Love and Fame
Jul. 12th, 2010 08:31 amToday is our First Face Day! (happy FFD Sweetie! xoxoxoxox) The anniversary of the day we met face to face. this is the quote from a post where i described it:
"I did get there after 1 and saw him right away waiting where he said he would be. But just as he would have spotted me and my luggage, some tourists asked him a quesiton and he turned away. Damn, i didn't want to be 6 inches away when he first saw me so i held back a minute then was about 10 feet away when we made eye contact. Then it was like something out of a movie with us clutching on to one another in the midst of a busy train station, everything really did seem to fade away around us! I just could hardly believe i was there and he was there and ... oh ... wow..."
One of the two harbour bridges was closed all weekend while they were working on it. Apparently it was supposed to reopen at 5 this morning but didn't until about 7, which was just when i got my bus. As a result there was a huge amount of traffic heading towards the other bridge, which is the one my bus usually takes. We sat in traffic for ages just trying to get to the bridge but once on, it went pretty quickly. meanwhile the rain was coming down in sheets! It also rained most of yesterday but at least it's cooled off a bit.
I went out after work on Friday to Fishermen's Cove, a little community in Dartmouth where there is a good restaurant. I went with a friend who's birthday was Saturday and we had a nice meal. We walked around the area for a bit after, taking photos of the fishing village and looking in the craft shops. This photo is one of my favourites. It's looking down into the water at the edge of the wharf, you can see the lichens and a snail on the post. The other ones i took are here.
Saturday i did a lot of housework in preparation for a film crew coming to my house next Sunday! I've been involved with the people making a documentary about why Coronation Street is so popular with Canadian fans (along with lots of other people, not just me!) and they were tickled with the story that i met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gramie_dee in a corrie chat room and are now engaged. They filmed Graham at his flat a couple of weeks go when they were in Manchester filming at Granada Studios and next Sunday is my turn, and as well, they will be filming our ping. I don't know how much of it will make the documentary but there will be a little bit! They also liked that G. is into zombie movies and heavy metal and does a metal radio show for the internet. It makes him a non-typical type of fan in their eyes though because he's British, they wouldn't normally have found or filmed if but the Canadian connection is there :) Anyway yes, they are coming to my place next Sunday i think so i really needed a good tidy up. I still have to run the vac over the floor but i'm pretty much ready for them.
