It's been a fun couple of days all round really.
Yesterday a spur of the moment saw us spend an hour or so in Boscombe looking at some art instillations for a fringe arts festival. We stopped first at The Crooked Book and was called Bourne Identity. It was a lovely piece of art but sadly it wasn't lit up - the girl could not get it working. It was a painting of lots of famous people all with connections to Bournemouth - some of them I had no idea about like Gareth Malone.
We then walked - in the surprisingly chilly dampness - to see What Lies beneath which was fascinating and very creative. The artist was lovely and was able to explain it to us, as it was a little beyond me!
This morning Nigel had a mad mercy dash over to his Mom's. I think what people don't realise is how often he has to do things like that and how often lans we have are dashed because he is needed. As it happened we were still able to use the cinema tickets we had booked to see Avengers Infinity War. Nigel was not looking forward to it at all. He really is not a Marvel boy. I have to say I didn't think I was a Marvel girl, but I have loved the films I have seen over the past year - Guardians of the Galaxy 2 being my favourite. I really enjoyed the film (no spoilers here) and Nigel thought it was OK. I laughed out loud a fair few times and it was all action.
I also went to the doctors and they are sending me for an xray on my knee which is NOT what I wanted. It appears it is possibly quite bad inside and accounts for the swelling and pain. Me - I am just glad it wasn't a DVT which was what I feared.
I have some new scrapping to share ... I wanted to record our visit to Auschwitz - not in a celebratory way but because it is part of our story and part of us. I found it very very hard to scrap.
This second page resonated as there was the commandants house where his children played right by the barbed wire into the camp and it was so poignantly like the book.
Today I am thankful for
- a kind doctor
- a great film
- a mercy mission completed
