A tall ship at berth in the Albert Dock Liverpool
Antony Gormley`s Iron Men on Crosby Beach. There are 100 Men 7 foot tall situated along the beach all looking in the same direction.
The Albert Dock the Liver Building in the backgroundWell the Music Festival was cancelled the day before the opening. The Council Officials said it was due to a lack of funds. It seems odd to me that it was left so late in the day to cancel the event. Some of our poets had hurried back from holiday to attend and I am sure many others were just as disappointed. To top it the weather was terrific all weekend, warm sunshine and vivid blue skies. Typical.
It has been hot and sticky most days wet or dry, I hate this high humidity it so tiring. There have been some very hot days recently which have kept me indoors. I chose one day to go to the movies to see Mama Mia in the air conditioned theatre. I loved the music and the scenery but I thought the story was too weak. Abba are a great favourite of mine, their music always makes me feel good.
Drove over to Middleton Sunday night to the Poetry Gig there where lots of new faces and some great poems shared.
Spent most of the week doing housework. I tend to leave it until it is screaming at me from all corners. I am quite tidy and keep things together but it’s the “bottoming” that I hate. Still its done now so I can relax for another few months. Ha ha.
I can`t believe its August, where is our summer? The shops are full of summer clearance bargains,no one is buying this year. I know I haven`t bought much and I won`t be buying even now at these bargain prices. I don’t think I have worn a dress or a skirt since last summer.And I have worn shoes and socks more than sandals too.
Had a great day out yesterday at the Tate Liverpool. With 48 members of the Women’s Institute we attended the Gustav Klimt Exhibition . Prior to the viewing we had an hours lecture by one of the guides, it was an essential prerequisite to the exhibition and made it so much easier to understand what we where seeing. There where furniture and designs as well as paintings and drawings, some rather exotic as Gustav Klimt was very interested in the female form and had a rather risk`a reputation. I have for many years admired Gustav Klimt`s paintings and have three of his prints on my wall at home. The Kiss: Birch Trees and Mother and Baby. After the exhibition we travelled by coach to Crosby Beach to see Antony Gormleys Iron Men. It was a lovely balmy evening, the sun came out so we enjoyed a walk along the beach where we had the opportunity to take some photos. A tiring but very interesting day.
