Just a quick one as I want to try and sleep as much as possible for Thursday's shoot! I'll write about it afterwards so that I'll hopefully have some photos too! It's the staff night out at Venture this weekend, I want to wear a dress but so far my bruise is limiting my choice! I think I may go with my Vivienne Westwood dress as it seems like a good opportunity to wear it to something nice.

Still Bruised:


Song Of The Day: KMFDM - Megalomaniac
Reason: One of my favourite KMFDM songs and makes me want to dance the instant I hear it.

Highlight Of The Day: Getting 3 bookings at work.

Well today has been awesome, but this evening terrible. This morning we met up with the boy's friend from work and went with her to see her horses. They're gorgeous and so well looked after! We had a short ride, but sadly within 1 minute of getting into the school the horse I was on, Seeky, decided to spook at something and completely caught me off guard so off I went! It wasn't a bad fall and I think poor Seeky was more freaked out that I'd come off than I was! My bum/bottom of my spine is majorly aching though, dreading what it will be like in the morning! No serious harm done though and we had a decent 'getting to know each other' ride. After we'd finished at the horses, we went for some nice pub food. It was a nice meal and was very filling! We also got caught in torrential rain and had to run back to the car. It was nice to meet someone the boy gets on with so well and she was a very nice girl, so hopefully we can go along again.

However, after we got home from visiting my parents we decided to clean the rats out as usual. We had them on the sofa whilst we washed their platforms and toys etc and out of nowhere Jacques decided to try and jump the 3 feet back into his cage. However, he missed, hit the side of the cage and fell a good 2 feet to the floor. He was shocked and just lay under the bookcase for ages, until we managed to get him back into his cage. We noticed him limping and decided to take him to the vet as it's not like Jacques to be so quiet and still. The vet said it looks like he's either damaged his ligaments or fractured his knee. He's had some painkillers and he's home for the night to see if the swelling goes down, but he has to go back in the morning for x-rays and then we'll see what damage has been done. Poor Jacques.

Trip To The Vets:

Today was the set up day for Boom In Shot. We went to Antwerp Mansion, which is our location, to set up the sets. We created the fake film set complete with sacrificial alter, melted candles and spray painted pentagram and it looks awesome! The mansion is a great location, it's full of junk too, so we managed to find some old books that dated back to as early as 1880! I'll take my Canon tomorrow and try to get some good shots. Can't wait for shooting to begin.

Song Of The Day: KMFDM - Hau Ruck
Reason: Awesome song, they were amazing live and it was one of the best gigs I've been too. Better yet, we'd just found the tickets for it!

Highlight Of The Day: Getting aquainted with the mansion.
