Wolf Creek. It’s a 2005 Australian film. And one of the most spine-chilling films I’ve ever seen. So much so that when I watched the DVD – in March 2007 – I could only do it during daylight hours. I usually watch DVDs at night. But Wolf Creek was too scary for that. Much too scary. Not only that, but I couldn’t watch it straight through. I had to do it in a paced manner, i.e. in short bursts. Sweetheart Vivienne’s interview on ABC Radio National’s Life Matters yesterday morning wasn’t scary. At least it wasn’t scary for me streaming it to my laptop computer in my Mole Creek office. Yet I couldn’t sit calmly to hear all 16 minutes of it. I sat. I stood. I wandered around the room. I sat some more. And so on. I don’t know why. Sure I was emotional. I was teary for a good half of it. Partly because my darling beloved came across just right (she’s excellent interview talent). Partly because of the subject matter. And partly because I know, at least I think I do, what it means to her to be a published writer interviewed on national radio. If you haven’t heard the interview yet, you can access it here. Or here. I don’t know if they’ll make a movie of Alzheimers: a Love Story. But if they do, I’ll tell you now I won’t be able to watch it straight through. Though I may be able to watch it at night.

I was the same! I stood, I sat, I laughed, I cried. She's an amazing woman, she is. xx
