So I have survived the four days of filming on the beach. It was hard, but I managed it ;o) Actually it wasn't as good as we'd expected at first, as there was rain and wind and not much sun. But yesterday the sun came out and everyone seemed to gel, as the 60 or so people we'd had previously had been reduced down to a select 30 who were considered to be good workers. There was volleyball, there was football, there was frisbee, there was a lot of eating, and there was a bit of working in there too. I lay on the grass for an hour and a half watching people play volleyball and got paid for it. So I can't complain.

As an added bonus, I got told when I signed on in the morning that I had been put "on permit" which means that they thought I was good at working and took directions well, and as a thankyou they'd put me on Union wages for the day. So instead of getting $9.50 per hour, I got around $20 per hour. Which is always good!

I also got asked for my phone number by a very cute young man, who hopefully will be phoning me some time in the next few days :o) although he lives in Maple Ridge which is about an hour and a half away, so it might be hard to see him a lot. But hey, no-one's ever asked for my number before until I've known them for months and months, so it's a whole new experience for me.

And now, on to the task of scheduling volunteers for the Sea Vancouver festival next week.... when no-one wants to work.....fun!!
