Meh. My weekend was full-on in a very inactive way.
Friday night I saw Millions which is a lovely heartwarming British kid's movie in the tradition of Billy Elliot but with no dancing. It was really very funny and the child lead actors were fantastic.
Saturday I went shopping and bought: owl buttons to repair my coat, hayfever meds from the Chinese medicine shop, time for my phone and baby's first pair of Fin pants! They are a charcoaly grey with a drawstring that ties on the left hip. Turns out I am an XS at Fin. I was surprised.
Then the lovely Rachel and Lee and I watched Christopher Guest mocumentaries all afternoon and evening. Alan joined us for dinner the later two.
On Sunday I went shopping with my mother and sister for wedding clothes for mother. I ended up buying my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding! I am relieved that it's taken care of and I know I like what I'm wearing! It's a lovely floaty pink dress from Pagani with beading all over the front, hankerchiefy pointy hem and is very slinky in the body fit. It is a size 8. Suspect am tiny elf.
Spent all of yesterday afternoon and evening editing "It's a Wonderful Library" with Hix and Norm. It was great fun re-visiting all that stuff and the footage I'd forgotten we had and watching freeze-frames of silly expressions the actors made. We made some executive (or directorial) decisions and messed around with the film. I think it makes a lot more sense now, which is fantastic.
Norm's going to do some more tweaking: sound fx, special fx, messing with shots, etc...so don't hold your breathe just yet for the director's cut.
It was a draining way to spend a Sunday and I now need a holiday. I think I'll go back to Rarotonga and stay a month or something.
ps. won another My Little Pony auction on trademe. Bad bad bad Jenni.
