Mostly me!

After a really rather stressful day yesterday, today was a lovely contrast.  After dropping the girls off at the theatre I walked on to check out Knit Nottingham, but when I found that it opened at 10.30 rather than 10 o'clock as I thought, I carried on walking and happened to come across a spa-y sort of place with a board outside saying £9 for half an hour pampering.  When K & M decided that they wanted to do the Show in a Week, which would give me a whole five days without them from 10am - 4pm and I had commented that I 'wouldn't know what to do with myself' and they had said that I could go for a massage, which I thought was a very good idea, so I went in booked a back massage.  The earliest they could do was midday, so I headed back down the road and loitered at a busstop for a while until the yarn shop opened.  I spent over an hour in there chatting with the very helpful owner, and bought some yarn and a pattern for my first attempt at crocheting an item of clothing, before going for a very good and exceedingly good value massage.

Pattern and yarn.

I then pootled through town, bought a top for half price in the sale in Fat Face, treated myself to something from Hotel Chocolat and caught the bus home.  On the way home from the bus, I got caught in a pretty hard downpour, but I was feeling so relaxed and it was the sort of summer rain that smells really good, that it was rather lovely.  I had time for a leisurely lunch and cuppa before I had to head back into town to pick up the girls.  We had to go and buy them a pair of black leggings for the show, which fortunately was a quick and easy job as they are both shattered. 

This evening K & M both learned more lines (which they continue to be given, even though the show is tomorrow evening!) and also had a look at this link, which has xrays of joints as they move and we talked briefly about how we'd talked about the different types of joints e.g. ball & socket and hinge joints when we looked at bones as part of our human body project.
