Terracotta Army

With the tiling complete on the loft and a lick of paint applied I cleaned the brushes and spent Saturday afternoon flying my radio controlled plane. The wind was to little to strong for comfort and trying to land in a cross wind tends to focus the mind with visions of wrecked model. It was however immensely enjoyable though now that I have enough confident at attempt various aerobatic maneuvers.

It is currently pouring with rain - doesn't augur well for cycling to work tomorrow. Monday is my no "no park" day so no option but to cycle and with the loss of daylight savings it is sure to be dark when I leave work. Rain is bad, cold is bad, windy is bad, dark is bad - all four together is horrible.

Today we went to see the exhibition on the Terracotta Army at the British Museum. Sophie took a friend along and they spent the morning following various activities in the Ancient Egypt section. The Terracotta Army exhibit itself was very impressive. It includes a dozen or so the soldiers placed above the reading room of the museum. We did leave wondering why the Chinese haven't opened the tomb itself, or if indeed they have but what they found was ... well nothing.
