Today I bumped into Graham Cunningham (eminent Sumerologist) by the photocopier and we had a chat about how annoying machines are.
I have a lot of twinging in my lumbar region, my ruptured shoulder is playing up and my neck won't straighten without a fair amount of pain.
Ahh academia...
In better news, my friend CB bought me a present - the old OLD myths about Lugalbanda (father of the more famous Gilgamesh) written up into a children's book - such a beautiful story AND they got the iconography right!!! Lions and turtles in the right places, proper horned hats and huge eyes on all the figures, and the Anzud bird is superb! It's utterly and entirely fabulous.
