The retirement adventure continues. For the past two days, instead of house hunting, C and I had the ultimate knitting, painting and woodworking experience. Imagine getting paid for the things you love to do that don't seem like work. We were hired as skilled background, AKA extras, for a made-for-TV Christmas movie, brought to you by a feel-good channel that, at this point, I can't mention.
The scene was a craft fair in a community hall. We set up and staffed three booths, you guessed it: my knitting, watercolours, and C's bowls. What's it like to be in the background of a real movie? Think 12 hour of: check in, sit, sit, sit, eat, act, sit, eat, sit, sit, act, sit, eat, sit, sit, wrap out, go home. The fact that we brought with us creative skills made it pay well. The food was delicious and the people were interesting. All in all a good experience.
Sorry no pictures. None allowed.
