I was delighted to figure out how to get our Beam vacuum working. It is amazing that after years of coping with my favourite vacuum's Sear's canister, which is in need of repair from over use, I managed to get the Beam working. It didn't take much I had pulled out a plug that operates I think a second motor in the vacuum. I don't know why anyone thinks they are easy to operate. it is easy to put the switch on but then you have a hose so huge to drag around the house. I suppose it is all exercise. Housework is certainly a work out. Not one that I can say I actually like. You have to be thankful at lest the cat hair is quelled.
Beach, after a long week on the set I managed to get my partner out for a lunch to my favourite area of the city. Our Beach is not spectacular as it is on a fresh water lake. It is a big lake, however lunch is always pleasant as there are so many restaurants to chose from and three good ones in steps from each other.
The one we chose is in an old house but has nice big windows and a glass fireplace so when the weather is cool we get the nice fireplace to enjoy.
My partner's week was brutal with three very different sets to work on a group of caves, a beach location and a martial arts gym which had two events planned for one day. He normally works with a crew but is on his own at the moment. After lifting and lugging he was happy for a respite. I was happy after choking cat hair and dust to get him to walk down to the beach and sit and enjoy the lake.
The lake did its magic and he rallied enough to walk back up and peruse a few of the shops. His favourite is a organizer shop for the home and office. I hit the bargain clothing shop for with any lucky Christmas gifts. We both manage to agree on our favourite book store. It is a love or hate affair as I hate going in and know I will always find some book I want to bring home. I did a new book on the Bronte sister's of Yorkshire England and Withering Heights fame just one of several.
That was it of our weekend outing. I am not looking forward to the coming week as it is the week before the film crew hit our house on the 22nd. Now I have to find somewhere to hid all our delicate and breakable and a few treasures that is not easy in a house this size with an attic that you can't reach.
Who's idea was this anyway!
Downton Abbey has been sent to me by my son and I have watched five episodes and find it has improved a lot since the first series. It has come to life and each character had their own life. This is all set in the WWI . It is so nice to have great drama to watch and enjoy.
