beaver patrol

Mari and I went for a walk tonight, from mum's place on Linwell out to the beach at Port Dalhousie, then back over the pedestrian bridge at Royal Henley Park (odd name, I thought). It was a lovely evening, with perfect temperatures and lovely skies particularly after sunset. I'm very glad I brought my new (used) camera.

As we crossed that long pedestrian bridge we spotted something swimming in the water. "Beaver or muskrat?" I mused, and we watched until it left the water and was clearly a beaver. I pointed it out to a family of four that were right behind us.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
