Thoughts for the day

5:03 am

And I’ve been awake for an hour or so, admittedly I went to bed around ten thirty last night.  I probably slept strait away too, I was exhausted, which is down to the stress of getting ready for Cannes and the stupidity of getting two hours sleep watching the election on BBC1.  I’ve never wanted anybody to fail quite as much as I have David Cameron.  I dislike him and so much of what he stands for, nearly to the point of obsession.  So I sit here and type in the hope of getting some more sleep.  I’m to tired to go for a run, but if I do get back to sleep then I’ll not have time when I wake up before heading off to Southampton.  Its not been a good exercise week for me I’m afraid.

 Get yer Tux on man!

I really need to loose a few pounds if I’m going to get this bloody Tux on comfortably.  It fits, just needs a bit more room for comfort.  Which I guess means a lot more running!  Its just so hard to get motivated sometimes.  Especially as it’s really cold… Hmmm, perhaps that is why I cant sleep?  Would make sense.  Having said that I’ve got my duvet, a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms on, and the added warmth of the dog. Perhaps I’ve got too much going on in my head?

Good news

The document is nearly finished, though a couple of errors have recently been found that need fixing, I do think it is a very good document.  And so it should be really.  Camp site is booked and confirmed and we just need to pick up the tent to have all of that side of things sorted. I’m lucky enough to be, being looked after by one of my mentors who is very well connected and is, when he can, keeping me under his wing.  I’m told I will be rubbing shoulders with many household names.  I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Muscle the most.  On a more serous note, I really do feel terribly lucky that this amasing opportunity is in front of me and fully intend to make the most of every last second. I’m just so very close to achieving my dreams.  Blimey, the start of them any way.

So Sleep

Yeah, perhaps it’s that busy head thing after all?  That, how cold it is (May?), my noisy lodger and er, my busey head.  I’m going to give it another go me thinks.

So you slowly tick off all the things you need…

Firstly there are all the laws in France for driving, light deflectors, bulb kit, triangle, first aid kit and florescent Jackets.  Then there are all the things that you need to live with: Tent, mattress, beeping slag, water holder, cooker, etcetera. Next comes the Cannes Kit, Business Cards - Ordered [laminated this time], Investment Pack - waiting on tender-hooks…Post Card pitches next… Oh then dress code.  Tux, Check.  Baz?

Missing Tux

Baz’ tux has done a runner, so today we go looking for it!  Or another anyway.  Last seen with a bit of sick on it at the bottom of his wardrobe…. Bugger. Still we are getting there, and I think it will be monumental.

And it does not let up at all

So this weekend we finished the  copy for the new website, the business pack and did a re-write of the script.   It’s a busy, busy time for us.  And very exciting.  There is still so much to do before Cannes but you just cant hep but think we are well on the way - hey!  I just cant see this not happening, not now.

Screen South

So I met David Castro from Screen South for the second time today.  He seams to be very interested in what we are doing, and was hugely helpful.  Especially with advice on the trip to Cannes, I just cant help thinking that he is going to be a huge help in the future.You just cant help thinking something has to happen at some stage.

5 Minns Off then

Well sometimes you just gotta walk the dog, who I will miss terribly when I’m in Cannes.
