The Weekend In Pictures

Friday-silly glasses and helicopters.

We love it when helicopters fly over.

I hope they can see us waving.

On Friday night we went here, to see John Cale performing 'Paris 1919'. Very good.

Saturday morning-to the station.

Then St. Pancras.

Heading to Leicester to see our friends.

We had a bracing walk to the pub in the afternoon, a couple of relaxed pints accompanied by games such as hangman, a lovely curry for dinner and a go at Mario Cart on the Wii-quite fun! Hama bead art in their sitting room.

Rob, Louis and Claire.

People withdrawing cash to afford the vintage things in the fair. It was interestingly full of people dressed in a stylish vintage fashion. I bought a lovely handbag and various small things such as button cards, tin cars and rick-rack. Scrabble letter tiles made into jewellery seems to be a bit of a thing at the moment. The girl on the door had her name, Sarah, written across her cleavage in scrabble letters, drawing the eye somewhat!

Ned Trifle in action.

I like the wooden tiles on this building. It is part of DeMontfort University, formerly Leicester Polytechnic-where I (and Andy and Rob) went to college. Next we visited the Newarke Houses Museum. Not only was it interesting, but it had a chutney and jam sale in the tearoom-I got some lime curd and some chilli jam-both delicious!

Leicester's famous fat man, Daniel Lambert.

Prophetic labelling.(more to come on that later this week)

Spring sunshine-though it was freezing.

Affordable vintage sweets

Home again, and in the only normal part of the flat at the moment-the bedroom. The rest of it is in chaos due to an influx of furniture and other items from Andy's Mum. All lovley but with nowhere to go. I started some reorganising tonight when we got home. It will all be sorted by the weekend-I am determined!
