All Quiet On The Home Front

The household has suddenly become smaller again, I took Ms Whiplash (our Production Manager) and one of the Camera Boys to the airport yesterday and dropped Spider Man at the railway station a short while ago. This evening The Director and his son Barney are down at the lake seeing who is the least competent at fishing.


Meanwhile I’m sewing a net curtain into a big shroud that will fit over a wooden frame the size of a shower cubicle. The whole thing will sit outside with Cabbage White butterfly pupae in it and some cabbage plants that I’ve been growing in pots (they are looking a bit stunted), we’re hoping the pupae will hatch, then lay their eggs on the cabbages (and we’ll try and film that).

    I'd rather watch Ms Whiplash lay an egg. Indeed people would pay good money to see that

    MJ - Have I been eating pupae each time I enjoy a nice dish of cabbage and corned beef? Yes you have - doubly nutritious

    Mr awkward If I had a nickel for every time I was hoping the pupae would hatch... Would you have a quarter yet?

    Scarlet - I miss Ms Whiplash too

    Savannah - making movies can be a lot of fun

    XL - Won't be long before you're applying for a Fixer gig yourself - I can tell

    Eric - the curtains are strangely soothing

    Emerz - I'm here till the shooting stops

  11. Have you grown specially coloured cabbages to show off the pupae to best advantage? If the former were normal white ones the camera might not be able to pick up the latter very well.
