Here's what we did today
Mailbox Charity Gallery Oct 2007
Originally uploaded by Ali Noakes. Well, we made it to the Mailbox and left our mark at the exhibition!
For the MIscarriage Association we left our handprints (five:one for each baby we lost); Cancer Research where we wrote on a ribbon then tied it to the wire mesh; we blow-painted our mark on a wall for an infant mortality charity (not a name of a charity I'd heard of); and made a clay model for Epilepsy Charity. We made a donation for each one.
It was a very moving, tranquil experience. We were the only ones there so were able to take our time reflecting on each one.
Sushi: we decided we could take it or leave it after our first sushi experience this afternoon. Quite bland and a little boring after 5 minutes. I'm sure sushi lovers will unite against me for that comment ;-)
We didn't make it to the jewellery quarter. A quick check on the web revealed that most diamond items (it was our 10th wedding anniversary and that's diamond in the modern version!) were starting from £400. I don't appreciate jewellery enough to spend that much. BUT, I discovered the wonderful, wonderful world of Fat Face in the Mailbox. I feel as though this could be my new 2nd home! So bought a few items from there instead of diamonds :-)
