Over-exposed, or justly famous?
This week has been marked by desperate film crews fighting hand to hand for the right to get a close up, record a sound bite or at least film us from a distance as we bicycle by on the way to Marcel’s Grocery Shop for our bit of back bacon and a bottle of Scotch. Well, maybe not actual hand to hand combat, but there are potentially two, and they both want to film us. We would try to pit them one against the other, except that one is my daughter doing a school project, and the other isn’t exactly MGM either. The interesting thing is that they now want to film each other, apparently with us in the middle. Or at some stage we may become superfluous, with a bit of luck.
Apparently, according to the non-daughter director, we are extremely unusual people, and need documentarying ( his phrase, not mine). At this point in his dissertation the dog got up and left, with a worried expression on its face.
It seems sad that the state of modern man has become so hopelessly uniform and undistinguished that just moving to live on a boat, throwing the tv out and saying you’re thinking of sailing round the world makes you different enough to be ‘documentaryed’ for history. Shouldn’t we all be doing things like this? But thats just me….
On a lighter note, we have again this week done absolutely nothing to get through the list of jobs, and several more things have actually fallen off, gotten lost or turned out not to work any more for no particular reason. However, the weather is finally getting a bit better, so maybe this week we’ll get something done. By the way, I’m adding a ‘dog sailing’ page, for those of you who wonder how dogs get on sailing long distance. It’ll have a bit of cat information too, which is a bit of a cheek seeing as our cat ran off in Tasucu, but maybe I can prevent other cats doing the same!
