Fishfest last weekend...Sunday story
This one's not as exciting :S
Kat came over around 10am, then we headed to the Legion for brunch. $6 got us a plate of scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausages, hashbrowns, & toast, as well as fruit, juice & coffee. The food was actually very good – unlike other times that you could get cheap eggs, etc. I was talking to the woman beside me, and telling her that I was living in Port Dover for the summer – so she asked what I was doing, etc. I told her it was a good summer, where I got home from work at 4pm, and hit the beach. To which she said she was surprised I didn’t have a better tan. WTF? This is probably the best tan I’ve ever had – I’m usually pasty white! But the food was tasty!
Afterwards, we chilled at my place for a bit, then Kat left as she was heading back to Mississauga for the day. I was tired, but I wanted to see the cardboard races, so I decided to check them out, then was thinking of coming back for a nap. Cardboard boat races: exactly what it sounds like. People making large boats out of boxes & they had to race them (ie they were in the boats & paddling) It was pretty amusing…there were some that disintegrated as soon as they hit the water, and there were some that lasted quite a long time. After the races were over, the boats that were still standing – the owners fought each other with those water noodles to destroy the rest of the boats. Was pretty amusing :)
After the races, I wandered down the beach, then went to the bank & home for a bit. Grabbed a blanket & book & swimsuit & snack food & juice & went to the beach – sat outside of the fenced area to read & listen to the music. “Colour Quest” was playing – they were Caribbean sounding…not bad, but not my favourite band from the weekend. Stuck around for awhile – watched some of the “Port Dover Survivor,” then Colour Quest finished their set, so I went home again for about 45 minutes. On my walk back, a car suddenly stops & a guy calls to me. At first I actually thought it was Neil from Friday night, but then he re-introduced himself (b/c he also couldn’t remember my name) and it was Ivan – the creepy guy from the beach last week! LOL…of course, I realize who he is *after* I’m in the car. Nothing happened though – he wanted to go for either a ride or walk – I would have been cool with a walk & hanging with him at the stage. But no parking spot, so I was only in the car less than 5 minutes. He dropped me off, and told me that if I wanted, I should come visit them on the boat that night. I said we’ll see – I was pretty tired :wink: Went back to the stage for “Patio Dave and the Lanterns.” They weren’t bad – kind of a bluesy/jazzy sound. Did a bluesy version of “Can’t buy me Love” by the Beatles which I thought was cool-sounding. I was just chilling for the music, eating sunflower seeds – there was this 3 year old boy who asked me a couple times what I was eating. He wanted some, but his mom wouldn’t let him (I would have given him some if his mom was ok with it, but I don’t know if a 3 year old should be eating them!) So the kid kept wanting to eat my shells that I dropped on the sand. It was cute.
Then there were the closing ceremonies, where the mayor of PD announced that next year, there might be a different face of FishFest, b/c it’s getting hard to get people to organize it. Which is too bad, b/c it was a good time. If I lived in Dover all the time, and wasn’t in school, I would volunteer to help organize. On my way out, I ran into Neil, who was working the beer stand again. Chatted to him for a bit – didn’t feel as bad about Friday night. He was working till 7pm, and gave me his number if I wanted to do something that night or anytime. Which I might use sometime. I said I’d call him sometime. Then I went home & chilled the rest of the night – it was a good weekend, but I was fun.
Back to Ivan though – when Drew & Ashlee were here the other night, we were playing Frisbee & he was there again. So he asked to join our game, which was fine. When we all got out, he came to where we were sitting, and asked where we lived & he would bring a bottle of booze over later. I simply said that “we didn’t know what we were up to, and we may not want to hang out – if we did want to do something, we’d come find his boat.” I think he got the picture, and left. Lucas said later that he gives him respect for not staying around at that point, but he had a problem with him asking where we lived (he did that the first time we met him within 2 minutes!)
B/c of Ivan, Neil & Troy, Ashlee joked to me the other day, saying “Jill, for someone who doesn’t sleep around, you sure are popular around Port Dover, getting to know a lot of people!” I wouldn’t say *popular*, but it was funny :D
