Bollywood comes to town
A Bollywood movie is being filmed in Adelaide. Alright, partly in Adelaide.

Ata watched some of the filmic action from a bus. The leading lady was excruciatingly beautiful, the leading man suitably dashing, and the supporting actors were identifiable by being (a) suave and (b) a head shorter than the leading man. The crew looked like... well... crew.

At any rate, it was quite an event, with police required to control traffic flow around the set and pedestrians wandering through at inconvenient moments. A temporary bus stop had been set up as the shooting was happening around the actual bus stop. A number of people, however, managed to not notice the very prominent sign attached to the bus stop pole that specified the location of the temporary bus stop - 30 meters away - and had to be redirected by the increasingly exasperated crew.

On an only slightly related note, Ata was Late to the job she was doing today, and as a result has almost crippled herself by running in her fairly-new heeled boots. Whilst they are alright to walk in, running is apparently a different story. There is a rubbed-raw patch on her right big toe the size of her little fingertip, and the other foot has a matching blister that - as yet - is still covered by intact skin. Ow ow ow. Ata had to stop at the supermarket for some food on the way home (otherwise there would only be leftover pizza and tinned baked beans for tea), but she had taken her shoes off in the car and could not bring herself to put them back on. So it was barefoot into the supermarket, with neon-coloured bandaids wrapped around four toes. And pant cuffs just long enough to get wet on the damp concrete outside.

    Blisters!
    Will this affect Ata's planned big day out alone at the Show?

    NO!

    That cannot happen.

    Ata will go on Saturday - the last day of the Show. Time enough for some recovery.

    And besides, the blisters are on the top of the toes - so different shoes will make a big improvement.
