A pleasantly random series of encounters

Yesterday, I finally got out of the house properly and wandered around town in the sunshine. I met a couple of my former classmates at the Royal Academy, and we all went to see the Peter Callesen exhibition, I think I've linked to his website before, but in case I didn't, he makes lovely, fragile cut-paper sculptures. There is a small selection

The King Tut exhibit you have now is exactly the one I saw last year and it´s not anywhere near as good as the original one in the 70´s...no death mask or mummy or treasure form the tomb. It´s more about the historical timeline of the Pharaohs and dynasties before Tut. There aren´t nearly as many interesting artifacts as there were in the first exhibit but it IS interesting. However, I don´t feel I would have missed something essential in life if I hadn´t gone and was left with a kind of "OK. Is that all?"feeling afterwards. If you go try to remember that it really isn´t much related to that original exhibit at all even though the advertising has been misleading in that way.

I think we need MORE giant Egyptian statues in Trafalgar Square!
