Three Wise Monkeys, Othello and Bubbles

1 My Three Wise Monkeys sculpture, made in copper especially for me by the artist, Jeremy Beswick, some years ago, has today been put up on the wall by Mr S. I grew up with three carved wooden monkeys but they didn’t end up with me so I had some made! The Three Wise Monkeys “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”

2 What a treat! Shakespeare’s Othello has been on BBC Radio 4 this afternoon and I’ve been planting up my monkey sculpture with the radio close by. Lenny Henry was brilliant as Othello in this Northern Broadsides production.

3 Beautiful bubbles have been blowing over the fence from next door’s 5 year old having fun. 🙂 Click on the photo to enlarge and see the bubbles clearly.

Bubbles, caught on camera!

Brother-in-Law, Photographs and the British Library

13 Jan

1 We spent the day with P, my favourite brother-in-law, who was over from Poland for yesterday’s funeral. We see him so infrequently; it was lovely to be able to have the day together.

2 The Natural History Museum has an exhibition of photographs. What a fabulous and inspiring collection! I’ll post some photos when we get home.I want a really good camera and some lessons in how to make really good photos.

3 Our next visit was to the British Library. I love that place! We saw the Dickens exhibition, the Ritblat collection and it gave me such a thrill to know that every one of Dad’s books is in there. It is Dad’s birthday today so it seem most appropriate to be thinking of him and his writing today.

4 Cherry blossom, the Natural History Museum building itself, the busker in the tunnel from the tube to the museum, coming home to the delightful Grandbabies – all in all brilliant day.
