...three things I've encountered in the first three weeks of the film.
The first: Long Hours - has meant that for the second time in my career, I've nearly exceeded my weekly wage in overtime...
The second: fatigue - usually stems from the first (14+hrs on-set, with almost an hour and 15mins travel each way on some days...)
The third: body-lice - is courtesy of our Tweed-river location.
Most people who know me, also know that I don't do so well on small boats. Day 1 on the river wasn't so good (queasy at lunch from all the rock'n'rollin) so Day 2 was spent on the shore; by day 3; I was itching like crazy.
The rash that came up scared me so much, that my only day off (Sunday after 6-day week) was spent in a doctors office getting prescription chemicals to burn the little f*ckers off my skin.
5 treatments and a whole bunch of discarded clothing/sheets later; I'm still itchy - but recovering...

Well, I'm off the film for a week - hiking in Fiordland NZ until the 12th December.
phone will be off, and I don't imagine there'll be internet access, so catch you all once I'm done.
