Pretty Patterned Paintjob

The usual Thursday routine - up to Edinburgh, singing, patchwork project class, various errands, back home for five minutes to feed the cats then off to Hawick to the ballet.

We bought the tickets a while back, and they were to be collected at the venue. Which explains why when we got there, it turned out to be opera, not ballet.  Scottish Opera and Scottish Ballet both do touring shows featuring young artists, going round small towns and villages. And we'd got a bit confused .......

Anyway, it was very good. Four singers and a piano, and a plot constructed to include music from Monteverdi to Noel Coward, with everyone in between. Very clever, and they brought it off splendidly.

The camera didn't come out much today. I spotted this florist's van at lunchtime, plenty of pattern in its paintwork to qualify for Abstract Thursday , thanks to Ingeborg for her hosting of this fun challenge.
