Sunday 18 March 2012

Wow....the weekend has flown by. Left Calgary on Friday night and headed west to Vancouver. Weather here unseasonably cool but the green grass and leaves on the trees are refreshing after leaving the brown of Calgary. Kelli met me at the airport and we took the sky train back to her place. Visited until the early hours and made our plans for the weekend. Up early Saturday and worked on the wedding movie! It is great! Geoff and Lindsey have provided us with lots of good material for a good show! Kelli has been a great help. I am pretty good with imovie but she is a wizard and much more proficient than I. It will be nice to have someone to share the blame with when we air the finished product! Headed out to do some shopping in the afternoon and both managed to spend some money. She even bought a pair of shoes and boots which goes to show you I do have some influence over my children. I love buying shoes! Went for Sushi and then she treated me to a comedy show by Brian Regan at The Center for Performing Arts. It was really funny and we spent a couple of hours enjoying many good laughs. This guy had quite the following. Although we were not familiar with him most of the audience appeared to know him well! A fun evening. Came home and crashed.
Sunday we worked a little more on the movie and it is close to finished. Headed down to Granville Island around noon and had a wander around the Market. It is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Had one of the best cups of coffee there that I have had in years. It was absolutely delicious. Headed back home with plans to do a bike ride around the sea wall. It was a little cool and cloudy and we were both procrastinating a little but finally decided to bite the bullet and get a little fresh air and exercise before dinner. The exercise started well before the bike ride however as Kelli's tires were flat and pumping them up proved to be a bit of a workout in itself. Mission accomplished though and off we went and were we ever glad. The sun came out and we had a beautiful ride! Not too many people, fresh sea air and a little sunshine! It was heaven. Stopped and took a few photos before heading home to get ready to go out to one of Kelli and Mike's favourite restaurants, a little Thai Restaurant not far from their place. After a delicious dinner we headed to the movie theatre and took in "Safe House". Not exactly a chick flick! Probably something I would be more likely to watch with Bill than Kelli. It was a Denzel Washington film, action packed and quite violent! A sit on the edge of your seater! Home now and getting ready to hit the sack. It's been a great weekend but has flown by far too fast. Head home tomorrow.

  1. Just to clarify to your online followers....the pumping exercise was rather one-sided as I sweat and mom encouraged. A smart strategy to tire me out so she could beat me around the sea wall!!
