We're growing a forest
Another general call for extras popped up, so I updated my photos. The details of the Thing to be Filmed are very scant, but surfing and board shorts were mentioned, as in: Can you surf and do you have a problem with appearing in board shorts? No, and no, though I'm a confident ocean swimmer, so hopefully that works in my favour! I decided to dress in what appeared to be the desired garments and now we wait to see if they want one of those this time! Be warned, you will see partially unclad Rattfan if you click the link. Nothing to trigger the Internet censors.

I've done another gardening session with the Swamp volunteers. There's very little in the way of live weeds in my Spot now, so I went to the 'social' session that happens once a month! This time of year, it's watering the young native seedlings [native to this specific area] which have been planted in open ground beside the Swamp, to become a proper forest in a year or so. This will be done fortnightly, not monthly, from now on until the rains come again. It just happened to be the task for what they call the Busy Bees. Sometimes they do other tasks. A dedicated team does the watering on the off fortnight Sunday. The water is brought up by vehicle in a large tank and decanted into watering cans, carried two per person if they have reasonable strength, over the planting area until everyone is watered.
I was supposed to go gaming tonight, but [again!] somebody cancelled and it had to be put off. This is a relatively new social trend, I find, that of the last minute cancelling. It became very prevalent last year. I suppose I should be grateful that I found out several hours in advance, rather than minutes. When I'm on my way out the door and somebody does it right then, that does piss me off. I think a functioning adult should be able to work out if they want to go to something and if they can fit it in to their schedule, then TURN UP if they have responded in the affirmative, always allowing for sudden death or disablement/illness. Theirs or someone else's.
But hey, that's just me. And I never wanted to be the adult in the room!
