Well after a pretty rubbish nights sleep for both of us we were a little slow to get moving this morning. But once up and about we grabbed Molly and headed into Nottingham.
We let Molly drive us in and were very impressed with her driving and confidence. Driving into the centre of Nottingham is not for the feint hearted there is lots of traffic, multiple sets of traffice lights and roundabouts to navigate and road systems that require you to be in the correct lane at the right time! But she handled it all very calmly and negotiated her first multi-level car park and got chance to practice her reversing into a parking bay skills. Very proud of how she is getting along.
By the time we arrived in the city it was lunchtime so we grabbed ourselves a 'Five Guys' burger; great thing about here is being able to order a bunless burger and choose your own toppings which means we can keep it all keto. And as the weather was kind to us we could enjoy the meal sat outside in the sunshine.
We then took Molly to the art gallery we had found yesterday and introduced her to the artist, Carole Ellis. We wanted Molly to see what another artist was creating, how they were presenting it and how much they were selling it for so that it might inspire her and help her find the direction she wants to take her own work. Whilst Molly ideally wants to work within photography she has decided to expand the design side of her business to give her more scope, especially while she waits to get her driving licence sorted and becomes fully mobile.
We then stopped for a coffee and a chat before having a quick look around some shops. Heading home we let Molly drive once more, again having to negotiate tricky traffic situations that I'm not too sure I'd have been happy to do when I was still learning. Although it is a little tricky to remember what that was like as it's about 33 years ago!!!
Once home it was time for more coffee and chill. Molly was in the garage for an hour or so working on her latest design creations; she is experimenting with different techniques and mediums to find the right combination that not only gives her the results that she wants but will be easy to recreate in order to produce the items she needs as well.
We rounded out the day with a trip to the 'gym' and I even had a go with our newly installed battle ropes and was quite pleased with what I managed, although I am prepared to be aching in places in the next 24 hours or so!
Right, where's my wine and chocolate? It's time for this weeks RuPauls' Drag Race!
See you tomorrow.
