Sunday Catch-up ~Art Week

Well, it's been a good week, and I've got a few photos to put up for a change :]

I had a bunch of night shifts this week which was great for doing whatever I wanted in the daytime, with just a bit of extra sleep-in time XD So one evening, Dad & I went on a little drive around to enjoy the evening and stopped at the Telford Steam Railway for a while. There was even a gent who worked there just doing a couple of things to one of trains and he let us in for a closer look and told us a little info about the place, how cool was that? x3

Another week, more pretty lilies x3 These yellowy ones are the only ones of their type in the garden.

Later on in the week I went with a friend to see 'Hiroshige’s Japan', an exhibit in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery. I'm not sure if I was allowed to take photos...but it didn't say I couldn't, so? Aha. It was worth the look anyway, although it wasn't a large collection. I learnt a bit about wood-block printing and got a lot of wanderlust. This was one of my favourite paintings, showing a man riding his horse into a small village in the snow.

I'm not sure if you can see what's going on here, but basically Face and I took a drive after winning a table on ebay xD When we collected it we hadn't measured the car or the table so it was kinda pot luck as to whether it would fit or not. As you can see, it did! Juuuust. I have a rather small Daihatsu and it still managed to get a full size table and 4 chairs in the back XD Now the challenge is to find somewhere in the house to put it until we move into our place.

Today a friend and I met up in Wolves and went to check out a little car display at Bantock House. There were only like 6 old cars there, all of this type (I don't really know what you would call this kind of spoke-wheeled car) but we had a look and got some photos.

Later we went onto Birmingham and spent hours mooching around the place looking for these owl sculptures that'd all been painted by different artists in varying themes. It was a lot of fun, I like collecting and I like mooching around, so this was my kind of day! We found just over 30 in the centre of Brum, which I'll tell you more about another time :] We then went on to have all-you-can-eat sushi for tea, where we rolled out from about an hour and a half later. OMG sushi is so filling x.X
I hope you had a good week too? Sadly I'm back on a normal shift pattern next week but hopefully I'll find more fun (& cheap things!) to do x3

Sunday Catch-up ~Tuesday Edition

Aha I suck, I'm sorry. Would you believe I've had the last two days off and still managed to skip my posting schedule? I'm sure if you know of my mastery of procrastination you can :x
It's not that I had an amazing week full of interest, but since I already had all the pictures edited up for this post I thought I should actually post them :x

Well, I'm still pretty obsessed with these lillies...I think I'm going to have to put some money aside to buy more next year XD I've got some white and yellow ones coming out now too x3

On Tuesday we went out with some friends to Southwater for dinner. The town looks so good now they've done it all up. I'd hoped to get a picture of it in the dark with the building lights shining across the lake too, but the nights are still long as we left too early XD Next time then!

On this day Dad and Face were both out andso I did some stuff here and there and then decided i needed to get out of the house for a while. I went for a drive and suddenly thought to check on this field that a couple of years ago was coated in massive poppies. Yeah...I missed all the big poppies (check out my instagram for that shot...) but all these little poppies were cropping up at the edge of the field x3

Well, this is getting to be quite a flower-themed post, isn't it? I was about to go out the other day and noticed that the bees are loving our lavender plants at the moment. I was really trying for a shot of a bee flying but it just wasn't happening, so there's this one instead x3

Driving back from my friends house on Sunday, I was just in time to catch this sunset x3 So gradual!
Well, that was it for last week, did you have a good week?
