Okay first full day without Mia or the kids in the house. What did I do. Not a great deal. But then that was the plan. I'm having Matt and Ali Kelland and their kids over tomorrow to eat Puerco Pibil and cook for them to make up for the like 118 times they cooked for me when I was living on my own and subsequently. I owe them big time and this is just a small payment on account.

So I gathered the spices together and ground them, and made a list of ingredients I didn't have, and whipped down to ASDA to get them. One of the main things I didn't have was an ASSLOAD of pork to roast. But the recipe calls for 5lbs of pork, and ASDA only marks weights in Kgs. Balls. I'll have to get the meat tomorrow.

But I watched a bunch of Hammer horror movies tonight and punched out the first 11 pages of script. Not bad for what amounts to only about two to three hours work. On that score it should only take around 24-36 hours to write 120 pages? S'yeah, and flying monkeys might launch out of my arse. I'll be lucky to get half of it down before everyone comes back on the 2nd. But that will be enough to show people, and do readings for the main characters, so no bad thing. I'll be happy with making 60 pages.

Loving Ingrid Pitt's work in "Vampire Lovers" though. She was so curvy and lovely in those days. I met her a few times at fan events and she's still very beautiful, although obviously a lot more mature. I met Valerie Leon at the same do and she's still gorgeous too. Which reminds me I must watch "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" again.
