CTV Kitchener News

It's been a day! Some things I'd like to have a chance to do over . . . to correct, while some things I'd like to do over for sheer joy!
First thing in the morning we headed back to Kathy's house and took over her kitchen . . . taking two hours of preparation for what would take five minutes to air.
 
At the studio we were ushered into a dark, cool room with a kitchenette on wheels and proceeded to set up. The producer came by to check on what would be happening and the weatherman came by to talk things through with us before doing his weather report.
And before we knew it, the kitchen got wheeled into the show room and, like sheep, we followed the crew.
Turned out the weatherman wanted to mix the noodles . . . good thing the dough was not really needed.

Next thing, I almost drizzled icing all over his sleeve as he went to tilt the plate of berry scones . . . and attempted in vain not to sound nervous. Funny, the things I learned about myself. Who IS that person talking, anyways?

The best part was the fun back in the cool room after the taping  . . . Kathy had hidden in the shadows to observe and joined us for a much more relaxed pose.



After the News Hour, CTV staff came in to sample the soup and scones. Very fun!

We packed up and got back in the car, lighthearted and ready for the road. Our GPS lady was put to the test ... sometimes doubted . . . possibly accused of leading us astray . . . yet thanked . . . as we checked into a Comfort Inn for the night.
