horniman
drove the family (in the truck, in the rain) to the horniman museum in se22.
the name always amuses me as my sense of humour is puerile.
the horniman museum is amazing.
i have photographed there before (with the mighty boosh).
kids LOVE it.
and it i find it fascinating too.
i think there's an age gap between loving museums first and then hating/finding them boring and then finding them fascinating again.
there's a room in the museum with almost every kind of instrument ever made.
and you can scroll through the instruments and hear them being played.
it's brilliant!
bees knees
there's also a bee colony doing it's thing with glass sides so you can see everything going on.
they seem completely unphased by the children bashing and/or licking the glass.
50,000 bees in there and one queen bee.
wasps are one of my greatest fears.
(i was swarmed by hornets as a child)
and i've never conquered my irrational fear of small, stinging, flying things.
my fear for such insects is disproportionate to their size.
i could of stayed in front of the bee colony for hours (confronting my fears) but i was dragged away by my children.
learnt about parasitic wasps that live in caterpillars and suchlike, today.
hardly a side salad
if you do venture into the cafe there, don't bother with the side salad: a slice of cucumber and a few shreds of lettuce (and a bit of yellow jizz apparently).
drove back to the factory and started dismantling the very fabric of it.
crowbar and sledge hammer in full swing.
REALLY hope we don't flood tonight.
packing a lorry begins tomorrow...
