secret cardigans in barcelona
Oct. 27th, 2010 08:58 pmRight, so. A while back we visited Barcelona, and boy was that a cool place! Except it was warm and sunny, which we really liked. The site visit to the construction of a highspeed rail tunnel right under the most sensitive parts of the city was pretty cool too -- we were allowed _inside_ a real, working TBM! (That's Tunnel Boring Machine.) Also pretty rock formations in the southern edge of the Pyrenees.
Here are some pictures.

My Mother is home from the hospital again, and I'm not sure she's entirely ready for it. She was home on leave last weekend and that was allright except that she's still weird and it's a bad sign that she keeps watching "Sense and Sensibility" over and over. Then on Monday she was discharged, and today was a bad day again, because of medical mix-ups with the hospital. The slightest thing tips her over the edge. Let's just hope she is well enough to bounce back instead of remaining at the bottom of the pit, as it were.

In Barcelona, five of us bought iPads, because they're cheaper there, and not yet on sale here. Gadgets! Fun! I consider it an early birthday present. And I don't care what computer whizzes say about how useless it is because you can't turn it into a Mighty Morphin' Whatever, I think they're FUN! So there. (You know who you are, no need to point out you don't like iPads.)
And I can easily watch all the "Doctor Who" I want on the bus! And it's a really neat electronic photo frame! Andandand!

I'm watching "Secret Army", one of the best TV shows ever. At least the intro and outro; that and "How The West Was Won" must be the bes ones. Anyway, in ep one, who's in it but Anthony Ainley, beardless! He quite resemble Eric Roberts, actually...

Last night I finally cleared out a lot of stuff from my wardrobe, things I never wear. Three big bags to the charities! Right at the back of the wardrobe I found a beautiful cardigan my Mother knitted in the 80s or 90s. I've just recently been thinking, wouldn't it be nice with a cardigan? Perhaps I should get one. Well! If I had only dug a little farther.... Also I found my Grandmother's shawl which I now wear at work where it's really really chilly. Because of all the wiiiiiiinds, and the raiiiiiiiiiin!
They didn't have winds and rain in Barcelona, *sulk*
