It’s Alfie here. I’m back after a weekend of concluding I’m never going to make a film director, but more of that in a moment. I thought I’d show you the photo I got from my girlfriend Bella when she opened her Valentine card from me. She’s looking pretty pleased with it, don’t you think? Isn’t she beautiful? Well I think so anyway, even though I’m being teased by Aristotle.
Mind you, he’s the reason I’m never likely to be a film directory. He’s got too many of his own ideas of how things should be done. All I want is for him to follow his script. Yes I know he might think it degrading to have to wear and Apron, but if that’s what the script calls for then that is what he has to do. He said he wanted to look a little more rugged, but that’s my job. We can’t all be the stars. Anyway, filming will resume today and we’ll see if he is any more obliging. I’ve got deadlines to meet and editing to do. It’s not good him wanting to play the prima donna, it’s not that sort of production. I guess if we can make a success of this one then we could try something a little more adventurous, but I’m not sure my Mistress will really want to do that.
I am proud to say I’m starting to get the hang of having my teeth cleaned. I’m not terribly obliging at opening my mouth, so the insides aren’t that clean yet, but the outsides are positively sparkling. I went to look in the hall mirror and quite liked the result. My gums don’t bleed now either and it doesn’t feel so strange.
