Patterson's, Jean Coutou and more....

After lots of admin work at the Bridge street cafe this afternoon we hit up the local Sally Anne and it was 50% off! A few good finds! Mel (not able to second hand shop due to extreme allergies...see previous posts) and little T (Tania) walked home through Waterfowl park instead. They saw waterfowl - 2 ducks, muskrats and bull rushes. There are mysterious skinny birch tree sticks just stuck into the ground all over the place here....we're on it and will let you know why as soon as we solve the mystery.
We then stopped back at the Coastal Inn for some quick modern and jazz combo "hotel choreography" (between the bed and tv) in prep for the workshop with the Mount Allison Dance Society. Then...we found it.....Patterson's. Oh yeah baby. The best diner food haven ever. The fish and chips was more than Saragan could handle. Sa finally satisfied her unstoppable hunger with some jalapeno slammers, a haddock dinner and an old fashioned milk-shake. Mel was really disappointed that she didn't realize you could get breakfast all day, so we'll be heading back there for an after class brunch.
After dinner we took a stroll to Jean Coutou for some candies and spa treatment face masks (anti-aging for the old hags - Saragan, Sa and myself, and moisture treatment for the young ones). Then we were off to Mount A dance studio to teach a workshop for the Dance Society. We had a great turnout of about 25 women. Mel taught a modern class (cunningham technique)....highlights include her elaborate "you're underwater and a fisherman catches your chest with hook and starts to reel you up" image for doing a high lift properly. I taught a jazz combo at the end of class. Such a great group of ladies!

We ended a great day with our spa treatment face masks (slightly gluey, but nice). Thursday is tech day and Sarg and Tom are on their way here.....more to come as we prep for the show!
