Spring has sprung
I had a pretty good weekend. Friday night, after a full workout, I headed over to Handworks to meet up with Colin. They had a gallery opening for 'Earthenware' (new works by potter Darren Emenau). Colin and I headed to Taco Pica for supper, and then we went back to my place to watch an episode of Dateline about The Apprentice from last week and then the season finale of The Apprentice (which I missed on Thursday while I was at rehearsal). It was cold and raining on Friday evening, and I was feeling a bit worn out from a long week, so I was happy to spend a quiet evening in.
Saturday morning I worked on my script for a bit and then headed out to rehearsals. I was able to leave a bit early because the two scenes I'm not in were saved for the end of the day. I managed to make it to A-Z Rentals before they closed so I could rent a hammer drill so I could hang my IKEA shelving. I went home and made measurements for hanging my shelving, and spent a bit of time looking at my script again. It was another quiet evening, which was just about all I could handle. I was feeling pretty worn out and I couldn't imagine trying to go out anywhere or be social.
It took me pretty much all of Sunday afternoon to hang my shelving - and boy, am I ever glad it's done! Now all of my CD's and Zip disks have a home - and my floor is once again unobstructed. Colin picked me up around supper time and we headed upriver to hang out with Shannon and Cliff, Bill and Dawn, and Ernie and Nelly and Nancy. Colin has been spending some time up there lately, helping Bill clear some bush. We took a bit of a walk on the property to see the work that's been done. They certainly have been busy! The weather was gorgeous so it was a treat to be able to spend a bit of time outside (especially after having been cooped up all day as I hung shelving). We had a delicious barbecued dinner with chicken and pork chops. Man, there's no substitute for the "Q". I don't have the room for a barbecue at my place. (There is a back fire escape, but the garbage chute is attached to it and there isn't really any room.) For dessert, Nelly was thoughtful enough to make a brandy-pudding cake that was lactose-free so I could have some too. Well, it currently tops my list of favourite desserts EVER! Wow! It is Sophia Lauren's favourite dessert and I can see why!
Alas, it is Monday and it's supposed to rain again today. I hope we have a good summer this year. Not like last year - which had something like 3 weeks straight of rain and gloom in the middle of June. I am pleased that I'm not achey today as I thought I would be. I was sure that using the hammer drill and hanging the shelves would have done a number on me but I feel surprisingly okay. I'm looking forward to rehearsal tonight. Tonight is Blanche and Stella: rough blocking. I hope it goes well. It'll be nice to start moving around. :-)
