My aim/intention for 2016 is to visit at least one new museum each month, and go to at least one special exhibition a month. Mainly born out of the fact that I started well in January as far as those aims go ;)

Sadly it will take more travelling (most of the local museum are closing so :()

( Record of visits )

I am spending a day doing very little, because I need a break from all the sewing. I know I am going to get paid for all said sewing, but yeah, just so much.
(Part of me regrets saying 'yeah sure I will make you three more mummies to use for ed sessions' the other part is like 'they are going to pay you for them' - but most of my non-work time has been committed to making said mummies, and it was making me a little mental, enough that mum commented on me looking like I hated the sewing machine last sunday *heh*)

So basically that is why I have been so quiet recently - have watched Highlander in evenings as pinning stuff together, and oh the scottish accents are so terrible. I love the first movie, and Christopher Lambert's accent does not bother me, because it actually works historically, at the time he was meant to live there was a lot of French/Scottish bonds, so it's ironically suitable. And Sean Connery is Sean Connery.)
Duncan just sounds so awful in all the flashbacks, it's almost as bad as the Geordie they did on Castle. It makes me think of Leverage and the Rashomon job, and how the others think Sophie sounds. I am guessing the accent is due to what the show wanted, cos I'd hope Adrian Paul would know what scots sound like.

Work is, crazy? I know my job is safe, for now, but so many of the others have been messed around, and literally we got a last minute annoucement on thursday saying that they now have until September (original was 31st March, but they had made no decisions, or given any notice, so that had kinda become impossible given that it was the 17th March - such a crazy mess).
We are going to have serious staffing issues (due to all the messing around) so it's going to be fun, but at least we have an answer for the moment.

I went to Manchester Museum at the end of February - I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would? It's a strange museum, attached to the University and barely sign posted, which was fun.

( They did allow pictures - includes animal mummies and taxidermy )

In other news, we may be getting two new kittens (after debate of whether to ever have any again, mum decided she'd rather have an overlap, our three remaining are all elderly now) - a Bengal and a Maine Coon - but we'll see. Parents are visiting the Bengal tomo, to see if they get along, and the Maine Coon is still only a few weeks old.

It'll be a change, and it'll be nice to have little ones in the house again (we've done little pups a few times in the last ten years, but kittens it's been twelve years).
