essayelJust a quick update.
We borrowed this for an afternoon and 320 people came to see it - they actually QUEUED!!! Won't go into the hoops we had to jump through to get it but it was nice to see the thing in real life.
It's 2000 years old - give or take a few - and was found by two lads with a metal detector - lucky buggers.
Now, I'm musing over the following things:
Can puppies levitate? because that would explain the incident with the cream. Unless, of course, he and the cats are in cahoots, which is too frightening to contemplate.
Also too frightening to contemplate is leaving our 18 year old son to look after the house while we are away. A party is inevitable I suppose - and why not? - but we are busy damage-limiting. Last party there was a bit of a fracas where punches were thrown, only one - the last - our son's, but due to not done it before, he broke his hand. If it happens again we hope he remembers to use his left.
Off tomorrow at an unearthly hour to La Rochelle so the better half can eat sea food and drink - whatever we find. I plan to write, of course, and paint a little.
I will miss you enormously while I am away *hugs*

It's still quite heavy to hold though and fits the hand beautifully if you have quite small hands.
