This morning I set off fairly early to catch the bus to town, then was catching another one to the hospital for my physio appointment. Something has taken a fancy to the daffodils and don't think I can blame the slugs for this attack!
I was seen on time for my appointment. Not a lot to do really. Can't take the boot off completely until I have seen the consultant, then I have another physio appointment for the week after that. I have got to point my toe down less, oops, have been going way too far, but told him it didn't hurt!! I have one of the elastic band strips now to start adding some resistance exercises. He changed the first one I tried for one with more resistance, so will get on with that.
I was out in good time and Tina came across to pick me up so that I could go along with her to Hull. She had an afternoon training session and I was able to see the poppies displayed at the Maritime museum. I have had real difficulty deciding on which photos to use, so I am afraid it will be a few. This display is called Weeping Window.




Included the last one as the building itself is rather striking. I went into the art gallery, didn't do too much walking around as I was feeling tired, but this display was fascinating. I am putting the description before the exhibit.

Had to have the lions as this is the one painting that I remember from the gallery!
These engraving on sperm whale teeth were just amazing.
Tina finished in good time and we had a straightforward journey home. It has been a beautiful day and I am very fond of Hull so good to be there for a while.

  1. Best part of the day out and about for you. Sounds, and looks like it was a good one though. A glowing report from the physio is a good start, apart from the toe pointing that is. Was that when you've been practicing your ballet? :-) The pictures of the poppies are great. Such an amazing display, and all the better in person I bet. Must take a fair bit of setting up. The display of the foam 'pebbles' is very unusual. Fancy collecting 10,000 of them! Very conscientious artist. Love the whale teeth too. A lot of talent needed to engrave like that. Knowing my luck I'd get to near the end and then mess it up!

  2. I move the foot up and down in bed when I have the boot off, will be very difficult not to stretch it but will try my best. Will do some resistance exercises too. I loved the idea of the weeping window and it is a lovely building too.The pebbles did look like actual pebbles, interesting, you wouldn't think that he could collect that many, makes you think!
