Its application day - all the different funding agencies have their deadline tomorrow - which means the last day for posting is Thurs - and that has to be super quick mail. As a freelancer I have to always have an eye on the future - and the next project - up to two years in advance - which means 24hr days around deadline time.
T and I stop off at the park on the way down the hill from Wakari - I forget its name - yes I pick up. T then has to wait around while I do my posting etc. While we are in the post office I take my eye off her and notice she has shied away and is lying under the table away from the queue - shes letting me know that all is not well - and it becomes clear that the person behind hates dogs and clearly thinks T should NOT be in the post shop. The staff however have a different idea.
We survive and its off to the Waldron - but guess what its wall to wall Ds and regular cop cars and its fun day with guns at the shooting range. And yes they do shoot at figures - take a look.
I'm still hunting a venue for the showing in July - the Aquatic Centre is great but maybe a bit far from the Uni - Dan and I are negotiating on the Old Gym which is perfect. Negotiations prove difficult but things work out when I go straight to the source and deal with the users not the timetable guy.
12.30 and its Logan Park -meet the fabulous Film Clubbers who are still keen on the project in site of many set backs with equipment, dogs and the weather. Its a great school and very busy in the arts. Kristan the Media Studies teacher is fantastic supporting the students and project.
2pm and its Beatrice. We have met before - I'm intrigued by Beatrice's work and interest in things community. I'm tired and generally incoherent but B is onto it. Biscuits and tea help. She also has a garden full of black plants- this is fascinating. Saphy her dog is loving the sun and the special lunch enjoyed before my arrival.
Quick visit with Peter the set designer who is helping out with "Commune" a Uni based side project.
Tomahawk and the crew. Everyone is out. Digby dog Bossdin, Maisie and a couple of stray Schnauzer's.
Alice the lovely black misfit is walked by a very young boy - the dog always pulls and runs away - but shes smart and comes back. The weed eating Shar Pei crosses are out and about. Their walker is the neighbour who cant stand to see them tied up all the time.
Finally its the last thing of the day - a "Commune" meeting. We adjourn to the local bar instead and celebrate Hahna's thesis submission.
