Farewell to Sydney

A last chance to admire the view from the hotel balcony. A great fortnight of hard graft, (well not quite that hard) and a little light refreshment at the local watering holes.

Wrap party food

Fish, chips and a local brew. Lovely.

The Wrap Party

Everybody likes free beer. The magic arm ban, promises a fun filled night.

As the Sydney sun shines the temperature rises. Today's shooting is going well,so we may finish at a respectable time. A few beers at Manley Beach has been muted. I suppose I should tag along, because we all know, "work is work".

Shoot day three and the pace is starting to take it's toll. Thank goodness I am wearing factor 15 suntan cream. With the weather up in the 90s, it's important to relax whenever possible.
Tonight we are walking back from the set to the hotel. We might stop off at 4 or 5 old heritage Pubs to soak up a little culture.

Bleery eyed and tired

Taking a well earned rest

Shoot day two and the work load is crippling. Missing the crisp winter weather of England. it's just too sunny here.

This will do, fine.

Flight Two- Singpore to Sydney

"Is there any chance of an upgrade please".
"No problem, Mr. Wood".

Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub. Singapore.

Downing a swift pint of the black stuff in the 30 degrees heat. The electronic shops have been relieved of some of their excess stock. Another dip in the pool, then back to Changi Airport for part two of the flight.

Yep it's a long way

Part one of the trip is over thank god. 13 hours squashed in a window seat. (Vera Drake. Good film).

This is the view out of my room at the Orchard Hotel. Another "priceline.com" thirty quid special.

Orchard Road (shopping mekka) is around the outher side of the hotel along with swimming pool I am about to dive into. Whatsmore there's a SUBWAY actually in hotel. How's your luck

Giving Dan-Dan his mints

Nikki & George are going away, for two weeks holiday at Nanny & Danda's. Meanwhile Da is going to be working very hard in Australia. Poor Da. Better give Dan-Dan his mints before we go.

Away on a shoot. Soaking up the rays. Anyone who has had enough of the cold, wet, dark English winter, this should make you feel worse. Watch daily as I/we sit around in the sun working really hard. We'll try not to gloat. Clearly some of this is of a Top Secret nature, but some of the rest will be updated daily, internet connection permitting.
