1. I discover this wonderful thing here in Tunbridge Wells -- Art at Your Fingertips -- a library of tactile pictures for people with a visual impairment. Each picture comes with audio to help the user understand what is under their fingertips.
2. Overheard: a woman talking to her colleagues about a phone call to her little boy. "He said: 'Just a minute, I have to go and do the stompy happy dinosaur dance.'"
3. I hurry across London in the gathering dusk for a class at the School of Life -- How to Survive Your Family. I like the idea of people gathered in the same room for one purpose.
I think I could do with that class. Was it any good?
ReplyDeleteYes -- it really made me think. I was alert and attentive for the whole thing (unusual for me!) and I enjoyed meeting some of the other participants.
ReplyDeleteI think you get out what you put in -- if you go in willing to engage and keen to know more, you'll come away with lots to consider.
This is the man who ran it -- http://www.markvernon.com/ -- I thought he was very engaging and authentic, so I felt as if he was making the journey with us.
Adorable. The class sounds heavenly. I think we should all do one now and again !!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend Rainy believes that art saves lives...I think it is a dynamite idea to share art with those who are visually impaired. Thank you for sharing that little bit to brighten my day, Clare! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDelete#3 I need a class like that!
