Filming again

I wasn't feeling well on the weekend so didn't get a whole lot done. But antibiotics have done their job and I'm feeling much better. I did a few little jobs like sweeping off the patio and returning pop cans. I got $23 for them so we decided to go spend it on dinner. I wish I'd had my camera - actually DH did have his in his truck but he didn't tell me that.

We went to a waterside pub and sat outside. There are two restaurants beside each other, one was packed. So we went to the one next door. It was pretty empty but maybe it's because it's a pub so children aren't allowed. We sat outside on their patio which is covered. The sun hadn't gone down yet but at 6:30 in the evening it was so calming to watch the sun gleaming off the water and pleasure boaters just floating around. Can't wait til we can do that too. The food was delicious. Fresh caught Halibut and chips. I'm not supposed to eat potatoes but for some reason during the summer all rules go out the window. Hope I don't damage myself too much.

On the way home we noticed they were setting up to film again. This happens a lot here. It's a small quiet town so not difficult to close off a couple of streets. The sets were so adorable. That's when I found out DH had a camera so I jumped out and took some photos. I should have gotten closer but there you go. My daughter was looking at the pictures last night and said they look like Disney sets like Roger Rabbit. They do actually. The guy guarding wouldn't tell us which move/tv show they were filming. They never do.

One of the buildings they were using is an auto repair shop that renovated a couple of years ago and is just so cute. It fits in with the heritage of the town but also looked so cute as an ice cream parlour.

The next part of the building they used also as an auto place. Notice the A has fallen off and put back in in chalk. The original A was lying on the ground.

Down the street a lawyers office has been changed into a bicycle store

I had intended to go down the next morning when the plastic covering was off the bikes in front but didn't make it. 

And there was the cutest bus stop sign, which unfortunately was washed out from the sun shining on it, but this little kid was sitting on the bench so I took a photo anyway. 

Haven't done any sewing. Yesterday was my busy day of the week. Besides laundry we were totally out of food so I had to go shopping too. Then my daughter came over to do her laundry here. 

Today I need to iron. One problem with summer is that a lot of the clothes are cotton and that means a lot of pressing. I hang things to dry but collars, etc need a little press.  So do pants. I'm also working on sweeping off our patio so we can finally get it power washed. 

Gratitude. It looks like another clear week ahead and the boat is finally, FINALLY, ready to get wet. It will take some practice. DH hasn't steered a boat since the 1960's. But he's just so darn smart when it comes to these things.
