essayelTime for a post I think.
Mike's home and job hunting.
Jen's job hunting as well.
Hee, one of the local policemen brought a naval cutlass into the museum for donation. Now what a naval cutlass is doing in Abergavenny I don't know but the scary thing was that he confiscated it from a kiddie who was 'waving it about'. Since all the best pirates were Welsh [ie in POTC-AWE Bartholomew and Morgan are credited with writing the Pirates Code] it's quite nice to think it may at one time have belonged to some local rapscallion who left the Spanish Main or Barbary Coast and came home because he was sick of limb-loss, poor food and syphilis.
Another museum thing is that we are under attack by crows. Because the windows have a UV filter on them they are slightly mirrored and we think that the reason they attack the window and batter it with their wings and beaks is because they can see 'other crows'. It makes a terrific racket and they keep at it for ages, just having short breaks to rest and caw at each other.
Next week we have our regular Tudor re-enactment society parked in the grounds doing schools events with cannons [I love the smell of black powder in the morning]. I only hope the crows leave them alone.
