My attempt at humouring myself was successful. We went to see a Japanese film, Kokuho, at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival. They had staged a red carpet outside the theatre for selfie pics. Being part of the film industry for so long, I knew where to be in my mind, lol. (Kokuho hit number 1 in Japan this year, and when it comes out in North America in 2026, I recommend it highly!)
In with the new. Had an exceptional day with Junior watching him change his alternator. (No, seriously!)
He did it with very little coaching from me, a proud moment for both of us. (Lol, not sure where he got his mechanical aptitude from.)
Ya, own it! (or at least return it to Lordco for your core charge refund)
Out with the old.........
Before we rewarded ourselves with a pint, I watched Junior show his bow prowess at the range in Burnaby.......
Very impressive again, he had similar results all the rounds I watched.
That following week-end it was time to go check it out again. (Meaning a trip back to Vancouver Island, this time back to Parksville.)
Could this be it?
The many, many bunnies seem to think Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park IS it.
Not sure what I was going for in this one......
Well, I think a 13 minute walk from our hotel was a no-brainer.
All that ambivalence makes one awfully thirsty. Thank-you Rod and Gun!
......and the food was a nice chaser.........
Well, if you're going to live anywhere, you better get used to the not so nice days.....(This was our commute from Parksville up to Comox.)
Very peaceful, though......
......albeit chilly.
The, I always love them, the Comox Marina, marina pic.
Took a small hike on the Nob Hill Staircase to get a better look around Goose Spit Park in Comox. (I can see my truck!)
Yay, a heron!
As usual, the week-end went by so fast, and soon enough we were in a line for an early morning ferry at Duke Point in Nanaimo.
....back on the Mainland, the mandatory, check-out at Walmart, pic of our pic, pic.
I been taking my ambivalence with me on many walks these days, like Deer Lake trail in Burnaby.
Lose that Mt. Baker view? (One way or another, construction or moving.)
More time these days to be at home and enjoy Ritsue's cooking, like these scrumptious dumplings.
Well, I'm sure whichever team this is, facing the Lillian Way Briar University Hockey team, this must be there star player, lol.
Absolute blast from the past. I was looking for a picture of my dad in uniform for Remembrance Day, when I came across these oldies but goodies. That's my dad with a young me, and later my mom with a wet me way back in 1959 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia where he was stationed at the time.
Okay, I'll keep it to a couple. This one is with mom, like yesterday.
