Making the Promo video

Mr C is marginally better - thank you all for your words of support and the kind comments about my knitted coat. He has been in touch with the surgery and now has a prescription for a muscle relaxant as well as the codeine so fingers crossed.

Today I got together stuff to pack in the hope we’ll be on the flights on Friday then went over to Katy’s with a few other women to do the promotion video for the naked calendar which the WI made and is selling to raise money for the hospice. They didn’t have enough people today so I offered to help as #1 daughter benefitted from outings the hospice organised.

Katy decided we should dress in 1950s outfits - twinsets, pearls and hats - (I knitted my pink twinset almost 50 years ago, in retro style) with the dialogue in GenZ speak. It was all a giggle and in a good cause.

I was not in the calendar in case you were wondering - they had plenty WI people though if they’d been stuck I’d not have minded. Though on second thoughts - I don’t like the cold. The cameraman, who used to work for BBC, got us to do our own bits then he’ll edit them together with the appropriate calendar pages.

I did May and December. “Miss May in the bluebells. Very mindful. Very cutesy. Very demure.” And “Our Mother Christmas calendar girl is the GOAT. No cap.”


All in a good cause - made 5K so far but really need more. It’s available on-line.
