Wedding Ring

I realize more than ever that my film is about mum in this house and that I must film and photograph as much as I can and set up properly. I don’t have a lot of time. I haven’t heard from the pro bono video stuff and now that Alex is going away, I will have to think of something else to get down to London.

I’m promoting my new website on social media. I am listening to Music Vine for great soundtracks to my short films.

I remember when mum’s wedding ring fell off her finger. Or rather, I found it on the bathroom floor by the toilet. She didn’t even know it had gone and this had been on her finger since she got married in 1954. It was yet another symbolic event of her life with dementia. The symbol of her as a wife who married to have children and she was wife and mother and that ring represented that, that was her identity and it had fallen, forgotten on the bathroom floor by the toilet. 


Mum is in wandering mode and won’t stop getting up. Tried to give her fish fingers and she got up six times and I had to bring her back to her chair again. She will go to bed in a moment. It’s just after six. Trying to make her eat. I am looking at my camera kit bag to see what’s in it and go through it.


Testing out the Lavalier microphone and it’s great. I used it on my cell phone and then on my Canon 5D MK11 and the latter especially was crisp and clear.
