Whew...how many days was that?

What a day!


I swear we squeezed about four days into yesterday alone.


We started off going shopping in BCN for shirts for Eldest, Youngest and I got some too....then we went off to Poble Espanya, and didn't go, the entrance fee was exorbitant....


SOOOOOoooooo back down to Caixa Forum, where they had a fantastic exhibit of photographs...by Jacques Henri Lartigue..they were utterly delightful!  Movement and flight and action...he must have been massively talented and had the most willing family.  They seem to have spent half their lives jumping off things.


Home for a break, then Youngest and I went off to the beach...why don't I go more often?  It was a delight, I even had a short nap!


Home, then walked the dog in the mountains, another delight...with both kids too.....


Home, then watched the Spain - Chile game...which Spain won...it was safe, but very boring for the last 10 min....they advance though anyway....Inesta got a sweet goal, and the Chilean goalie made a very bad mistake for the other...oops.


ho hum.


What with all that, no canvas yesterday, nor today either.......maybe tomorrow I'll get three done?

Sounds like a busy, busy day. Everyone has suddenly noticed soccer over here, now that the U.S. team actually won a game. :-)

It was a crazy day, one of those ones when you can't quite believe that what you were up to that morning was indeed, that morning.

I'm always amazed at how much some people do in a given day. I probably have some days like that, but don't notice them. Being outside is one of my favorite things, one of the reasons I don't like this northern climate. It's always a good day when I've spent most of it outside, I feel properly aired out. The house is looking amazing. It's like watching it being built from the ground up!

Bodhi, I don't normally acheive quite so much in a day....it was one of those that makes me stand back in amazement too. Hope the house goes well while I'm not there as well!

I must learn more about Lartigue. Just the few photos in the link you posted have me intrigued. BTW-the canvases you have posted lately are just wonderful. I'm loving them..especially the colors.

He was fabulous...so happy and such fun....and thanks about the canvases. I am getting frustrated lately, my ambitions are outstripping my available time. A kind word helps.
