An art Trip.

What went well?

Well - went on a fab trip to Tate Britain to see the Hockney exhibition.  We got their early so we walked from Victoria, taking in Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on the way.  Bub says London is just Showy Offy - with its big old buildings and so on.  Guess it is.

Hockney exhibition was brilliant.   I love his work, so cool to see it up close, love the combination of styles of painting he uses in one painting, the mixture of almost cubist shaping, architectural detailing, and expressive and fine detailing in the brush work.  The light is captured so well.  The atmospheres.  Even in the crazy bold stuff.  But the Yorkshire stuff was amazing to see too, and his drawings? - wowswer.

Had a lovely lunch, and managed to get our train home on time, despite thinking it was at 4pm and rushing off at 3.30pm - and getting to the station to discover that the 4pm train wasn't valid for the ticket we bought, but luckily we were JUST in time for the 3.50pm train.  Dashed and ran but caught it.  

Got an email from our builder.   He can almost do our kitchen before he goes away for a week in March.  Need to get the money accessible and sort out a start date.  Hub back late from doing focus groups so we will catch up at some point today.

Had a lovely relaxed evening, bed early, nice.

What could be done better?
Could have bought the slightly more expensive ticket and not had to rush off.  Could have kept a slightly better eye on the time in the restaurant so that didn't have to dash off.  

Am thinking about my health again.  Weighed myself, and am back up past 65kg.  No biggie apart from I really don't want to grow out of my posh coat!! Its lasted so well for so long and it would be such a shame to not be able to continue using it.  And also, in general, i have been feeling tired.  Perhaps its age. But that doesn't mean I can't do something about it. Watched a video interview of a chap who does "total health" and while it wasn't a very informative video, he mentioned a couple of things that perhaps I could try.  Mainly drinking warm water and lemon for breakfast, and doing the 16 / 8.  to help regulate the endocrine system and support my body.  Anti inflamatory and all that.

So my do better stuff is around eating well and  - am going to try the 16/ 8 .  though ha! not today as already have had 2 cups of milky tea.  And I haven't really thought it through at all.  I might need to plan a little.

I had forgotten to email P from BCC.  Which is annoying as I had this nagging feeling that I had.  And I should have called her on Wednesday like I planned to.  But I didn't.  So need to follow my plans.
