It made for a long day today as I was volunteering for all of the afternoon followed by the Volunteer Dinner. Pro bono, I put together the monthly financial statements for a recycling/recreation/community project group. Bigger than it sounds as there are quite a lot of transactions needing the right pocket to fall into for presentation to council, etc.
The photo above I took in the general area, I drove out a ways on the "arm" (i.e. localese for "bay") and took Ansa for a walk and found this old boat which begged of me a shot. I wanted to lie down and angle a little upwards but the dirt was not accommodating and it wouldn't look well to show up for the din with clay falling off me.
Food was cold plate which always leaves me hungry, don't know why. But a jolly evening, I escaped just before 8 as there were reports of moose gallivanting along the road, released from winter confinement in the hills perhaps.
Right now, I'm boiling up some kidney beans on the woodstove having soaked them for 24 hours. I'm going to make my famous chili and freeze many wee pots of it.
Oh yes, on Friday morning I have a semi-public read-through of my mystery dinner theatre play. I hadn't read it in 6 months as those who commissioned it wintered in Arizona. But now they're back and rearing to go with it. I did a read through by myself this morning and I must say I'm delighted with it.
Usually with such a time lapse I find many flaws with my writing but these characters hold their own and are hysterically funny and the whodunit was a bit of a shocker even to me.{grin}
I love surprising myself and I'm so glad that the project is back on stream.
When will the dinner theater play be put on?
ReplyDeleteTourist season I would think SAW, May/June through Sept maybe Oct. it all takes place in an old convent (with its own graveyard!) now converted into an inn. I mentioned it to some people along my travels far around here and I can't believe the mad excitement about it :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pile of fun anyway :)

I would love to attend another of your productions, but the bus would not get me there on time. Break a leg, in the theatrical sense, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your mystery play!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd love to have you there, GM, this is a real fun one involving bishops and nuns.

Cold plates never satisfy me either.
