Daughter came over to sort car stuff, O and the dog came too. O decided he was going to do some filming for a new short movie, so he films lots of brief takes of various ideas (often repeated many times so he can choose the best when editing). He asked Daughter to operate the camera (his phone) occasionally, he asked me to stand in certain places or to say a few words, or to give a certain look. He didn't tell us why or what the end result might be as he seemed to have lots of ideas coming and going but didn't share any with us.
The strangest bit was when he decided he needed a briefcase full of mugs of tea!
Tea is a precious product in this house so not wanting to waste that quantity I helped him create fake tea by finding some out-of-date coffee and very out-of-date powdered milk.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the edited end result.
I've been chatting to a lovely lady online who needs major surgery similar to what I've had, answering her worries and making suggestions when I can. The process for her has taken far longer than it should have done and it's been very stressful. She really kindly sent me a thank you card and prezzie.
Two neighbours missed coffee morning this week as they came back from their holiday with covid. Still so much of it around!
I've only really done "freestyle" crochet, sort of do whatever stitch makes it fit, but never remember what the stitches are called. I've been a knitter for ever and knitting patterns make total sense, but a crochet pattern is a bit of a foreign language. This little square is totally working from the pattern and there are a few mistakes which I'll hopefully improve on by the time I've made enough squares to join and make into something.
We've both had flu jabs now, and thankfully no major adverse reactions just the usual achy arm for about 24 hours.
Just heard from SisterP that her hubby tested positive this morning (he's had five jabs so hopefully he'll only have mild symptoms) which means unfortunately we can't visit as planned this weekend. We get to see them rarely, as they live two hours drive away, so we must reschedule as soon as they are germ free.
Hope you've had a good week, enjoying the mild weather and beautifully emerging autumn colours. See you next week.

When doing food photography years and years ago, much was faked. Coffee would have Fairy washing up liquid (no other brand) added as the bubbles hold on the cold brown liquid to make it look freshly poured whilst the photographer fiddles around with lighting etc. Now probably all done by cgi!
I'll pass on that clever trick to O, thanks.
