As you all know I spent this weekend feeling pretty rubbish - to be honest, Rich and I still don't fell 100%, worst bug EVER!
But we did go to the botanical gardens on Saturday to check out all of the tulips - every year the gardens has a spring time festival and one of the highlights is the tulips. They are usually only around for a few weeks, so you have to make the most of them whilst they are in bloom.
The Chinese church across the road was having a lantern festival at the same time we were visiting the gardens so we went over and checked out the festival as well. I loved the Hello Kitty lanterns best of all - which is no surprise!
I also thought I'd share some street art we came across in the city over the weekend - there is a fence on Vivian Street that is often home to some temporary street art.
This week the art included a craft-tastic work in support of Pussy Riot - I thought this is pretty rad.
This was a very sweet little piece of street art - free balloons all round!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend - here's hoping that this will be the week that the sickness will disappear for good!
I'm sorry you're both still ill! You certainly don't look it!

Hey, I saw you at Film Soc on Monday! I considered coming and saying hi but I was in a bit of a state due to sleeping for the entire film, as I have to get up at 5am on Mondays and go to work and uni all day. Maybe next week I will be a little more alert and introduce myself!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been sick, hope you're on the mend by now. This post has some of my favourite things - flowers, paper lanterns and street art - what more could you want?
