Filming and Chie's Aunts

I spent a large chunk of the daytime today being filmed for an internal corporate video. It's the first time I've ever been filmed by a professional film crew, and it was an interesting experience. Even though it was just an internal video the production standards were very high, and I spent a lot of time just sitting around waiting for various bits of equipment to be set up or adjusted.

Once filming finally began it was surprisingly intimidating - I had a big light shining at me, and kept being told to "act natural" whilst simultaneously being told not to move my arms, legs, or head. I don't think I'll be giving up the day job.

Chie's aunts arrived in London this evening from Japan, for a typically Japanese lightning visit (they'd just be staying for three nights). As they'd only just arrived they stipulated they didn't want to go far from their hotel in the Gloucester Road area, and so we had a slightly underwhelming dinner at a nearby pub. Still, I suppose it was all new and "exotic" for them.
