After idiotically missing the lecture this morning (I really have to be more careful reading schedules) I headed out to Peckham to meet my group.
We met with the head honchos at Elim house (the old people's home) to see if they were on board with us filming them. Hopes were high, but we (Bhav in particular) were also aware that they could deny us.
The outcome: we will hear in a week whether anyone in the home is interested. All we can do until then is cross our fingers.
Downtrodden, we decided that we NEEDED more from this visit. Firstly to have something to show for tomorrow's assesment, secondly to explore other options in case Elim's answer was a no, and thirdly to boost our group's self esteem.
Literally sitting on a curb, thinking about what to do next, Emma spotted this card:
She said- I bet the other side of that card is a eight of diamonds. If it is, then we'll be ok and Elim will say yes, our project will be amazing, we'll all be rich and famous and ride ponys into the sunset! Well, she said something to that effect, at least.
I flipped the card over with my boot, as I was afraid that it was riddled with disease.
Behold! An ace of spades!
I don't know if this silly "sign" really meant anything, but at least it got us laughing again. After re-fueling with some McD's, we ran into a traffic warden and interviewed him briefly.
Then we went to visit our friend Jamil over at the car park, and got some footage of him. We proposed that we film him on a saturday working the car park, and got him to agree to ask his friend who worked sundays if he would be up for it as well.
Sadly, the guy who runs Nimba shipping wasn't in, but we did get a phone call in, and are going to arrange to meet with him soon.
