Rain all day - give or take! Woke up to hear rain & it's managed to keep goin! Inside looking out so quite evocative! Grey & meaningful!

Had a great Easter & just taking breath before work tomorrow!

Jogging this morning then back to bed! When woke up sun had disappeared and it was snowing! Now tidying, well have to do it every so often!

Life drawing tonight. While since I had a proper draw & really enjoyed it. Would like to try & sort something Saturday -will have to see!

Work going through a demanding phase. Lots to do & need to fit much in before the end of March. So...will do best & fit in some fun things to make it a bit easier

Quiet few days so far as internet concerned as daughters have been busy posting. Meant to be out tonight but friend cancelled. Work busy, but extracurricular good. Had whole evening in on own with beloved last night!

watched "Runaway Jury" - love John Grisham's writing!

Slow out of bed this morning and time to talk about next expedition (or not rather!). We've had our bit of Grand Tour and now see how we can put things into practice just how we do things. Learning about being slower, seeing how different people do things, taking time to look, not being caught uip in small area/work where we are...taking time to smell the coffee, notice who's around us, realise the next deadline is not the only thing...

Unless something else comes up!!!!

End of busy week! Now a nice evening in! Very cold outside!

Off to Krakow tomorrow!! Old buildings, culture, big squares, cheap(er) food! ANd an adventure!

Wet morning - just the best for curling up with book!

Birthday today and crosiiassants for breakfast!

Eldest daughter may be studying in Italy for term!! Very short notice!!! but exciting too!

Brick Lane curry festival today - nice wander plus a nice take away curry which we ate sitting on step! Loads of people & loads of atmosphere. As good as a holiday abroad!

Youth service at church which was good!

Now a rest before work tomorrow

Good evening at church! Nice weekend full stop. Managed a morning mooch in Tate Modern on Saturday - now going to look at notes I made!!

Not had much time to post, but happily busy!!! Good Bank Holiday weekend - Kew Gardens which was fun!

Nice evening in - friend bought us some red wine & another friend donated some curry when made too much, & topped off by good coffee & a sweet sweet. Yum!

Life drawing last Saturday -lovely model & even had time to draw in between making coffee & welcoming. Want to do some more!!

Back from Ireland. Little wet but good fun!!

Artist friend staying, daughters coming & going, back to work tomorrow! What awaits?

Lots of good art- saw work by Sidney Noaln an artist from Australia, which was a series re Ned Kelly & really fascinating. Went to reunion of wife's family as well which my family would struggle to do as hardly keep in touch! Irish seem to do these things better

Youngest daughter went out with older ones so we were free to go out ourselves. Went to church service - talking about doing the impossible in faith!

Nice wedding yesterday. Bride only 18 & groom a little older but they both looked ready for the commitment & good together! Then went to Tate Modern with beloved to see Dali Exhibition. Better than expected. Amazed by the accuracy of small figures in paintings & enjoyed (most) of the films on show - and liked the big empty spaces.

Talked about our next outing - beloved suggested Krakow but I wondered about another trip to Budapest. Heatwave in parts of Eastern Europe at moment - apparentl;y 40 degrees in Budapest on Friday. 41.7 in Eastern part of Hungary.

P.S.Funny dreams last night so don't know that is related to Dali!!

Chopping bits off tree in back garden, reading & sipping some of what remains of my Hungarian Unicum! Now off to meet Beloved from train

Saw Shrek 3 last night with couple of daughters last night. Not as good as previous but like animation - and two or three of jokes up to bext standard!!!

Walk in Ladywell Park afterwards with Beloved. Lovely clear skies. Had a look at glass scuplture in grounds of Lewisham Hospital. http://www.nationalglasscentre.com/studio.php?t=3&o=12 Third one down by Chris Marshall. A symbol of healing flowing.
