Acrobats and Antimacassars, and Knots of Knitters

Mmmm cakeA few pics of life in Dock World this week…

First up when we set off on the Dock Walk on Sunday I knew we would be stopping at Titanic Belfast to celebrate the one-year anniversary of its grand opening.  What I didn’t know was that we would arrive just in time for a spectacular acrobatic display high in the girders of the grand atrium – and get treated to some Titanic Belfast birthday cake!

That’s the great thing about Dock Walks – you ever know what you’re going to find out there…

And so on to today – which found me (yet again) borrowing Dock Hero Albert’s trusty battered white van to pick up some more newly-donated furniture.  Some fantastic stuff with a cool retro vibe – one of the suites even came complete with ‘antimassacars’ (little white doily thingies – look it up):

Check out the antimassacrs on that!

I’ve decided that the Dock’s interior style is now a completely new thing called ‘Victorian/Edwardian Industrial Pop-Up Chic’.

And I think we’re rocking it…

One last thing – tomorrow morning at Dock Cafe from 11:30 there will be a gathering of knitters (what is the plural?  A Knot of Knitters?) – Sit/Sip/Knit.  As always, wool, patterns and words of wise advice will be provided!
