1 May 2026.
Good morning.
It is 2:35 am.
I'm in the the study, I have my coffee and I'm looking through the window at the dark.
In an hour or so, we'll be making the trip down the M1 to Luton Airport.
We are on the 10:25 am flight out to Larnaca
May is my favourite time of year in Cyprus. You have the sun, but not its intensity like over the following three months.
April was a good month for the project as I made lots of decisions. The style of cinematography for one. I've also started creating 2D characters - extras, and have done 126 over the last two days.
To properly fully populate the bars, shops, restaurants, schools and streets I reckon that I'll need around 3,000 extra's, so - it's going to be quite a time consuming process - and one which will take up a lot of memory on the computer system, as just one character (head and shoulders) weighs in at between 17 and 20 MB.
It's quite an interesting process.
In a few months, it'll be a case of me trawling the pubs in the UK and Cyprus with the Canon EOS and taking headshots of different people who I know.
Anyway, that's in the future.
The script will hopefully be hammered this week.
I reconstructed the setup of the story on the website.
Hit either button 1 or 2 and it will take you directly to either, although the Series 2 episode images are a work in progress.
Opposite, is the new image for Episode 13: A Carrier Bag Full of Secrets.
Whilst writing it, it was possibly my favourite episode, as the emotion in that scene felt real.
Mason came to pick up his daughter and bang!
She initially lashes out at him and he has that to deal with... the next bit, however, is quite heart-wrenching...
But that's in the future...
I have also added another song to the music player / widget.
