Hello hello, is there anybody out there ? Ok that's enough with taking lines for songs, is blog is about movies but how I would do a musical I have no idea :)
So what has happened to Nickel & Dime you ask ? or maybe you don't & that's ok but if you decide to read this post I'm going to tell you, so you can't say I didn't warn you. A couple of years back the good lady wife & I decided we would leave one Ireland for another island, that other island been Lanzarote. Now the complete telling of that tale I'm not going to tell, but all did not go as should have & it meant we didn't make the move until about a year after we had planned.
Now as everybody knows in this hobby you accumulate a lot of stuff over the years & moving from a 3 bed house to a, what was at the time meant to be a 1 bed apartment meant some hard choices had to be made & were, so while some of the stars of N&D were kept under contract others were not, but the same could not be said for the sets needed for making movies, so they didn't make the trip sadly.
Something I found is this hobby over the years, is you sometimes will be cash rich & time poor, or cash poor & time rich, as I have now retired from stealing a living (working might be to strong a word :) I now find myself in the cash poor time rich stage. What that means is that Nickel & Dime from this point on is very much going to live up to its name, but who doesn't like a challenge ?
What lies ahead ? well N&D is a long way from making movies that for sure, it does have to make sets & hopefully you good folk will follow a long as we set about the rebuild & who knows ( I don't ) but you might even learn something useful along the way. Also as it turns out we got a 2 bed apartment so that gives a bit more room for my hobby, now if only I'd known that would be the case, but as the song goes sara sara what will be will be :) & there I will leave it for this post.
As always my thanks for dropping in & if you would care to leave a comment it would be welcomed.
Good luck with your new venture in a new location!
ReplyDeleteWhile it might be a challenge on more limited funds and limited space, I find that limitations can also spark creativity. I'll look forward to see what happens with N&D. :)
Thanks Fitz, I hope your right mate as there are going to be a lot of limitations :(
ReplyDeleteWelcome back... as I am in the violent throes of a CashRich/Time Non-Existent phase, I can completely relate
ReplyDeleteThanks Will, yep that always seems be the way of it.
DeleteWell that explains a lot Frank, Lanzarote eh, it's funny because I told you we had planned to go to Ireland in September and with one thing and another didn't make it. Well in December we planned to go to Lanzarote. It's Mrs V's birthday in December but she decided in the end she couldn't be bothered with flying for a weeks holiday and so we're going to Scotland, Galloway and Dumfries to be precise. How coincidentally scary is that.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have to be firm with Mrs Frank, firm but nice as well. You need that 2nd bedroom more than she does, you know it will only get filled with freeloaders looking for a cheap holiday in the sun, family, friends, those sorts of freeloaders.
Well done mate and I hope you're enjoying the sunshine.
Oh and don't expect me to see you've posted something because there's no one still blogging that I followed and so I don't look there anymore. :)
Cheers
Thanks John, I guess we're just destined to never meet up lol, enjoy your trip to Scotland 7 the wind, rain, snow, cold, are you sure you can't talk Mrs V into flying ? :)
ReplyDeleteAs for you not knowing if I post something, well there are way I can use to let you know :)
Good to hear that you are finally where you want to be, and great that you have more space than expected, I for one very much look forward to seeing your new set builds, and seeing which stars were retained for your upcoming movies, and which were released from their contracts ! LOL Hope you are enjoying the better weather, and retirement, and hope you are well, and enjoying yourself.
