Back to Scotland and my weekend - lots of 'same old' for this time of year with rugby on the TV, plenty of crochet and then more TV with the big reality shows.
But I did also do something new - a fun set of events at the museum to celebrate the recently opened fashion and design galleries (featured in a snap in July). There was a fascinating table full of corsetry and undergarments showing the things people have done to change their body shape - including items bought this year. Lovely to be able to pick them up and feel them - they all felt very uncomfortable. I was fascinated by a woman doing small loom weaving and another making origami jewellery and I enjoyed all of the slogans that people had written on t-shirts but didn't join the queue to get to that table - because I was intent on queuing for another fun stall - all will be revealed on Wednesday!
And, of course I'm not going to leave you without a photo - too cloudy to try for the super moon last night but on the way to the museum I did spot a fabulous new mural on an end wall
Hope you all have a good week - with far fewer big shocks than last week!

I think living through an earthquake would be be scary but when thoroughly prepared I guess it takes some of the fear down a notch or two. That Pacific ring was/is certainly active these last few weeks; Japan, Argentina & now New Zealand. Mother Nature is upset about something!
I like that wall mural - it rather ties in with the Ring of Fire & hope. Ah t-shirt slogans can sometimes be great words of wisdom, sometimes! Happy week ahead & I look forward to Wednesday's collection.
There are certainly some dramatic natural events happening this year, it must make you quite nervous to live in an area in a known quake zone.
That mural is beautiful, just the kind of bright thing you need to cheer up a miserable November day!
What a pretty mural: just the lift we could all do with, I think. And something to look forward to, too: I'll be looking out on Wednesday!
Have a good week!
What a charming mural! Keeping NZ in my thoughts this week. I'm sure I'd be quite terrified.
Too cloudy and foggy here to see the supermoon too. Pretty mural - I guess that is poppies she is holding?
New Zealand has been in our thoughts too. Lovely mural too.
That's a happy and uplifting sight on a grey day - I saw the BBC had featured some in Glasgow recently and they were amazing too. A very talented lot, north of the border :). We have friends south of Christchurch and were relieved they seem to be Ok. But it is not so for everyone, alas ...
