I spent a pleasant hour on Sunday crocheting this fun carp that I'd marked in my crochet magazine a few months ago - it's sole purpose is to raise a smile
On Friday I had another first - a pleasant evening at the opening event of the local community book festival - lots of poetry readings and songs all on the theme of 'we're all Jock Tamson's bairns' - this phrase was also new to me even though when I looked it up I learnt that it was first included in the Dictionary of Scots Language in 1847. It means we are all the same. The theme was interpreted widely with historic and very current examples.
And I wanted to share a first from last weekend when I was in Barcelona - the magic fountain display - a fabulous half hour of lights and music and changing water formations in the giant fountain - a free display. The crowd was large but the water spouts high and it was easy to see (and at times feel) the spray. This is a screengrab from my gallery which shows the variety - and if you look closely along the bottom of some of the photos - the number of people using phones and tablets to capture the magic
wishing you all a good week

A fun little carp and great collage of the fountain.
Well your carp has succeed in bringing smiles. Oh those photos of the water fountains & lights - spectacular. Happy week ahead.
That carp gave me a much needed smile today, so thanks for that. And I like that expression. It's interesting to think of people then using it just as we would say something similar today.
Wishing you a good week
What a beautiful collage of the fountains and I love the little carp, his mouth is perfect! Happy Monday to you Helena.
Well he definitely does raise a smile. A fun little project. The fountains are beautiful.
Those fountains remind me of one in front of one of the casinos in Las Vegas. The little carp is adorable.
Cute carp, and I love fountain pictures. TFS
Oh that fountain display looks lovely. I like such things and spent happy hours watching the various ones at Disney.
The carp is cute too.
I am super impressed by your fountain shots - moving water is hard to capture well. It must have been wonderful to see - a bit like fireworks. I have no idea how you manage to knit so small! You could do a whole aquarium of fish in different colours. They'd make a lovely mobile :).
