My Perfect Movie Cast
If you could make your own movie, who would you cast to star in the leading roles? I'd choose Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, Jim Carrey (more for his dramatic work), Zack Braff, Julia Stiles, Dax Shepard, Scarlett Johansson, Liam Neeson and Juliette Lewis. I imagine it must be a film maker's dream to create a character for an actor of their choice. I love to think about where my Perfect Movie characters would live, what they'd do, what they'd wear, where'd they go...such fun riddles to solve. Look out for my next Perfect Movie post where I'll include some images of dream scene locations.
Jacaranda Rain
Spring has sprung in Durban. The parks and streets are carpeted with purple Jacaranda flowers. I've been meaning to take my camera out for a walk and snap some Spring prettiness but I just haven't found the time, tut tut. Happily, my friend Amanda, took this great pic of her fiance, Gavin, in a purple blossom downpour. I just love it because it totally captures Gav's joyful spirit. Lovely stuff guys!
5 o'clock goodbyes
This was my last day in central London. I crossed the Thames on Blackfriars Bridge every day for 6 months. Some people have done that for 6 years. Some, more. I remember the fruit stall man, the Ricky Gervais lookalike and the suited guy and girl who always hurried past me in deep conversation. Were they colleagues or a couple? I always wanted to know. After work, I'd often wander down to Charing Cross among the runners and the dogwalkers, the city workers and the tourists. I miss it. One day, I'll return.
