Saturday and Sunday

We attended a drawing workshop at Literati run by Liz Kemp, a Scottish artist. We were using the right side of our brains and followed some exercises to help us see things better. The lesson was held in the garden. It was a highly enjoyable session and we are returning next week. 

We paid a quick visit to Mapusa by taxi to order some new specs for me. It is so tempting to visit FabIndia while we are so close. This Indian chainstore company owns a 25% stake in the UK store East. They aim to support artisanal workers who normally get very little for their labours.  The fabrics are silk, cotton and wool. 

 Inevitably I came away with a lovely silk number!

Today, Sunday, we went with friends to a beach further north. It was quiet, unlike the hectic hubbub at Calangute or Baga Beach. This little chappie was one of many spotted. (About 2 inches across)

Those of you in colder climes will enjoy the fact that it wasn't wall to wall sunshine  for us today. It turned very windy and a bit cloudy in the afternoon.
