We had fun yesterday afternoon, wyndancyr took a whole load of engagement photos of us, first at a boardwalk in Eastern Passage where it was very cold and windy and later in a little park by a lake in town which was much nicer. there were one or two "out takes" that are going to be funny and am looking forward to seeing the end result. It was a dull day out mostly though the sun did peek in a bit later. I wore my red coat so the photos would have some bright colour but i needn't have bothered fixing my hair up. The wind sorted that for me ;)

Later over to Mom's where she had a lovely roast beast meal for us. mmmmmmmmmmm and Panacotta for dessert!

Laurie and Rick came over a bit later and we played a rousing game of trivial pursuit where i kicked collective ass :)

Oh yes, I got an email from the theatre in Saint John. They were able to resell the tickets so i shall get a refund! Rar!

Ok. Gra's out of the shower. We're going to do a big fry up for breakfast. Toodles!

Looking back, every time we've gone to a movie while gramie_dee has been here, including last visit, it's been raining. It rained again today. We went to see 300, the movie based on a graphic novel about the Spartans fighthing the Persians. About an hour and 20 minutes into the movie, it stopped suddenly and the emergency lights came on. Power cut. We were asked to sit tight for a bit and turned out that a car had crashed into a power pole and the power wouldn't be on soon. Each of the theatres in the complex was "evacuated" one at a time and every one was given free passes and discount vouchers for concessions for another time. Will have to go see it this week to see how it ends. It's bloody and violent but in an almost comic book kind of way. All the various big, bad, warriors from the opposing Persian army started to get a bit silly when one guy had blades for hands and there was a huge armed Rhino that a Spartan took down with one spear to the eye. lol! The warrior elephants were just daft and fell over a cliff. Anyway it was ok, and we will go again this week to see the ending.

Off for a Chinese meal after that. The place i was going to suggest was also affected by the power cut so we went to my favourite, Fan's, at the Shannon Park plaza. Mmmmmmmm.... Had one particularly nice dish, sweet and sour shrimp with pineapple and tomato and onion and it was served on a piece of pineapple hull. Quite tasty.

Back to base for the evening.

Out takes

Here's a few outtakes from the photo shoot yesterday.

And Adam kindly took a few photos with my camera while Wyn worked. These were two of my favourites that he took.
