Yeah, so we ate Bert. But I believe that he has cousins available at the bakery.
Also, the snow eased enough yesterday to allow us to go tubing. Because our combined weight was so great (thanks to Burt) we shot past all the safety barriers and nearly hit the wall at the end of the run. Good fun.
No plaid suited youth have attempted to eat us because the village has wisely laid in quite a lot of supplies. But we are on the lookout for signs that people have run out of hotdogs and cream puffs and will take evasive maneuvers accordingly.
I’ve decided that Silverstar should be renamed Thirty-dollar-Star. Every time we leave our room we spend a minimum of thirty dollars. Go out for coffee and a pastry: thirty dollars. Buy a new toque: thirty dollars. Cross country ski pass: thirty dollars. Today I’m going to go wander around with only twenty dollars in my pocket and see whether I’m approached by someone in a supervisory position.
Last night we watched Waitress, written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. It was amazing. Sweet and funny and perfectly cast (Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines) it joins my list of top romantic movies. Adrienne Shelly also starred in my all-time favourite movie, The Unbelievable Truth. She died before Waitress was released. I can only imagine the movies she would have gone on to make. If you get a chance, watch it this holiday…
