Another big day
Anna and I went ice skating this morning! I am terribly horribly bad at this but we had loads of fun anyway. I only *nearly* fell over twice! (no photos of that unfortunately). We're going to see if we can do it again in Paris when we go
Somerset House
Pretty tree
After that I did a few errands, managed to open a bank account with Lloyds, huzzah! Then I headed back to the British Museum since I was in the area mainly to see the Greece and Epyptian sections. Mummies! Unfortunately my camera batteries died before being able to capture many pics of said mummies, but here's a few other things:
A daylight photo of the inside of the museum in all its splendour
A very very old body. I can't believe that its still around! Apparently because it wasn't enclosed the wind or something preserved it
A very cute canopic jar ^^
And last but not least a mummy. But my camera died before I got to take ones of the wrapped up ones *pout* I need one of the cat mummy!
I can't believe Christmas is in a week! It's going to be most bizare this year. There shall hopefully be much food and alcohol induced merriment. I'm kind of relieved not to have to do the present thing, as much I love giving them to people on the day it's so stressful beforehand and I always seem to get carried away. Still, will miss the family. Oh well, there's always next year.
Hmm, what to do tomorrow?? I want to do the Aquarium and the London Eye but I really should watch money until I get work in the new year. I would sell my right arm to see Wicked, Phantom of the Opera and The Sound of Music on stage just to name a few. Soon soon...
Edit: I just found the below quote in an old journal entry of mine and it made me laugh very hard, oh yes it did:
Bart: Everyone knows the first day back at school is a complete wank
Skinner: If by wank you mean educational fun, then stand back, it's wanking time!
