the office, thursday 11am
(not sure if one pro7b head's enough to light this section of the alps...? oh, well: let's give it a go)

frances at work
admittedly, it was 35º, midday with NO shade and the silver brolly wasn't being used elsewhere.
but
i may need fresh herses assistance.
note the way ms.hood has her back to (the legs of) erin densham as we're shooting.
regardless, had a good swimwear shoot with erin on the rocks of aix les bains.
managed to NOT get burnt myself and not overheat but i did have to dress embarrassingly badly to accomplish this.
particularly bad was my union jack swimming trunks (i brought to be ironic but didn't expect to wear whilst shooting for several hours) tilley hat and hiking trainers combo.
you will not see any pictures of this outfit.
had a very, very pleasant swim in the lake full of warm evian apres shooting.
had lunch at a creperie whilst realising i was just a little bitty tired (out of my mind).

god bless avis (almost)
i had made a little 'fuss' last night, when the new car avis hired us blew up and it took another 4 hours for us to get to the hotel.
i wasn't 'happy' when they told me i needed to take taxis for the rest of my 28hr trip and that they'd reinburse me.
so at 8am another car was delivered to the hotel.
a subaru legacy estate...which was ok and it didn't blow up which was a definite bonus.
sped back to geneva along the new a41 with the same stupid sat nav telling us that we were driving through countryside on roads that didn't exist and to turn around.
(old sat nav: new road: no wonder we had some issues finding our way yesterday: thankyou avis).

back to blighty
flew back homeward after offending lord hamilton who could not believe that he is 'obviously gay'.
got back in time to drive through a (big for britain) thunder storm.
minutes after i arrived at farm, the power was knocked out.
lit candles and enjoyed imagining life on the farm sans electricity.
passed out fast in the low light.
night night.
