CAFE - the pilot: On July 29, a dream came true for me when we
filmed the pilot of my TV chat show, ‘CAFE’. Produced by Clear Content for
NITV, I was thrilled to be surrounded by close family and friends in the very
intimate setting of the Cruise Bar at Circular Quay in Sydney. I am grateful
not only to those who came to cheer me on, but also my very, very special
guests including the deadly co-captain of the Sydney Swans, Adam Goodes (pictured above),
who entertained us all no end. Also blessing me with their presence was the
dynamic musical duo Microwave Jenny, and the Godfather of Hip Hop Munkimuk. I’m
also grateful to my side-chick Sharnee Fenwick and to my brother Mark who acted
as roving reporting doing vox pops at the Sydney Bay Oyster Bar. Seriously, I
couldn’t have asked for a better line-up to make the pilot. Now we’re in
post-production so I’ll let you all know when it goes to air... until then I
have finger, legs and everything else-crossed, hoping that the show goes into
full production.
CHAISE LONGUE: I like the French term ‘chaise longue’ - no
it’s not a typo – because let’s face it, saying ‘Come join me on the chaise
longue’ sounds much sexier than saying ‘Come join me on the couch!’ I was grateful
for my chaise longue conversations on Cafe!
CHEMISTRY: Not the science chemistry, but the term used to
describe that ‘special feeling’ between two people that simply fancy each
other. Or as my character Libby Cutmore so eloquently put it in Paris Dreaming: ‘I knew it was
chemistry. I could feel the love drugs rushing through my body: the pleasure
chemical dopamine gave that blissful feeling and norepinephrine was causing my
heart to race... I was excited about being physically close to Ames and was
ready to get high on the cocktails swirling through my body...’
CUDDLES: The perfect Sunday activity on the chaise or the couch
or wherever you can get them. I’m especially grateful for cuddles from my
nephews.
CHOCOLATE: No surprises there! I am
always grateful for chocolate and with a birthday approaching I know the pantry
is likely to be chockers (sorry for pun) in the near future!
What ‘C’ words are you grateful for
today???
