Yesterday I forgot to write about the concert that Tina and I went to on Saturday evening. It was at St Mark's church and was 'An evening of String Duos'. The two gentlemen performing were David Johnson on violin and Thomas Bertolotti on cello. They were very good and played several pieces. The vicar at St Mark's used to be an opera singer and joined them for one piece to sing an aria from a Verdi opera called Nabucco. A good crowd attended and there were refreshments in the interval, so all in all a great evening.
I have been de-cluttering and Darren took me to the charity shop with four good sized bags of stuff. I have started a different collection for us to do a boot sale at some point. He then dropped me near the post office as I had a couple of packages to send off. I wandered down to the south bay and the mist and sun made it glorious today. I took three pictures, all 'blind' as I was facing the sun. They turned out well so will post all three!!
I started with quite a bit of zoom then less and none, but as I said I had no idea what I had taken! Walking back I took a picture of a couple of the curved houses, but really to show how blue the sky was and not a cloud to be seen.
When I got home my Dr Blake dvd had arrived so I watched an episode, then cracked on with the de-cluttering. I have a couple of bags to take to the community centre and another package ready to go. So far so good.I need to keep at it while I am in the mood and before I decide I need to keep everything!
Beautiful pictures of the bay! The blue sky is VERY blue too. A good picture day today. It's nice when you shoot 'blind' like that and end up with some great pictures.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the sorting is going well. It always gets easier when you get into it, it's just the starting I find hard!
Your night out sounded really enjoyable, maybe they'll do another if it was popular.
Yes, the pictures were a really nice surprise, I was glad I wandered along there. The vicar at the church has connections with classical musicians so hopefully they will have more concerts.
