musings on museum





well, was down london way over easter break and as i love museums.... (was in the natural history AND science AND Victoria & Albert!!!)
of interest for me:a rock (crystal really) that 'glows' under UV light; some fine symmetry from mughal times out of india; RJ Mitchell (designer of the Spitfire) - of interest is the sculpture, it's made from water-worn slate pebbles; a very funny pic of mamma polar bear not waiting for her offspring as she's hungry and food? it's 40 miles away to broken pack ice.
and i found some who are struck by museums even more than me, kids.

Lots of people talking, (hi neil!) but noone to me.
So i went dancing, and nobody would join me.
iwonderwhy?

Fourtunate One!





Life is so very, very short. So, to celebrate one, Finola's, led to special days at the end of July last year. I know a fool who missed it. I think we can see above those who knew not to miss 'great days', and the tales of the clan O'Brien.
