D week 3...

...is finished with glee... and we're now free... to relax for a few days

Sunday last week was quite pleasant - so I headed off to the local "historical site" = Citadel Hill


It's an old military site (at the top of the local hill in Halifax), which I can only imagine was a fortress of some kind...





it's currently open as a tourist attraction, with a whole bunch of staff in full costume...

RED-sensor





2 x booms, 6 x wires, 10 x tracks, 3 pages, 2 cameras... TV is fun.
how Zan managed to make it all work, I'll never know... I just swing a stick and try to give him as much of the dialog as possible...

back at the local high school.


Extremely exciting news.
I'm heading back to Australia...
Anyone know of some reasonably-priced accommodation near Fox Studios in Sydney? (paddington/centennial park/Bondi-Junction)
I'll be in town from the end of August, until around christmas

see y'all soon
