Yesterday was A_S's friend's vernissage in the Old Town. We walked there from Odenplan popping in at shops on the way. It was really icy cold and a huge contrast to the sauna - like heat of the gallery, packed with people. Only tiny thimble size glasses of wine and a few snacks. Not ideal conditions for appreciating art. Some of the art was colourful oils and some pale pastels oil on canvas with collage and texture thrown in. Bits of old letters, receipts, lace .. an idea to pinch. I am inspired to go through my souvenirs and make them into a collage.
This is Odenplan - where we started.
It was freezing cold and A-S. was late so I took a few pics while waiting. The walk to Gamla Stan felt like a hundred miles. My knee started to ache.
A-S. popped into a shop to buy a pair of cheap gloves and I saw a handbag style rucksack that I liked which looks quite smart , yet was also cheap and can hold two or even three bottles of wine and a book ! Ideal for travelliing.
After the Vernissage we popped into an nice Italian place for pasta and a bottle of wine and were later joined by M&S .They were all going to the same party afterwards , right out in the sticks.
On the way to the tube station we saw Per, K's Ex who was busking in the tube station , He called out a greeting to A-S who seemed embarrassed. Mr&Ms M&S were with us , maybe that's why we didn't stop for a chat. I felt bad about that. I don't think I ever met Per but have heard about him many times.
Mr& Ms M&S and A-S got on their train and I waited for mine which was close behind. Started reading my new Richo book about how to be adult in relationships and missed Fridhemsplan stop. Finally back at Sundbyberg fell asleep on the sofa feeling stiff and aching all over, totally knackered.
