possun jäämäki



I have to say if I was Piggy I'd be a little disgruntled about being the butt of everything and indeed so often the star character but my name's not in the strip and the ostensible protagonists don't do much except look on with their mouths open as I do staggeringly jackass feats. On the other hand he's obviously a bit of a dick.

cooling berry soup

 






heating up

I had a very interesting talk this morning in Thornbury with a tv production designer whose name I won't mention here but who gave me a lot of great insight into the way tv shows are conceived. I then had a bit of a walk to try and get out of Thornbury and to the SLV. It's heating up. It's that time of the year where I had to keep switching between my sunglasses and my ordinary glasses. Even with the sunglasses sometimes it was too bright to really see. Also, jumper on, jumper off. It's a big hassling drag. But they say it's going to be hotter this summer than anyone now living can recall. So that's not good.

gerard kennedy on acropolis now

There are a lot of great guest stars in Acropolis Now. I'm particularly taken by Gerard Kennedy here as Savas Papasavas, one of the greek waiters in the union of greek waiters. 


It's not a huge part, which makes it all the more interesting and fun. He has good scenes with Effie includes when he sleazes on to her.
