101 things that make me happy #15 +16 and more!
#15 on the list of things that make me happy is The Museum of Everything. It descripes itself as "The world's only travelling museum for undiscovered, unintentional and untrained artists from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries"
It is always fun when the Museum of Everything has another exhibition, because you are guaranteed to be cheered and impressed by some amazing artworks and installations. If you have a chance to visit it, please do, you won't be dissapointed!
Even their website is amazing!
Other than that, I've had quite a busy weekend.
On friday I finished the Thames Path! It was quite a strange walk. It started at Tower Bridge and the area east of Tower Bridge is not really an area I often go too. It is very beautiful though, some gorgeous houses there! But then soon it starts to get a bit shabbier. Until you come to greenwich, which is a really nice area again. But then beyond that, there is mostly just building sites, except for the 02 arena. And it's weird, because Thames Path goes up to the Thames Barrier, that's considered the end (or the beginning), but the actual path doesn't end there, so it felt very unfinished, because I could just keep on walking. In any case, I've done it, and I'm very glad I did it, because it took my through loads of places I otherwise wouldn't have seen.
On saturday I went down to Putney to see some of the olympic cycling, road race for men. It was busy, but not as crowded as I feared it would be, we didn't have to wait around for hours. But it was very weird anyway. Basically for about half an hour we just waved at police bikes and support cars (who were all good sport and waved back and generally enjoyed all the attention) and then we saw a whole load of cyclists whizz by in about 20 seconds. It was all good fun though.
On sunday I decided to escape London and visit the Roald Dahl museum in Great Missenden. It's one of those places I've always wanted to see, but never gotten around to it. I must say it's nice, but not spectacular. I was very pleased with my results on the Sparkometer, to see how sparky you are. It said I was as sparky as Grandpa Joe! I also did the countryside trail, which was very nice and I even saw a swing in the forests, which I had a go on. In fact, that will be another thing that makes me happy: Swings!
I think just the museum is not worth going out for, but with the walk included and seeing some other Roald Dahl related spots around the village it was a nice day out.
And then today I've spend mostly doing a whole load of boring things. Most importantly transferring all my money from my english account into my dutch one and closing my english account. It was actually a whole lot easier then I thought it would be, in any case, I'm glad I can cross it of the list.
