RIP the Sword Brolley

Samurai sword went out in a blaze of glory. It protected our filming extras for a little bit and I think it helped us keep sheltered while cooking lunch but with the 'Storm of '13' upon us all it took was a sharp gust of wing and the brolly was immediately bent. Then it snapped. Then it snapped in 5 other places. The purchase itself would probably rank quite highly on my 'biggest waste of money' list, certainly just getting a genuine umbrella next time, none of this novelty nonsense.

Otherwise, today went off without a hitch. I was predominately holding up human and vehicular traffic today so our abandoned streets scenes didn't look so lively. Getting back home to Bournemouth again proved to be the worst part of the weekend. Had to take a coach to Reading train station to get on an hour and a half long train journey. When it came down to it though, I was on it for nearly double that time. Jamie very kindly met me at the train station but neither of us had cash, nor was their a cash point in our proximity so we braved the absolutely crap weather for the sake of sodden banter. I'll probably be dry again this time next year.
