell off the path into the middle of the rosemary bush!  I did smell nice – but do not plan to do that again.

Albert did not hear me shout.

Not a whole day

Albert and I only had a half day out because the bus times have changed, disappointed he did not treat me to lunch; he did buy me a pork pie though.

 

Back from the sea

I think Veronica is back from the seaside, I saw a comment on bookface.  Looking forward to another day out in two weeks time, we have an exciting plan.

I am not driving!

Albert's plan

Albert is taking me out for the day tomorrow, I wonder why?

Come back soon Veronica I have so much to tell you.

 

 

Football

Albert is away on Saturday to see a football match; this will give me time to socialise for a few hours and I will be home before him.

Or I may just stay in and dust!

Holiday pictures

Veronica always sends me a wine glass picture with her location as background – I have just received a cup of tea picture.  Ok it is breakfast time but I did not know she drank tea.

I could visit her; it would only take three hours to get to Whitby – no I cannot as I am meeting Debra for a business lunch!

 

 

 

Returned

Albert I am back, Albert where are you; sorry I am late.  Oh you have had your tea ………….

 

 

 

Dead heading and digging

Elvis and I are at the allotment today with Mary Bunion, Bernadette and Frank – we tried to invite Nigel Slater to come along and cook our fresh vegetables for lunch; he has not replied.

I could be here for a long while and just in case left Albert a salad and a bag of crisps – I did not give him a time of return.

My homemade wine is not ready but Mary Bunion has supplies to go with our lunch; I would have invited Veronica but she is elsewhere.

 

 

 

Allotment visit

I need to check my allotment; Frank told me my leeks are ready

Veronica is at the seaside again, I hope to hear from her soon.

 

Mark my dentist

My dentist knows what I get up to as he reads my blog; I have to be careful not to make him laugh when he has a drill in his hand.

                                                                                        

 

Saturday

A day at the races and thank you horse number eight, I won and won again.

Back to the local club and Albert drank whilst I danced until midnight, may have to rest today and stick to drinking tea!
