Happy Burns Night 2014

More re-shoots for Hungerford today, a short little session held at my old secondary school. I was put in charge of the catering, or rather the tea and coffees. I had to take a trip to Lidl yesterday to gather all the necessary supplies. Set up my little hot drinks table and set out to make some damn good tea and coffee. These beverages being a necessary time-killer and morale booster, the shot we needed to re-film was a monster reveal, so naturally, a lot of make-up needed to be applied. The two hours it took to dress up our actor was totally worth it though - genuinely terrifying results were achieved.

Arriving back home, we were treated to a Burns Night organized by Jamie. We even busted out the deep fat fryer to do some good and proper chippies. I was initially skeptical about using the fryer as it would have caused a right stink, but the chips were delicious. Packing it away just now was a little sad, it widened our smiles... and our waistlines.

That little witticism fell on deaf ears though as everyone was taken aback by Braveheart and his mighty final call for what he holds most dear. Spent most of the time watching thinkong of a drinking version we could play next year, I ultimately decided that the alarming number of decapitations and war cries would have left us with alcohol poisoning rather than a fun night.
