Wednesday 22nd July 2015

Worked a proper long, full day in the office, to get some pennies in, whilst keeping on top of the admin for a few of the projects - the show in Preston next week, the film etc. As it stands, the film will actually end on 51 sackings, 52 if I can get to Bristol to re-film the Anna scene in time. I hope so, I like Anna (as much as she terrifies me a bit) and it's a funny scene that I'm gutted to have accidentally deleted.

Dad said goodbye to some of his friends today, even my mum - who has been remarkably upbeat throughout this whole, horrible, time, sounded broken by it on the phone.

Called Richard - one of my best mates who also happens to run a printing firm, to see how much notice he needs to print 5,000 flyers if I was going to go ahead with the fringe. My plan is to leave it as close to the festival as possible. He said a few hours...what a legend.

Evening met up with Izzy, initially to chat through scenes for the film and working out the filming for the 'non-sacking' scenes, and to also discuss forming this film production company, the Oscar Pike sitcom, the new Oscar Pike stage show and fringe logistics. But naturally it just ended up as being two close friends chatting and bantering, and she cheered up this slightly weary drummer a lot. Which I appreciate, a lot.
