Been a funny day today, not got into a good flow with anything, flitting from this to that and not achieving a lot.
The weather started off dull and drizzly, temperature around 8 which is where it has stayed most of the day. The sun tried to emerge around lunch time but only briefly.
President Mubarak stepped down from power today, I have been watching the BBC news, when it was announced that he was stepping down there was a huge roar from the Egyptians in Tahrir Square. I have never taken much notice of what goes on in Egypt until now, I did not know that the Mubarak regime was bad and that the people hated him and had been repressed by his regime for many years. I am so glad that they have been brave in holding the 3 week protests to rid him of his power and will keep watching to see what happens to them in the future. We might get fed up with our government in this country sometimes but at least we are able to live our lives freely and have the freedom of speech.
We went into town at lunch time, I collected my train tickets for my trip to Bournemouth, looking forward to seeing Harry and George again. The ticket cost me £50.00 one way, I am hoping to get a lift with Colin and Laura on the way back. Colin and Laura are planning on going down on Saturday 19th as they want to collect a load of baby gear from Helen. Now Colin has a nice car I don't mind travelling 6 hours in the car with him, it was pretty awful in his old banger the last time I travelled down South with them!
I bought some spray paint for my Gormley sculpture, I'm really looking forward to using it!
You know when you get that afternoon sleepy eyed lull after lunch, that was me, I could not keep my eyes open so I went for a snooze, how lucky am I that I am able to do that when I feel like it! Sometimes when I look at other peoples blogs with lots of pictures of art and craft they have done that day I am very jeolous and wonder how they manage to get all these things done and write about it, so that is my next challenge to put more effort into doing some art everyday, it makes it sound like I do not want to do it, I do, but I let other things get in the way which I am not going to do anymore!
We are going out to do some art tomorrow, look forward to that.
