Forgot to say yesterday I got a wee “borrow box” from Gemma at work. She has a friend who does “Oriflame Sweden” and the borrow box allows you to test out samples at home.

What a lovely idea.

So after my 7 hour and 50 minutes sleep… I had a wee pamper this morning. I used lotions and potions that I’d never normally use, I’m more a “rinse my face in the shower” kinda girl. I may have a few two many oils and primers on in one go but hey… I enjoyed it. Will place a wee order which is the point of it all I guess.

So yeah, good sleep last night. Woke for a half hour at 1 with my mind running but got back to sleep until the alarm.

There was a security guard walking the street this morning as today is the day that shooting will begin in the Gateside Inn. I said “morning, are you still awake?” And he smiled and laughed and said morning back. He directed me out onto the road this morning and it made me smile to have my own traffic co-ordinator. It was funnier as there was only one truck coming but it made me smile. How will I manage next week once he has moved on with his filming crew?

Skip my working day because that was just work….. the village is soooooo exciting tonight! I had to get through the road closure sign and the guy was really rude guesturing up and down to the sign as if I couldn’t see the ROAD CLOSED… I wound down my window and very politely said that I lived next door to the pub… change of heart. 😂 while I was waiting for him to radio through a guy drove out of the village, swearing like a trouper about the road closure. Apparently he’s driven right past the sign and refused to stop…. Hence the attitude I got when I tried the same a few minutes later. There is no reason to be that rude to the poor road closure guy! I’ve realised these days that road closed signs are taken as a challenge…. Getting through no matter what.

So as I drive in to the village it’s full of lorries and location trucks. It’s super exciting. Nothing exciting as this has happened since we all used to meet outside in COVID times. It’s so lovely to have the road closed too. No through traffic!

I got excited when I saw this 1988 style fire engine…. And yet it turns out it’s a real 2024 one 😂😂😂 how daft did I feel?!?

This is in our back garden to house big lights for the pub.

We have a new “old” lamp post attached to our houses.

It’s on…. Using our electricity!!!

So yeah… it’s all good, we are sitting in darkness and trying to peak out the windows and get photos!! Torn between desperate to get that shot and embarrassment!!

So I’m going out with the Hookers on Tour in 15 minutes. We are going the see An Officer and a Gentleman at the Kings Theatre in Glasgow… I NEVER go out at night… so will have to rely on Craig being the Rambling Sloth TV filming correspondent!

Stay safe everyone 🎬📺🎬
