Snail trail
Up a smidge before noon, having had tea and breakfast in bed. A few bits and pieces around the house, and then Lorraine and I bused into town to go to Marks and Sparks to buy some bits for Janet. Then we walked along the seafront to Hove, where we popped in for an hour. Hus, sleeping in the spare room, but Janet and Ken both up. Janet in good spirits today and Lorraine helped her onto the chaise lounge that her mum Maggie, who I knew well, had bought her when she passed her PhD.
By the time we had reached Hove the clouds had gone and it was a perfect blue sky.
After seeing Janet and Ken, we went around the corner to Caffe Nero where we met Beth for a coffee and a catch up, before jumping on the bus home.
There we discussed plans for reorganising one of the bedrooms into a studio, where Lorraine can do embroidery, jigsaws and so on, and I can do stained glass and art. It's part of a vision that is an alternative to sitting about watching TV in the evening. Sometimes TV must be watched, but it can be a thief of time. We also moved CDs around the house.
Wrote a few emails to Janet and Ken's friends and family, and talked to Ros. Lorraine prepared her assembly for tomorrow, and then we settled down with a late dinner and watched The Bodyguard on BBC. Reluctant to go to bed tonight, because it means the new weeks starts.
Below there are lots of art snails in Brighton at the moment, here's one of them in Churchill Square. They have do not climb signs on them, but children seem to find them irresistible. Here is a view of the old west pier taken while we walked to Janet and Ken's house, just noticed another snail in the shot too.
