DianaRolling Boys' Toys....
April 3rd 2008 22:41
Back to the film set yesterday.
Watching all the men cluster around their 'boy toys' of cameras, mikes and bits n pieces, spending ages and ages doing single 'takes' made me think they were just a lot of boys fiddling around and wasting time and being self-important.
The few mothers watching on the sidelines said yes, there was a fair bit of time-wasting and male-bonding chat going on in between 'takes'.
Fascinating stuff.
There is also a fair bit of of 'posing' behaviour that goes on in the film world: tall young men with shaved heads or unusual hair-styles, sporting Western cow-boy hats and thick padded jackets stalk around talking into special walkie-talkies, herding groups of kids here and there.
Women (naturally) were in subservient roles of wardrobe, make-up or 'gophers', while the males strut around barking instructions, beating their chests and doing important stuff, such as yelling Rolling', 'Action' and 'Cut!'.
It was all very interesting.
And no. We did not see Nick Cage..........
As far as the lamb 'Rose' goes, we are now having to cart her around with us when she is not being fed, cos she bleats so badly if left alone.
Controlled-crying for lambs? We have not ruled out this option......

You can wean the lamb off milk replacer at about four weeks of age, providing the lamb is eating some solid food, and is doing well.
It is recommended to vaccinate lambs at around 4-8 weeks of age against clostridial diseases (e.g. enterotoxaemia) especially if they did not receive colostrum. Follow this with a booster 3 weeks later.
Scours are often caused by unhygienic feeding and living conditions, high or low environmental temperatures, or inappropriate feed. Scour medications can often be obtained over-the-counter from your veterinary clinic, but if the lamb stops eating or seems weak, it is recommended to consult your veterinarian.
Sheep are flock animals and need at least one companion and unless they have constant contact with humans do not always make good pets once fully grown. They also need prevention and treatment for a variety of internal and external parasites, and need to be shorn at least once a year.
